Nasi Lemak Idaman @ Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya

I have heard so much about this stall that sells Nasi Lemak in the mornings in Damansara Damai but always miss heading there as time does not permit me in doing so. Today, as I was on leave, decided to finally try the place out. This stall is located just near the entrance into Idaman Apartments which is located along Jalan PJU 10/1. Getting here is quite simple. Once you turn into Damansara Damai, just keep going straight. You would pass a traffic light and shortly see a Petronas station on your left. Keep going straight and you would see Park Avenue Condominium on your left. Shortly ahead, you would come to another set of traffic lights. Within 50 meters from here, you would be able to sight this stall which once again, would be on your left.

A Wet Morning
The Nasi Lemak here is pretty good. The stalls starts business around 5.45 am and usually by 6.45 am, the Nasi Lemak would be sold out. Of course then. you would still be able to buy the other food items that they have to offer. Parking can be a problem so it is best to park near the Park Avenue Condominium and walk up to the stall.

The spread available here in simply impressive. They have many kinds of Noodles, a variety of Fried Rice, Nasi Lemak and other curries to go along with them.

Local Cakes Are Available Too

Besides the heavy food items, local delicacies are available too. I came here around 6 am and was fortunate as most of the items were very much available. Thanks to the rainy morning. I bought a number of food items to be consumed back at home. Here it is simply take away as they do not have a place for one to sit and eat. The prices too are very reasonable.

Nasi Lemak with Fried Egg @ RM 2.50

Steamed Coconut Milk Rice which was extremely fragrant

Fried Egg

Spicy Yet Delicious Sambal
The Nasi Lemak was priced at RM 2.50 and it came with a huge portion of coconut milk rice, half of a boiled egg, one fried egg and some spicy sambal on the sides. Of course, the usual peanuts and cucumber were added too. For the price, the portion was quite huge. The rice itself was aromatic, so delicious and good to be eaten on it's own. The Anchovies Sambal too was awesome! No wonder this Nasi Lemak gets sold out so fast. I regretted buying just one packet. I would rate this Nasi Lemak at 9.7/10 . Highly recommended!

Potato Curry Puff @ RM 0.50 each

Potato Curry Puff @ RM 0.50 each
They had two types of Curry Puffs available here, Potato Curry Puffs and Sardine Curry Puffs. I decided to go for their Potato Curry Puffs and they were very reasonably priced at RM 0.50 each. In most places, the market price for this is around RM 0.80 to RM 1.00 and I was shocked to learn that it was only priced at half the market price here. Definitely a pleasant surprise. The Curry Puffs too were soft on the outside and the filling was good with some mildly spiced Potato Curry. I loved these cute delights and would rate them at 8.3/10 .

Fried Mee Hoon with Chicken Curry @ RM 2.50

Fried Mee Hoon with Chicken Curry @ RM 2.50
As for the Fried Mee Hoon, they had two types too. One was the darker coloured one and this was the whitish looking Fried Mee Hoon.This is best when eaten with Chicken Curry. The yellowish colour that you see above was from the Chicken Curry and you also have a choice to choose if you want to add a piece of chicken or simply have it with the gravy. I choose to have one piece of chicken added to this and with that, it was a mere RM 2.50 which is really cheap. Taste wise, the chicken curry very much dominated the taste and it was simply delicious. I did enjoy this too and would rate this at 8.5/10 .

Overall, it was a sumptuous breakfast and I was glad that I was on leave today as definitely I would not be in the mood to work with a full stomach like this. As of now, the only thing in my mind is to have a good nice nap in this cool rainy morning weather. If you happen to be somewhere nearby, then I would highly recommend you to try this place out. Worth dropping by if you love a plate of good Nasi Lemak.
