The good J in Penang


Mention the alphabet J and my stomach feels like churning upside down . Apparently so many "investors " lives have been affected by that infamous JJ scammer that if what one hawker told me is anything to go by , they can't even afford to eat out at hawker stalls now anymore .

As for us , we've been putting up with rising prices , that I've sort of accepted that things we used to take for granted , now cost a whole lot more .

Therefore , imagine my surprise when I found a great offer over at this place called J...ohnny Rockets . The good J .





I've always thought their burgers were darned delicious and while this Smoke House Single set with a whole drink ( fries not included , those cost an extra MYR 3 ) , 
total cost for a smaller sized beef burger ( you can pick chicken if you like , but we're beef eaters ) , the whole small burger and huge drink costs MYR 13.90 to be exact ..



Ah but what raised our eyebrows and eventually drew us in was this .
Nasi lemak with ayam goreng berempah at MYR 6.90 only ? 
Get out of here !
Well , actually , the nasi lemak is sold by Urban Food Hall , but since they are adjacent to one another and share common dining areas , it is easy for one to presume that an American restaurant is serving the famous local dish now. 'Cept that the menu is more Indonesian than Malay , oh man .....yes it is confusing ! 



Spent a whole few seconds gasping at this plate .
It's unbelievable ! And best of all it IS good ! 



So you see , there is a good J in Penang after all , and it's called Johnny Rockets nasi lemak .
Or Urban Food Hall nasi lemak , to be precise .
Doesn't matter as this dish is definitely Yum yum !
