The night before we left for Umrah in August we went to a place I've wanted to go for a very long time. The last time I was here at the Sulaiman Court's Nasi Lemak stall was way back in the year 2000. I didn't quite like it then but somehow wanted to come back for god knows what reason - oh yeah, I saw this place on TV sometime back hehehe. The food looked really tempting on the idiot box. BTW, I call it Nasi Lemak Sulaiman Court as I do not know the name of the place but I suppose it is the only Nasi Lemak place near Sulaiman Court in Kampung Baru, KL.
I was really excited queing up for the nasi lemak packed in really small packets. The guy behind the counter was working like a machine with a horribly sour looking face. What a turn off but he was really fast and into what he was doing - like I said, a machine, takde perasaan. KN took 8, mind you EIGHT packets (yeah they're small but EIGHT?) ahahah I was thinking biarlah, nafsu orang nak jalan jauh. I knew I could at most finish two. Really. Hehehehe...really!
After the Nasi Lemak, we ordered Beef Rendang (of course my favourite) and two sunny side ups - all thrown into a plate and again, no smiling face from the people behind the counter - these people must really mean business! There were many choices of lauk pauk for the Nasi Lemak - the packed rice ddin't even come with sambal so you've got to ask for it. OMG I just realized that I had the nasi lemak that night without sambal... patut la! We then ordered our drinks, paid for the food then sat at one corner.
Like I said before, I managed to finish up 2 packets while KN gobbled up the remaining 6. The rendang was not really up to my liking and that reminded me of why I didn't quite like it back in 2000. I usually love Nasi Lemak in daun pisang but I have to pass this particular one.

Furthermore the place was a little dirty - the floor was full of rubbish (I realised it the moment I came into the shop but turned a blind eye on them - lapar dan teringin sangat punya pasal) and service wise - huh so sombong one the people... hello, good service comes with a smile. It would pay to at least look up at your customers and give them a smile, no matter how brief.
Verdict? Nope, not going there ever again - unless I see the place on TV again and this time TV people, better start showing the true colours of the plce you're reviewing! Grrrr...!
