  "account": "Semenyih, on November 10 — A golden, well-battered piece of chicken, fried to order, accompanied by a generous bowl of slowly simmered sambal, fried ikan bilis and peanuts, thickly sliced cucumber, and a fried egg, not hard boiled. This is the nasi lemak ayam goreng at PD Nasi Lemak in Semenyih, offering a beautiful plate. Located near the Semenyih Sentral Wet Market, the shop has been serving their signature style of \"original 80’s flavour\" nasi lemak for less than half a year. Owner Mark Govinda, along with his wife Fiona, previously ran a stall at Kopitiam Semenyih and in a different kopitiam in Bandar Teknologi Kajang for seven years before opening their own shop. They aim to introduce their signature 80’s style nasi lemak to more customers. The shop boasts a laidback ambience reminiscent of traditional beachside nasi lemak from Port Dickson, with no trends or gimmicks. The counter displays various lauk-pauk sides and kuah for the nasi lemak, all covered with lids to maintain freshness. The freshly fried chicken boasts a crunchy crust and moist meat, reminiscent of an 80's fast food experience. Mark warns that the sambal is mild and slightly sweet, perfect for children and the elderly. The sambal is slow-cooked for three hours, adding to the classic seaside, old-school kopitiam breakfast vibe. The shop also offers various sambals, including sambal sotong and petai, providing a unique dining experience. The rice is fluffy and infused with coconut cream, fragrant with pandan leaves, making it a delightful highlight of the meal. PD Nasi Lemak in Semenyih serves up a classic seaside, old-school breakfast experience, inviting customers to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.",
