Lontong Mak Yah

Oh for a bowl of nasi impit with rich yellow gravy and all kinds of Javanese delights on top. We'll climb every mountain...

Malay

What's a Lontong you ask? Nope it’s not a simian-like animal but rather a Malay delicacy from the South of the border. It’s a combination of nasi impit, sotong, telur, kuah kacang, kuah lontong, cabbage and sambal. I don't usually like lontong but since my Grandpop took me to this particular stall, I was hooked. I don't know how he knows all these places. Maybe he’s in a secret society of senior food lovers.

It’s not that easy to find lontong in KL. So if you’re a fan, this stall is for you. People queue up from 7am just to get first dibs of this delicious breakfast. Yes, only us mad Malaysians will eat coconut milk broth with peanut sauce and sambal this early in the morning. Mak Yah gets all the ingredients just right.


"There's a separate queue for lontong"


First they put in a couple of semi circular nasi impits in your shallow bowl. Then they add the kuah lontong (mixture of turmeric, coconut milk and some secret spices), top it up with sambal and squid, and top it up again with seasoned coconut flakes and then half an egg. This stall's kuah lontong is actually thick just the way lontong is supposed to be. And it’s delicious. You can take your lontong with paru, telur, sotong or all three.

They also serve nasi lemak which is nice too, but the lontong is better. There’s a separate queue for nasi lemak so you don’t have to go on the incredibly long lontong queue.

A mountain of goodness, this is the ultimate lontong.
