Went to Jombali restaurant for lunch with a group of friends after church today. Ordered a plate of Nasi Goreng Belacan Ayam Berempah (a.k.a Shrimp Paste Fried Rice with Malay Spiced Fried Chicken) for RM17.90 (+-USD 4). The fried rice is super flavorful due to the shrimp paste (which i like) and also a little spicy. Meanwhile, the fried chicken is freshly fried and has a very nice fragrance of the spices (which I also like). It is also served with a small portion of picked vegetables at the side. But one thing I have to say... the rice portion is too big! I couldn't finish it! 😂 Nevertheless, it was a satisfying lunch, given the taste, portion, and price point 👌🏼😄.

We have shrimp rice here too and I can relate when you said it's flavorful. It really goes well with any meat viand.
Yup very true! Belacan goes well with almost everything 😋😄
Really looks tasty and I agree despite it's being flavorful, this portion is really big, haha.
