Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah [Azeey Kopitiam] RM 8.00

(Lunch)

Back to campus, had this since Royal Tandoori is out of white rice.

  • Green rice, assumingly pandan, but where taste
  • Ayam berempah, I can't really taste the rempah.
  • 2 slices of cucumber
  • Whole boiled egg
  • Anchovies + Peanuts + Sambal
It's mid, there's better food at this price bracket.
Add 50sen more for HTC or something. Dapo would top it with its cheap but at times inconsistent rice & unedible cabbage.

Roti Kahwin [Sky Malaysia] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

Had no idea what to order, so I followed the bois.
I hate green stuff in my dhal & curry.

"Why are you so frugal?" I have no idea what to order.

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.90

(Lunch)

Somehow there's no class later, so we came here instead.

  • 9 pieces of fish
  • 1 scoop of vege
  • 1.5 scoops of rice
  • Vegan curry & Pork Curry
It was 8.8, upon seeing my card, it's 7.9.
Yes, we just came back from break. (Boss lady asked)

叫菜吃饭 [Hinz Kitchen] RM 12.75

(Dinner)

Ordered this method so we can share our dishes, to taste different foods.
Is it worth it? "With single, I can't get to taste the vege."

Food is good yes, gotten to taste the Golden Paste.
Vege is quite decent, the sauce is nice as well.

  • Golden Paste Chicken - 9.50
  • Creamy Butter Pork - 9.70
  • Seasonal Vegetable - 10.00
  • Rice - 2.30
Then add tax on top of it. 6%.

09 Apr 2025 (Wednesday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.20

(Lunch)

8 to 7.2. How do you charge?

  • 10 pieces of fish
  • 1 scoop of vege
  • 1.5 scoops of rice
  • Pork Curry
Without the thai sauce, the fish kinda sucks.

Nasi Ayam? [RMY Solutions] RM 8.00

(Dinner)

Wanting to support independent stalls, so I gave this a try.
Had a choice between Kerabu(?) rice & white rice, chose the latter to be safe.

  • Chili - very spicy, not recomended for me to take.
  • Curry - pretty nice to eat with
  • Spice Fried Chicken - it's ok, better than regular fried chicken below.
  • Fried Chicken - better to choose the spice version, or is it because of different parts?
  • Steamed Rice - had better rice downstairs. Still edible, but quantity is a little low?
  • 4 slices of cucumber
All in all, a decent spend. Wonder how much does the other choices cost.

10 Apr 2025 (Thursday)

Set Ayam Kepak @ Dada [Warung Membawang] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Last seen 8 Jan 2025. That's a long time.
Good things take time as they said, and it took a whole 26 minutes.

Nasi Goreng Biasa [Sky Malaysia] RM 7.00

(Dinner)

Last seen 16 Jan 2025. I was thinking of getting the kerabu, but maybe later.
Tastes still the same.

14 Apr 2025 (Monday)

Nasi Campur [Royal Tandoori] RM 9.50

(Lunch)

Eh? Is this vege more expensive? Or did I take more rice?
Must be inflation.

  • 2+ ish scoops of vegetable
  • At least 3 or 4 scoops of rice
  • 1 Chicken

Roti Kahwin [Sky Malaysia] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

I didn't say anything, then this came. They said he ordered, so I'm "huh?".
Should I try the noodles or sizzling plates soon?

15 Apr 2025 (Tuesday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Last seen 5 Feb 2025.
My chicken has a different colour & pattern compared to the other 3.
Still a good meal nonetheless.

Nasi Kerabu + Ayam Goreng Berempah [RMY Solutions] RM 9.00

(Dinner)

Was thinking of supporting them again, they may have messed up my order.
Asked for separation of sauce, not found.

  • Nasi Kerabu - 5.00
  • Ayam Goreng Berempah - 4.00
Why is it 9 when it should've been 5 + 3? "Oh, spiced fried chicken is 4, 3 is for regular fried chicken."
  • The vege - it's ok, nothing special.
  • Blue rice - there's any taste? Seems normal.
  • Spiced Fried Chicken - Same taste, quite good.
  • Curry - went into rice, otherwise good
  • Brown things - some sort of thing I had before... don't know the name but it's sweet and commonly found in kuihs.
  • Chili - spicy still.
I can get better food for the price, but this is not too heaty I guess.

16 Apr 2025 (Wednesday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 8.00

(Lunch)

No Thai Dory Fish found, so I gambled for this as I'm at the end of the queue already.
"8.8." Have you included the discount for Chinese Club Membership? shows the new card "Oh, 8."

7 pieces with 1 big one, akin a fusion. It's still the same, hard-ish.

Nasi Goreng Sosej [Sky Malaysia] RM 7.00

(Dinner)

After using half slices to ration for a bit, I used whole slices, but adding in a bit more rice per scoop.
I've rationed it just nice.

No I did not follow your order, it's because I took Biasa previously, and this is the other cheapest food there is here, apart from noodles.

17 Apr 2025 (Thursday)

Nasi Campur [Royal Tandoori] RM 8.50

(Lunch)

It's down to 8.5, granted there was 2 of my mates before me that took the coloured rice.
With either long beans or coleslaw type vege, it costs them 10.

Chicken Slice Meal [Subway] RM 12.73

(Dinner)

It's good, somehow cheaper than the previous times I ate this.
Maybe because it's a footlong?

21 Apr 2025 (Monday)

Nasi Campur [Royal Tandoori] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

This vege is not so desirable to me, better to take others.

  • 3? scoops of rice
  • 3 scoops of mixed raw veges
  • 2 scoops of curry
  • 1 chicken

Roti Kahwin [Dapur Chilli] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

I love this, because it does not have green stuff, but the dhal is a little thick.
It also came pre cut, which is good.
I should try to ask for more curry, as that's one of the better ones.

I should try the nasi lemak bawangs, they seem to like it.
Same for the beef satay perhaps. Maybe some day once I'm independent to choose my food choices.

22 Apr 2025 (Tuesday)

Set Ayam Kepak @ Dada [Warung Membawang] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Their rice is plentiful today, but a bit wet.
Too much of their kruik made me stopped wanting to eat them.

At the mercy of your opening times, why are you inconsistent.

Double Cheeseburger Meal [McD Prima Avenue] RM 12.00

(Dinner)

Hm there's discount for students with their card- oh it's just for ala-carte. Nevermind.
Per usual, extra everything that doesn't feel extra at all.

23 Apr 2025 (Wednesday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 9.50

(Lunch)

Expat be charging wild prices, 10.50 without card, specified I have card, 9.50.

  • 1.5 rice
  • 9 pieces of pork, +1 extra large one
  • 1 scoop Kangkung
  • Spoonfuls of mixed pork curry + buttermilk sauce
This should be one if not the most expensive meal I had here.
Oh hell nah I had more expensive experiences, but this is the most expensive in 2025 for now.

Nasi Lemak Ayam Bawang [Dapur Chilli] RM 10.00

(Dinner)

The bawang is fine by itself, but directly eating it doesn't feel like anything much.
The chicken breast (I chose) is a little dry, but that's to be expected.
Everything else is like a regular RM 4 nasi lemak.

It'd likely be more worth to get some satay instead of the RM 6 chicken.

24 Apr 2025 (Thursday)

Set Ayam Kepak @ Dada [Warung Membawang] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Managed to finish kriuk today, rice is better, but it was still a little wet in the end.

Set C [Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus Glomac] RM 15.90 Free

(Dinner)

Joined a GDC meal. This is the place endy & nousagi wanted to go to initially, but out of space to dine.

  • Rice: is fine, heard it was unlimited, but didn't felt like it
  • Kobis Goreng: it was fine, until the more I ate it the worse the hangus taste got.
  • Chili: quite spicy, spicer than membawang, burnt my mouth, burnt my stomach later
  • Chicken: decent
  • Cucumbers: 4 half slices
  • Iced Lemon Tea: is fine
  • Tofu: ew. Hard, Dry, not like membawangs.
  • Tempe: decent, better than tofu somehow
  • Notes: they don't have spoon, neither plastic nor metal.
Thanks Abdullah for the meal. First times for everything.

25 Apr 2025 (Friday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

This is by miles less spicy versus yesterdays dinner.

Nasi Goreng Biasa [Sky Malaysia] RM 8.00

(Dinner)

Felt hungry, so had this.

  • Nasi Goreng Biasa - 7.00
  • Tambah Nasi - 1.00
Sosej is better for sausage consistency, but it'd be fake meat.
Biasa would be for chicken, aka real meat, tho it's harder to chew vs sausage.

26 Apr 2025 (Saturday)

Braised Yee Mee [Wok Grill, NU Sentral] RM 11.90

(Lunch)

First time in the food court, found the cheapest worthy thing to me.

  • Noodles: quite ok
  • 2 prawns
  • Vege is normal vege taste
  • Fish cakes: typical taste
  • Chicken bits like nasi goreng ones
  • Soup: regular soup, similar to chicken rice ones, not heavy on msg
There was a set for 14.90 which gave more vege + omelette (small ish). But I decided it's not money worth.

Mad-Single Combo [MadChili Pan Mee, Berjaya Times Square] RM 18.60

(Dinner)

It is quite spicy ish.

  • Noodles: spicy ish despite level 1, but free refills
  • Theres anchovies, chili stuff, meat bits, single vege & onsen egg
  • Teh O with 100% sugar is fine
Only had 1 refill, didn't felt like finishing it even. But fears of going hungry, and everyone was waiting for me..

27 Apr 2025 (Sunday)

Nasi Campur [Dapur Chilli] RM 10.50

(Lunch)

Honestly debating between another penyet, Sky's Mixed Rice or here.
Last seen 3 Feb 2025. Looked at their calculator + reconfirmed it:

  • Chicken - 6.00
  • Vege - 2.50
  • Rice - 2.00
..I forgot to not drench my rice. But I finished at least 95% of it.

Nasi Goreng Sayur [Dapur Chilli] RM 8.00

(Dinner)

It took their sweet time cooking it. Did they make sure it's 100% vegan for all utensils?
He asked me if I wanted to mix egg with it, I guess they're making it 100% vegan??
Cabbage, carrot, vegetable, chili, slice of cucumber, and onions. Unsure if egg is missing or not, but I don't see any traces of it.

Looking at my mates Ayam Penyet, it seems the same as Skys, but with the addition of presumed tempe/tofu. Is it worth the +3?

28 Apr 2025 (Monday)

Set Ayam Kepak @ Dada [Warung Membawang] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

"Got stalls why go bawang" I don't know, I'm merely following them.
The quality is nicer today.

It isn't spicy anymore since they noticed students here have skill issue? Can't seem to tell, its always around this level no?

Roti Kahwin [Sky Malaysia] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

Aughhhhh green stuff.
I should try to branch off someday, but how?

Not when non lakefronters are here at least.

29 Apr 2025 (Tuesday)

Set Ayam Kepak @ Dada [Warung Membawang] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Forgot to take a picture, this was what remains that was relatively untouched.

They do love their membawang.

Beef Soup Noodle [Salam Noodles] RM 10.49

(Dinner)

Thanks to my undecisiveness and awaiting for them to come, we went here.
The soup is alot, and tastes like the one at home.
Noodles was per usual lacking as well, meat was generous.

  • Chinese Tea, Hot Lemon Tea: decent
  • Soda machine broken
  • Rose syrup: quite sweet, gotta try when it's diluted with water
  • Sarsi: "root beer"
  • Orange juice: typical juice
  • Chili oil: no spice, got crunch, oil
  • Chicken rice chili: quite spice, good taste
Wait, do they have unlimited refill of rice & noodles ON TOP of soup & drinks??

30 Apr 2025 (Wednesday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

Weird, they didn't serve soup today, but the sambal is in a bowl instead.
The lettuce is also shredded up for some reason.

They don't have any vege for me to take for the mixed rice, but glad I didn't as it was near the price of my meal anyways.

The Calm Before the Burn RM 774.72

Afterthoughts, Apr 30:
New things were done, new people were met, and a face I'd long wanted to see finally appeared.
This month was packed, emotionally and physically — hit my PR at steps for one, and emptied myself thanks to a hangout.
Choices danced between routine comfort and curiosity-led detours — staying in the comforts of my circle, or venturing out into the unknown.
And all this, barely halfway into the trimester.

Clubs site, Codenection, academic chaos, internship hunting — everything"s converging. Tasks keep stacking, and I’m still expected to triump it all.
