Sri Lembayung, Kiulap

Just a few days before examination in the previous semester, I had a chance to meet up Kang and Sheena (also known as DJ Madison from UBDFM) and had lunch together.

Due to that Kang was going to Kiulap to pick up some study materials thus we decided to just dine in that area. However, the three of us couldn't decide where to dine as we were eager to try out something new and honestly speaking, I think we have tried out almost all the eateries in this area. And then, suddenly I remembered there was a newly established Indonesian restaurant located in Kiulap thus I whatsapped them urgently and we all agreed to try it out.

This new Indonesian restaurant is named Sri Lembayung. It is situated on the ground floor in Seri Purnama Complex; the building behind HSBC Kiulap.

I guess most of you are aware that one of the most recognition Indonesian dishes is Ayam Penyet. However, Sri Lembayung is actually trying to introduce another significant Indonesian dishes to the locals which is Nasi Padang.

Some of you might be confused what is Nasi Padang and if you do have time, you might wanna read it up here. But in my own dictionary, I think it is similar to Nasi Campur in Brunei or Nasi Kandar in Malaysia. The concept of these three types of dishes are pretty much the same except for the different names given and as well as the different of cultural backgrounds have shaped it.

I would say if you wish to understand more of the Indonesia food culture then perhaps Nasi Padang at Sri Lembayung is a good start for you. The restaurant would prepare few varieties of Indonesian dishes for patrons to choose the dishes they want to try daily. And they even have set lunch menu available which is much cheaper when compared to ala carte. Not only Nasi Padang, Sri Lembayung also serves Sate but I have yet to try it as I thought it was too expensive.

It was rather a good dining experience for three of us and I love the bird cages! Haha I seriously don't know why I like it and even Sheena also went "AWW!" when she saw the bird cages haha!
