A Meet-up and Mamayu Nasi Kukus


Elin of  Elinluv's tidbits corner and I had a wonderful time recently meeting up with Gertrude of
My Kitchen Snippets and Sonia of  Nasi Lemak Lover.  It was my first time meeting up with Gertrude and Sonia. The venue was lunch at Madam Kwan's, MidValley.  Sonia brought us some yummy pumpkin angku kuih as dessert and Gertrude's classmate Yik Wah joined us later.  We had so much to talk about and chatted like old buddies and if not for time constraint we could have stayed on longer.

The next agenda on our list that day was a 'date' with Andy Lee, the young and enterprising co-owner of Mamayu Nasi Kukus at the Oasis Food Court of the Midvalley Megamall.


Here's a short introduction of Mamayu......

Mamayu was born into a family of cooks from Tanah Merah, Kelantan. At a very young age,  Mamayu has shown passion for cooking, often following her mother to their stall to learn the trade.  After years of cooking and guidance from her mother, she has managed to master the skill of cooking authentic Kelantanese cuisine such as their very well received Kuah Kerutuk & Gulai Kawah.  


Ayam Goreng Berempah .... crispy on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside.


Mamayu Nasi Kukus ..... with Kuah Kerutuk on the left and Gulai Kawah on the right.

Nasi Kukus is steamed rice and at RM 8.90 it comes with a whole leg of Ayam Goreng Berempah, cucumber slices, mixed vegetable and some prawn crackers...... value for money, right?  



Nasi Lemak with Ayam Goreng Berempah, fried peanuts, ikan bilis, half piece of hard boiled egg, prawn crackers, kuah sambal, cucumber slices and topped with their yummy crispy rempah.  Also priced at RM 8.90 and only RM 4.90 without the Ayam Goreng Berempah...... another value for money meal!

For breakfast they serve Rice Noodle Rolls, something like the 'Chee Cheong Fun' not flat but rolled up like a spring roll.

Do drop by Mamayu's kiosks and try out their food and I'm sure you won't be disappointed for they were good, especially their kuah and sambal, not forgetting the Ayam Goreng Berempah.

According to Andy, Mamayu Nasi Kukus has 3 branches and they are located at :-

MamaYu 1st kiosk:
Ming Tien Restaurant
Jalan Pjs 11/28a, Bandar Sunway.

MamaYu 2nd kiosk:
Restaurant Nam Yiang
Jalan Pjs 7/22, Bandar Sunway.

MamaYu 3rd kiosk:
Mid Valley Oasis Food court, lot no.10

We left Kuala Lumpur with a 'bloated' stomach, at least, myself and I had to forgo dinner as I've had far too much chicken and rice for a day.  And Gertrude and Sonia, thank you so much for your lovely gifts and it was nice meeting both of you and Yik Wah.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge. Snow Swallow Dessert  ~   天然野生雪燕 Ingredients 8 gm Snow Swallow gums 10 gm red dates 10 gm goji berries 20 gm dried longan Rock or piece sugar to taste 1 litre water Pandan leaves (optional) Method Soak the Snow Swallow gums in plenty of water for at least...

Tamarind Pork Belly (Babi Assam) ~ 亚参五花肉

A very appetising dish with tangy and robust flavour of tamarind juice, red and green chillies added more oomph to the dish.  This dish will surely whet your appetite and you'll go for second helping of rice to soak up the tangy gravy.  This is a Peranakan dish but as always, there are many varieties to this delicacy.  I tweaked the recipe a bit to suit what I have in my pantry and the end result is a very yummy dish that I will not hesitate to whip up again and again.
