I'm always in search of good nasi kerabu and I chanced upon a spot in Batu 12 Cheras when I was there recently to fit new tyres for my car. Batu 12 Cheras is a rather quiet kampung area after the SILK highway bypassed this stretch of road and it is dominated by used car dealers. Narak Tomyam is situated between used car dealers and is rather difficult to spot initially. Look out for the Perodua dealership and service centre and this outlet is located somewhere on the opposite side of the road.

I had to try their signature nasi kerabu (rice with shredded herbs) and chose to have it with another East Coast favorite, ayam percik (barbecued chicken coated in a spicy sauce). The nasi kerabu had sufficient amounts of herbs but maybe too much bean sprouts (taugeh) for my liking. There was enough gravy, sambal and budu (fish sauce) as well. Only thing missing was some crispy keropok (fish crackers). I should have asked for some as they did have it in sealed plastic bags.

The ayam percik was tender and tasty. Thumbs up.

There's a wide array of lauk (dishes) including ikan bakar (grilled fish), ulam (raw vegetables) and curries.

Their nasi berlauk is nice, especially the ikan bakar when paired with kicap. Was hoping to try their nasi kerabu but it's only available in the mornings for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteYes, nasi kerabu is only for breakfast and its good. There is also another un-named breakfast corner next to the SHELL station further down the same road, closer to SAAS School - only in the mornings - the nasi lemak and nasi kerabu at this place is also good. Watch out for the review of this place - coming soon!
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly is this? Cannot get the destination on Grab. Any landmarks
ReplyDeleteNasi kerabu kurang sedap.Kalau nak yang lebih sedap, carilah nasi kerabu di Bangi. Mahal sedikit, tapi berbaloi.😌😌😌
