Sate Kampung Baung @ Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor

Restoran Sate Kampung Baung is actually located quite close to Kajang, Selangor but since they sit at the border, their address comes under Bangi. Nevertheless, if you plan to come here, it's to exit at Kajang.

Outdoor Seating Area and Char Kuey Teow Area

Order Chit

Despite Kajang being a town that is quite famous for Sate, the recipe here differs to the rest. Their original outlet is in Kelantan and they replicate the very same recipe here. Besides Sate, they are also famous for their Char Kuey Teow but I have not tried that yet. Ordering is quite straightforward, they have order chits on each table. Just fill in the numbers and pass it to any one of the waiters, and your order will be delivered shortly. We were here for an early dinner and even then, the number of customers looked good. 

Fresh Orange & Teh O Ais

Chicken Sate, Mutton Sate & Nasi Impit

Peanut Dip

It didn't take them very long to send the orders over. We ordered a glass of Fresh Orange and another glass of Teh O Ais. Both drinks were decent and my rating for both shall be 8/10. Their Peanut Dip was on the oily side and the peanuts itself were coarse. Taste wise, it wasn't sweet and it was more on the spicy side. Very different to the rest of the Peanut Sauce that we get in Kajang. My rating for this shall be 8/10. 

Mutton Sate

Chicken Sate

Nasi Impit

Both the Chicken and Mutton Sate were very different to the Kajang style of preparation. Since this recipe is from Kelantan, it is good to see that they have not localised it and still prepare it the way it is done back home. Both the sate's were quite dry, there were a lot more spices used and generally it was on the spicy side. Even their Nasi Impit comes in banana leaves and has a slightly different texture to it. If you're looking for a Sate that's different to the ones that we get in this side of Peninsular Malaysia, I would recommend giving this one a try. Pricey, unique but tasty.

Warung Kita @ Bangi, Selangor

Having tried and being hooked on to Nasi Manggey that I had tasted at Warung Cikgu, I had started to have a fascination for this delicious Kelantanese dish. It was only after this that I got to know that there is another place in Bangi called Warung Kita which sells the same stuffs and I decided to drop by the afternoon.

Prices

Long Queue

Fried Chicken Bits

Nasi Manggey @ RM 5.00

Right from the concept to the food items, it was the exact same thing as Warung Cikgu which is in Bandar Bukit Puchong. This one however had more student crowd since it is very close to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. I was here at around 4 pm and even then the queue was so long. Sadly, Kelapa Baldi and Coconut Shake was already sold out and so I had to opt for the other drinks. Concept is the same whereby you stand in line, pick up your food, choose your drink, pay for it and then find a place to sit. 100% self service concept. 

Sirap Bandung @ RM 2.50

Since my favourite Coconut Shake was sold out, I went for this Sirap Bandung. They also had some other drinks as well but you don't get stuffs like tea and coffee here. This was priced at RM 2.50 per glass and it was very good. So good that I had to have another one. My rating for this shall be 9/10. 

Nasi Manggey @ RM 5.00

Not As Spicy As The Other One

Mixed With Curried Chicken As Well

As for their Nasi Manggey, I felt that it wasn't as good as the one that I had at Warung Cikgu. This one was not as spicy and that was a let down for me. This dish is meant to be so spicy that it should sting you. This one however was a little creamy, mildly spicy and it didn't have the X Factor that I was looking for. Even their Fried Chicken bits wasn't as great as Warung Cikgu's and here, they had mixed it with some long beans, curried chicken and chicken feet which wasn't to my liking. I would rate their rice, curry and sambal at 7/10 and the Fried Chicken bits at 7/10 as well. 

Having been swept off by the Nasi Manggey that I had tasted at Warung Cikgu, my benchmark had been set high and when I tasted this, it was a disappointment. I am not saying that it was bad, but it just was not as good as Warung Cikgu's. And the variation in the mixed fried chicken bits with curried chicken wasn't to my liking. In terms of spiciness, this just wasn't there as well. It could be that this is a different recipe but Nasi Manggey should taste like Nasi Manggey and it has to have that sting factor. My vote is still for Warung Cikgu.

Anje...Nasi Beriani Gam Johor @ Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor

As I was in Bandar Baru Bangi today, I used my GPS to help me locate some good eateries here and it brought me to this restaurant called Restoran Anje...Nasi Beriani Gam Johor. 

Restoran Anje...Nasi Beriani Gam Johor in Bandar Baru Bangi

This restaurant is quite easy to locate. When you exit the Bangi toll on the North South Expressway, just head straight until you sight a Petronas station on your right. You would have to go straight and take a U turn to get back onto the other side and just after the Petronas station, turn in and go straight. You would be passing along some rows of shops and this restaurant is located right at the end of the third row of shops. As it was passed the usual lunch hours, the restaurant was not that packed. It was evident that this restaurant is used to having big crowds during lunch and dinner hours. 

Food Counter

Great Looking Dishes

This restaurant occupies two shop lots and is simple in it's design. At the far end of the restaurant is where the dishes are displayed and you would have to get in line to choose your dishes and then finally walk through to the drinks counter, choose your drinks and then walk along to the cashier. Definitely their main offering here is the Beriani Gam that comes with an assortment of various meats.From my observation, they had Fried Chicken, Ayam Masak Merah, Mutton Gravy, Beef Rendang and Squid for the day. They also have Laksa Johor and Mee Rebus but almost everyone in the restaurant were having the Beriani Gam. Even at this non peak hours, I had more then 10 people standing ahead of me in line. I was told by one of the waiter that during peak hours, the line even goes out of the restaurant with about 50 people ahead of you and according to him, that is a common daily scene. The Jalan Jalan Cari Makan Team had also endorsed this restaurant and their plaque is clearly hung on the wall. Finally when it came to my turn, the guy filled the plate with Beriani Rice, some Rice Crackers, a bowl of Dhall and then I choose my meat of choice. With that I walked on to the drinks counter and then to the cashier to pay for my meal. Then you can walk over to your table. Seemed more like a school canteen concept to me but I guess this is the best way especially when you have huge crowds on a daily basis. 

Mutton Beriani Gam @ RM 8.80

Another Angle 

I ordered the Mutton Beriani Gam as per the above photo. The portion is definitely huge. It comes with big portion of Beriani Rice, large chunk of Mutton, some Rice Crackers, a bowl of Dhall and some Cucumber Acar. I definitely could not finish the full portion and only managed to eat two thirds of it, even when being a large eater myself. The Mutton Beriani came at RM 8.80, Chicken Beriani is sold at RM 7.00 and Beef Beriani is sold at RM 7.50 . Coming to the food, the rice was really nice, the lamb was slightly sweet and cooked to perfection and it was easy to detach the meat from the bone. Even the bones were a delight themselves. The rice crackers went well with the rice and the Cucumber Acar was again pretty good. I enjoyed half my meal with the Mutton Gravy which was very good and half with the Dhall which again was well prepared. My ranking for this dish would be 9.5/10 . 

If you happen to be in this area, this restaurant is definitely very highly recommended. I am sure that their other Beriani's would be great too as everyone there were seen to be enjoying their meals. Their price also seems very reasonable for such a huge portion and the taste again is good. Once again, a great place to visit.
