whoa how long has it been since i last did a review eh? hahaha.. hi!!! i'm back! i missed writing about food :)
anyway, one day i was craving for mi bandung. so as soon as i reached home, i called nana, my partner-in-crime, to book her for the nite and asked her where to have the best or at least tastes like mi bandung :D she didn't know. but she remembered JM Briyani had mi rebus or something. and i said ... ok la. it's close enough. so she called jon and jon's joining us later for some dinner as well ;)
i left home at about 8. i live in putrajaya now so it took me about 1/2 hour to reach nana's. picked her up and reached JM Briyani at about 8:50pm.
as i reached for the menu, nana already spotted the mi bandung! yeay! they've got mi bandung everyone. so i ordered mi bandung (bandung noodles?) and tauhu sumbat (fried tofu filled with some vegetables julienned (some people put carrots, cucumber, jicama and even bean sprouts - all the veggies that i love) eaten with yummy peanut sauce. nana ordered some rojak petis (fruit salad eaten with peanut sauce) and briyani with fried chicken and some curry. jon ordered murtabak.. it's prata with meat and egg fillings.. oh la la.. :D

Briyani
Ayam Goreng Berempah / Fried Chicken
Tauhu Sumbat/ Fried tofu filled with veggies served with peanut sauce
Mi Bandung/ Bandung Noodles
the noodles is not bad.. they used too much dried shrimps instead of real shrimps in making the gravy. but the taste is there. enough to satisfy my cravings for mi bandung. if you'd like the real one then you'd have to drive all the way to Muar, Johor.. hehehe ... now that's where you can get the real deal ;) the tauhu sumbat... omg! it's so heavenly! i love it! only thing is that they use too much onions in their sauces and gravies that i can taste the onion in my mouth when eating the dishes. i love the tofus cause they took out the insides of the tofu, leaving the skins and deep fried them and then put in the veggies so the juices from the veggies don't affect the tofu.. and so it's not soggy and it's not messy.. the rice is ok la.. i've tasted better briyanis.. the chicken is quite hard cause they fried it ... nana can't finish her chicken even though jon helped her. jon's murtabak is really nice. however they didn't heat the murtabak evenly, i guess they used the microwave to heat it, so it feels like eating yesterday's murtabak.. kekekee... ala2 makan getah gitu. but the taste is ok :) we finished it! rojak petis was ok.. but again it's the peanut sauce .. i dunno.. dun fancy it much :(
i love the ambience. the restaurant took 2 shop lots at subang. one is the open air type.. the other is a new airconditioned room. we chose to sit in the air-cond restaurant. the lighting was perfect for my photos, the presentation of the food was excellent. the staff are very nice and friendly. perhaps cause we were teasing them since we sat. :P service was quite fast. i mean with all the food that we've ordered... heeheheeh it'll take hours to serve us in a normal restaurant. i guess JM Briyyani is trying to go into the fast food market? heheh cool :) the toilet is clean. the restaurant is clean.
out of 10 i'd give it an 8. i don't mind going back. :)
