Nasi Kukus Mama - Marvelous & Cheap

Assalamualaikum...

this is the long overdue entry that was promised to you guys before...hehe...sorry guys, was super busy these few weeks =D

so as I mentioned in my Kuantan trip, one of the main reason I wen for that trip was to go and eat this particular cuisine that I was craving for when I was in UK!

Nasi Kukus Mama!!! (steam rice)

I still remember how this business expand so quickly from just a small stall that the owner open at Casper Restaurant and then they shift to Bilal Restaurant and then they open their own shop at Shahputra College building...I used to go to the stall version since that's where I knew about them from my classmates...and everytime I went there, if you come later than 3pm, usually the Nasi Kukus will be out of stock!from there you can actually evaluate how delicious the Nasi Kukus is! ^_^v

when they open their own restaurant at Shahputra College, I didn't have the opportunity to experience it myself and so, while I was in UK, from the whatsapp group as well as in FB group of IIUM Kuantan, I came across to know that they have already expand their business with the opening of a new branch just infront of IIUM Kuantan!! what!!! such a heaven thing for the current students...I'm super jelly!

One of the branch infront of IIUM Kuantan that I mentioned above...with the tagline "Murah & Marvellous" (Cheap & Marvellous)

they have upgraded their menu with variety of SETS MENU that was unavailable before and the set menu is considerably cheap...they sell solely nasi kukus before without set! ...with just RM7.00, you can get Nasi Kukus Ayam Berempah plus with any drink of either Oren Sunquick/Teh O/Sirap and many more sets that you can read on the banner...wow! thumbs up to the owner for such an improvements in terms of their addition in the menu ^_^v

the story line of the establishment of the restaurant is also portrayed in the restaurant...with just from a small stall, they have expanded with more than 10 branches in East Coast area within 5 years! (clap..clap...)

with new packaging as well~ before this they use normal wrapping paper that can be found in the market but now they have their own! ^_^

  

inside view!

oh myyyy...I'm drooling already!! huhu

why is it KL is so far from Kuantan -_-"  

I can't say how delicious it is! You need to try yourself...no words to describe...speechless~~

   

the view inside of the restaurant

the same concept is still being applied by the owner of the restaurant which actually being a hot topic among the customers...from the beginning of the establishment of the restaurant (from just a small stall), they didn't have any staff that entertain their customers at the table (ie taking orders)...the method that they use is you pay at the counter, take your order and eat at the table, and once you are done, they will clean up the table...thats how it goes...and somehow I came across an interview article with the owner clearing up the issue...he said that thats how they operate to minimise the cost and actually that is one of the greatest idea that maybe I will not came across if I am not a business minded person...kudos to the owner! ^_^v

so whoever in the East Coast of Malaysia and still haven't eaten here yet, come and taste it yourself...you for sure will not regret...hehe...and as for me, will there be another foodtrip to Kuantan? stay tuned! hehe (hope so! :D)

Bye~^_^v

Trip to Kuantan + Foodtrip!

Assalamualaikum...

one of my plans when I was in UK was to arrange a trip to Kuantan once I am back to Malaysia with 3 purposes which are to visit UIA Kuantan, photoshoot around UIA Kuantan with graduation robe and also foodtrip around Kuantan! and Alhamdulillah I manage to fullfil the plan with my bestie

so on the 25-28 of October I went to Kuantan with my bestie...first we went to MRSM Pekan to send off my niece and then we go to my friend house...upon reaching at her house, we perform our prayer and quickly we went out for dinner at Jungle...

   

                                Jungle                                                           my favvy chicken wing stall! 

   

                            Takoyaki                                                                      chicken wings 

our initial plan was to have our dinner at T-Jantek but since its closed, we changed it to Jungle...

we used to come here for dinner as well when we were an undergraduates at UIA Kuantan :D we bought the same dish that we used to order when we came here...reminiscing those moments~ anyway, the owner of the chicken wing stall still remember me! I am amaze! ^_^v

the next day, we began our day with Nasi Kukus Mama which me and my bestie were craving for when we were in UK!!!

they have change a lot! will tell you more in my next post...done with lunch, we head to UIA Kuantan for photoshooting~

  

  

  

    

    

    

Alhamdulillah I manage to meet a lot of people whom I wish that I could meet, and He granted my wish...I met Dr. Deny, Dr. Nooraslinda, Bro Zul, Kak Mai, few of my bestie friends which some of them are also my friends, we bumped into Hasna while photoshooting at Mahallah (during the last day), Fika Ayuni, Pak Cik Fadzil (owner Cafe Lot 4) and Pof. Ridzuan...unfortunately we didn't have the chance to meet Bro Danial and Kak Yat since they were away that day...we surely will meet again InsyaAllah one fine day~

done photoshooting, me and my bestie hang out with few of our friends and the best part is that we went to the new mahallah and it is soooooo beautiful! way better than mine and the previous students! to the new students and current students, you guys are sooo lucky, be grateful and take care of what you have been given now, thats what SRC have been fighting for years and has been granted! ^_^v

done visiting the new mahallah, we went to have our dinner at New Horizon Garden based on my bestie junior friend suggestion...at first, I always tell her that I really wana go to Tanjung Lumpur but since they recommended this restaurant and so we went there...its like a gathering dinner with my bestie friends...will review the food in another post! ngee~ :D

care much that I didnt go to T-jantek on the first day, me and my bestie went to T-jantek after we had our dinner at New Horizon Garden...this time we just ordered mango juice and pasta...just to drive away our craving at this restaurant...and the same thing happen! the waiter (which I suspect is the owner's son) still remember me when I go to him to pay the bills!!! oh mai...how can I not feel that I am attach to Kuantan so much~ -_-"

  

  

on the third day, the last day, we went to UIA Kuantan again and this time we photoshooting again but since it is too hot, at some point, we dont care much to wear the robe...ngaa~ =_=' and accidentally we met Prof. Ridzuan at Kuliyyah Allied Health Sciences...we talk and talk until we didnt really realise that its already so late! there goes my foodtrip to Pak Su & Mak Su one of my favvy spot for food, with the best sotong telup tepung and udang celup tepung! since its already late, so we decided to leave Kuantan without having any foodtrip anywhere...we just stop at Burger King infront of UIA and eat while driving...

UIA Kuantan has change so much! UIA even gonna have their own hospital which is just beside the campus itself and expected to be fully functional in 2016...I'm gonna come back and visit UIA again for sure! haha

I am sooooo gonna miss Kuantan so much! and I already feel it~ just started thinking to have another trip to Kuantan before go back to UK...huhu... :D


Bye~^_^v
