Nasi Ambang A.B. Rahmat, Taman Sri Tebrau Market, Johor Bahru

Nasi Ambang A.B. Rahmat, Johor Bahru (14 September, 2016)

Nasi Ambang A.B. Rahmat (GPS: 1.48705, 103.76806) is a popular nasi ambang stall in Johor Bahru. It is the front stall at Taman Sri Tebrau Market. If you visit this market, you will see that there are many stalls selling Nasi Ambang, but A.B. Rahmat is the most popular among them. I have only been here once, and have only tasted A.B. Rahmat's, so don't take my word as I have no chance for a comparison.

What is Nasi Ambang? Also written nasi ambeng in Bahasa Indonesia, it is a set lunch meal of fragrant rice with a number of items, of which the chicken is de rigueur. Other items include boiled egg, bergedel, rempeyek, rendang and urap.

I arrived at the A.B. Rahmat stall at 11:15am in the morning, and had to wait a little bit before the getting my nasi ambang. The workers were busy putting out various dishes. I saw deep-fried anchovies, serunding, chicken in dry curry, and other stuff. I was lucky to be a little earlier than the rest of the lunch crowd, for after I had taken my fill, the queue started to form.
