Dissappointing apam made up by Nasi Lemak ‘Ganja’, Jalan Athinappan, TTDI

This hunt has been on-going for months.

There wasn’t much information that could be found on google searches, except for a mention or two of it’s general location, how good it is & the addiction (hence the name) that follows after the initial taste.

Some people I spoke to knew about it, most don’t. Those who knew about it warned me of eccentric opening days, delicious sambal & his phantom opening hours. But they couldn’t tell me EXACTLY where his stall is; just “at the bus stop along Jalan Athinappan, near the TM building“.

Left with not much choice but a strong kiasu need to taste this ‘grrreeaatt” nasi lemak, I made several attempts to seek him out. His opening hours are a challenge enough, for at 10pm I’m more drowsy then hungry. And each time I went, I had to drive along the whole stretch of Jalan Athinappan looking for a bus-stop with a lone stall selling Nasi Lemak.

Few weeks ago I was in the vicinity again. Though for a different purpose.

Our hunt was initially for this.

Hennessy Lor Mee & yummy Ais Kacang at Setapak!

I first read about this intriguing creation in this article “Food Tale promotion by Knife Cooking Oil” which was published in The Star.

As usual, it took me months later to visit the shop, with the usual obstacles of distance, time & the lack of an adventurous eating partner.

So one weekend, I decided to hell with it, if no one is keen then I’m going alone. And I ended up having 4 people joining me right after I have declared so. Funny how things turned out sometimes huh?

ps: (And today is my 2nd visit! Food IS consistent!) *stamps approval*

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

So how’s everybody? I have been amusing myself reading tweets & it seem that CNY is what CNY is supposed to be, visiting relatives, indulgence of food, gambling, overdrinking & overall, a MERRY TIME for everyone.

Myself had had the good fortune to enjoy the clear roads in KL & PJ (though I personally find that traffic wasn’t as clear as it used to be during the same period years back) & been going around whizzing past rows & rows of shops tightly shut in SS2, Petaling Street, Jln Alor & Cheras; all for the sake of gleefully gaping at the deserted streets & enjoying the ability to get parking just about anywhere! (When was the last time one gets parking in Telawi Bangsar with one eye shut?)

Anyways, back to food. Other than the F & B outlets in malls, most of my favourite kopitiam haunts are closed, (understandably) during this period. Well, CNY or not, a gourmand has got to eat. And mamak food just doesn’t appeal somehow.

Thank goodness for some Malay friends who made sure I wasn’t having any mediocre grub for my 2nd day CNY dinner. They whisked me off to Sg Buloh (I never been to Sg Buloh before!) & ordered me this.
