QIJI, located at Nex Mall, serves authentic local dishes like Nasi lemak, Laksa, Mee Siam,Popiah, Malay Tahu Goreng and Chee Cheong Fun.The tables are quite closely packed, so, on a busy day, it's difficult to get a seat.On that day we decided to try the Nasi Lemak and Laksa.There are many different Nasi Lemak sets to choose from, or you can go free and easyand customise your own set.

Popiah, Malay Tahu Goreng and Chee Cheong Fun.
The tables are quite closely packed, so, on a busy day, it's difficult to get a seat.
On that day we decided to try the Nasi Lemak and Laksa.
There are many different Nasi Lemak sets to choose from, or you can go free and easy
and customise your own set. I chose Chicken wing, two pieces of otak and ikan bilis.
We also ordered Laksa (with yellow noodles) with prawns but no cockles.
One thing I enjoy watching is how the stall assistant neatly arranges the items ordered for each Nasi Lemak set - the chicken wings are cut and neatly arranged, the otak leaf wrapper is peeled off and the ikan bilis is carefully placed at the side, not forgetting the sambal chilli.
The Nasi lemak was cooked to perfection - not too much coconut milk.
The Otak pieces were absolutely ''sinful'', though - rich in coconut milk, full of flavour
and grilled just right - really an indulgence. The chicken wings were fried hot and crispy
and the ikan bilis with peanuts were delicious condiments.
Next, the Laksa - another gastronomic experience. The gravy - the most important part - was thick and full of flavour. All the ingredients, especially the prawns, were incredibly fresh. Even though it was 8pm, the food was still being prepared with such freshness.
Another impressive point worth mentioning was the care taken by the order taker to ensure that the customers got exactly what they asked for - all special requests were attended to with precision.
I will definitely be back for more - perhaps the tahu goreng the next time!!
