Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Baru at Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara
July 13, 2009 by email2me · 41 Comments | [2,850 views]
Recently after the closure of Kafe 888, the shop lot has been kept empty for few months until Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Baru took over. The shop have been re-renovated and just open for business last week. I am a big fan of nasi lemak but I never step my foot at their main outlet which located at Kg Baru KL. Everytime I get turn off by the long que.
I am not sure the history of this nasi lemak but their name is really well known. When people said wanna go for nasi lemak in KL, automatically Kg Baru KL nasi lemak will come in mind. When I arrive there, the restaurant is 50% occupied.

Nice and comfortable environment
I met Kampungboy and City Gal after seated for a while and we ate together. Seriously the service here are terrible. We need to wait for everything at least 20 mins for them to take order, deliver and return my change after paying the bill. In their main branch, everything was self service. Here they will pass you a menu and take down your order. Then they input the order to the computer nearby so that the kitchen can process the order. It take around 15 minutes for them to deliver.
We sit at the back area as the front part were mostly big tables cater for 4 or more pax
A standard nasi lemak plate come with coconut milk rice, anchovies with peanuts, 1/2 hard boiled egg and cucumber RM2.95

Ya lo … go also waste money. Economy no good
Such a nice ‘packaging’ for a nasi lemak ’stall’. But the food looks not appetizing at all.

Usually I don’t write foods that are no good. This one cannot avoid coz to alert people not having the same experience as I did.
I tried it last week. Wasn’t impress with their nasi lemak. The pisang goreng was really good. The nasi lemak was so so. The sambal petai was good. Anyway, I will only go back for the pisang goreng. Their tea breaks set menu is pretty alright though.
Cheers…..

Hmmm … but their tea also crap. Diluted and use 3 in 1 mix to make it.
I tried their nasi lemak with sambal petai udang in their Taman Melati branch. Tasted damn lousy and expensive….

The food also nothing special.
I felt so disappointed about what happen yesterday 14/07/2009. We went in the shop and managed get the menu but after waiting more than 10 minutes still nobody take our order even we keep on calling the waiter but they just ignore us….at least they can say “tunggu sekerjap or nanti sekerjap” to us but they totally ignore us, end up we all just went off….I told myself won’t step in this shop any more such a poor attitude….This is not the way doing business…

But the crowd still huge during dinner time … and I can see a lot pissed faces =.=||
Their other outlets at Ampang Park & esp Bangsar (opposite the new Bangsar Shopping Village, almost next to Baskin Robbins)are much better & friendlier!
Fast service even though there is a crowd.

I will not go again as their taste doesn’t give me a BANG impression.
The anchovies & petai look so miserable~~

Ya lo …. The petai one piece cut into 3 pcs
the layout looks like Steven’s Garden leh… I wonder are they from the same group? usually the famous place will have slower service. It is expected.

Ya lo …. That’s why I think I read it some where. But logo diff.
Oops, the nasi lemak doesn’t sound too good. And waiting 20 minutes is too long, very bad service… Looks like I should avoid this place. Nice photos though!

If they don’t improve their customer service, customer will walk away sooner or later.
tq for your comments upgarding of our services will be improved tq.
The appearance certainly didn’t look too appetizing, especially the look of the ikan bilis.
I think I’ll reserve my stomach space for better nasi lemak.

Same here
I had a lousy time on my first visit to this place too.. I had to wait an hour for a bowl of regular laksa and a scoop of ice cream.. extremely lousy service too. They said they had technical difficulties during my order.. they should have make some compensation or something.

Ya I know how bad it feel …
Their nasi lemak quality drop a lot, eg. now their chilies is only taste sweet and nothing else. Use to be long queue in their kg baru stall but i think lesser people patron them comparing to few year back. And the staff are damn rude…

I am really disappointed with the service provided there and I won’t forget the bad experience encountered during my first visit there. The staff are not well-trained.

All are new and have to call many time for something ….
We value ur comments & suggestions about our service. ur views help us understand e needs of some of our customers and improve services.TQ guys:)
I’ve heard about the lousy service of this well known nasi lemak and despite public complaints, they never learn and improve. Forget about them. Maybe you all should try the one at the hawker stall in Kepong Baru. It’s run by Malay couple and is one of the best in town.
