D'Limau Nipis


Everybody loves a good snack. High among the favourites is the char kuey teow, a greasy but irresistible dish. Suitable day and night, the char kuey teow is easily found at roadsides, mamaks, and in simple and high-end restaurants.

Bandar Baru Bangi's D' Limau Nipis restaurant, located at Seksyen 8 (opposite PKNS Complex or better yet, 50m from our home), serves a delicious and yummy plate of this dish, which they label as Char Kuey Teow Sahabat, and available in biasa and special versions. Go for the special, full-works version, and treat your taste buds to a tasty plate with generous helpings of prawns (five of 'em) and cockles. The Sahabat isn't too greasy and salty, they've got the balance just right. The texture is smooth, almost sultry, and juicy, it practically slides in your mouth but the taste explodes.


Accompany your plate of the Sahabat with the premise's signature drink, the Air D' Limau Nipis, an attractive concoction which is basically an ice-blended limau nipis beverage. But when combined with vanilla ice-cream (again, generous helping) and laced with green jelly, you get an ultimate thirst-quencher. The ice-cream melts in your mouth and it perfectly compliments the soury taste of the limau nipis, which then leaves a lingering but pleasant after-taste.

Be warned though, the Sahabat is small in portion, so order two plates. Even if you do order one initially, a second helping is hard to resist. The aroma itself is enough to entice your senses. Now do you crave for a plate?

Disclaimer: This is a personal review, so my taste might differ from yours. And I'm not being paid by the premise to write this.
