Lunch At JM Bariyani In Bandar Baru Bangi
The title kinda rhyme, doesn't it? Hihi
A meal for three was just a bit over RM30.00 so it wasn't that bad.
On Monday, Feb 15th which was the second day of the Chinese New Year we went around Bandar Baru Bangi looking for a good place to have lunch. We had wanted to go to Miyagi Restaurant (a Japanese restaurant) there but like many other outlets around town, it was closed.
Not wanting to have lunch at the many franchised kopitiam outlets scattered there, we went to JM Bariani house to eat briyani instead.
Don't know what happen to my photo taking skill, this shot in front of the shop was supposed to include Raimie. LOL
The interior of the restaurant. There's a smoking area outside for those who insist on smoking during/after their meal. Free wifi available here but with the hustle and bustle of the place, this would be the last place I'd do any surfing.
Service was fast and efficient, so no fault there.
Drinks - sirap, sirap bandung and iced lemon tea. Zaini said if you want to eat briyani, it is only proper to drink sirap. You think so? But damn expensive sirap at RM2.50 per glass.
I wanted to eat briyani gam but it is only available on Wednesday. I settled for a Ayam Masak Merah briyani set and Zaini went for the Mutton briyani set. The rice was flavourful and fluffy. The chicken was tender and juicy. Zaini said his mutton was just so-so.
A set for me was not enough because I was still a bit peckish afterwards. So if you are a big eater, I guess you'd better opt for the "Hidang" options instead of the set (or buy two sets!)
It not just rhymes, it's a tongue twister la ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteI haven't eaten rice in ages and that pix of the briyani is making my mouth water!
What a coincidence. Benghui has been bugging me to take him for nasi beryanni since an hour ago.
ReplyDelete@Nick,
ReplyDeleteWah, you don't eat rice one? How come? "Jaga"ing your health, is it?
@Bengbeng,
ReplyDeleteSo, you take him or not? :)
i dont know...the timing has to b just right. over here a plate is RM6.50 and i dont know if he can take the curry. he just loves the rice itself and the keropok which comes with it
ReplyDelete@Bengbeng,
ReplyDeleteThis dish isn't exactly cheap in KL either.
The rice is indeed nice. Raimi also doesn't take curry. He just ate the rice and keropok too. :D
Haha, it does rhyme doesn't it? : )
ReplyDeleteHow come the photo of Raimie is missing? Either you didn't take that shot or you accidentally deleted it, haha!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it only proper to drink sirap when eating nasi briyani? Got such rules meh?
ReplyDeleteI seldom eat nasi briyani. Maybe should eat it one of these days. Inspired by your post to eat nasi briyani. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI like sirap bandung! Nice : )
ReplyDeleteBut may I ask, why the Malay community like to drink sirap? And what is sirap actually made from? Sorry for my ignorance!
ReplyDelete@foong,
ReplyDeleteSirap is essentially sugared water with red colour. :D
But it is nicer to drink homemade ones because we put pandan leaves in there when boiling it so there's a nice aroma to the syrup.
Why is sirap bandung calld sirap bandung, BTW? XD
Nile/Pakistan's briyani is more spicy, simple & delicious...oishii desu yo
ReplyDeleterhyming title! haha~ well now CNY is almost over, where in the world are you? :P hope you're enjoying ya holidays!
ReplyDeletei am not a fan of syrup myself, so no, i don't drink syrup even when i am eating briyani. :p not forgetting, a happy chinese new year (n valentine) to you! :)
ReplyDelete@Su,
ReplyDeleteHontou ni?
Mmmm... maybe have to try them someday. Haven't tasted one outside of Malaysia yet. XD

@Superman,

ReplyDeleteSo sirap is just sugar water? Mixed with red colourings? Aiya! So unhealthy! I'll think twice about drinking sirap bandung next time! LOL!
