For the previous 11 years, 75 year-old Mohammad Sharif has been feeding the hungry bellies of Subang Jaya from the within of his Proton. On a regular basis, he parks his automobile proper exterior the parking entrance of Wisma Consplant in Subang Jaya to arrange his enterprise, Wak Nasi Campur. If you happen to have been passing by, you’d most likely see the herd of workplace staff standing below the recent solar earlier than you even discover the pink automobile.

Those that work close by flock to atok’s automobile as quickly as he opens store. With over 20 kinds of lauk to select from, it’s no marvel that his nasi campur is everybody’s go-to meal. Based on FMT Way of life, Mohammad Sharif wakes up at 7am to cook dinner, and his dishes sometimes promote out earlier than 2pm. 

After we arrived round 12pm, we have been shocked on the sheer quantity of people that have been already queueing up. The road was complicated at first, however after some time it was clear that it snaked across the automobile, ranging from the entrance left passenger seat.

What I attempted at Wak Nasi Campur

I used to be amazed on the quantity of lauk containers that slot in his automobile.

To maximise the restricted area, the dishes are positioned on the entrance passenger seat, and canopy the whole lot of the again seats. It doesn’t finish there although, as you’ll discover much more within the trunk.

I made a decision to get ikan keli goreng sambal, terung sambal, and a chunk of labu masak lemak with a few of the kuah. This got here as much as RM6. We have been all stunned by how affordably priced this was— no different nasi campur stall within the Klang Valley would cost the identical quantity.

For the opposite meal, we selected sambal sotong, fried rooster, cabbage, and a few spicy gravy. Even with the seafood (which might sometimes value a bomb in different places), this pack was priced at RM9.

In complete, I paid RM15 for two packed rice meals. If you happen to dwell round KL or PJ, you already know that that is fully unprecedented.

Lengthy story quick, this was a particularly satisfying meal, particularly given the worth. The labu masak lemak paired effectively with fluffy rice. It has simply the correct quantity of santan to present it that entire and creamy style that’s strongly related to masak lemak, with out feeling too heavy. The pumpkin itself was comfortable, and offered much more creaminess to the dish.

The lemak-ness of the dish went hand in hand with the spicy catfish and eggplant. The meat of the fish was comfortable and didn’t have a fishy or hanyir odor to it. Nevertheless, there wasn’t sufficient sambal coating the fish to present it a definite style. 

However, the sambal used within the eggplant dish was equal elements spicy and savoury, creating an ideal stability with the creamy masak lemak gravy. The eggplant was additionally minimize into skinny slices, permitting the vegetable to be cooked evenly. 

As for the opposite pack of rice, the fried rooster, though already chilly after we began consuming, was extraordinarily tender. We may style the seasoning even when biting into simply the flesh.

Probably the most spectacular lauk to me although, was the sambal sotong. Most locations are inclined to overcook or undercook their squid, however this atok is clearly a really skillful chef. The squid was comfortable and simple to chew, and the spicy sauce ensured that no chew was bland or boring. Nevertheless, the sauce could also be too spicy for some.

Last ideas

This place is completely well worth the go to for those who dwell or work close by. Extraordinarily reasonably priced whereas nonetheless sustaining the authenticity of Malay kampung dishes, it’s clear that Mohammad Sharif does what he does out of the kindness of his coronary heart and pure ardour. I can undoubtedly see myself going again, particularly on days once I don’t know what to eat for lunch.

Listed below are some suggestions for those who plan on visiting. Firstly, I extremely encourage you to deliver your individual container there, as solely styrofoam packing containers are offered. Second, be conscious— most of his prospects are workplace staff who’re simply there to tapau meals and go, so be fast in deciding on your facet dishes. Lastly, remember to have money available!
