Tyre Shop Mamak @ Seri Kembangan
It has been a while since we have posted good places to eat around Seri Kembangan. For those who are new here, we used to reside around SK when we first started the blog, hence the numerous reviews on eateries around SK. While I was about to reformat my PC, I found some long forgotten pictures from those “seri kembangan days”. One of them is this famous mamak that takes it place in front of the tyre shop only after 930 pm daily.
The mamak is popular; with a fair amount of Chinese, Malay and Indian groups frequenting it.
For only RM1, one gets a packet of nasi lemak biasa. Hard boiled egg, mutton curry and chicken feet curry are among the famous side dishes that most patrons would order.
Although eating chicken feet is an acquired taste, but I swear by it. I love eating chicken feet when it is fresh cooked and hot. The mamak’s version was even better – drenched in aromatic thick curry sauce, it goes very well with our packets of nasi lemak. (RM 2 for 3 feets)
Our perennial favourite – roti tisu (RM 1.50) fares pretty well too. Paper thin, crispy, with coarse-grained sugar crystals for the sweet-toothed, it has won our votes!
How I miss those Seri Kembangan days where good and cheap food is aplenty…

eep. i read the sign wrongly at first (from up to down instead of left to right) and it went “kami kaki ayam jual ayam goreng, makanan kambing dan hebat ayam lain rendang lain.” i thought it was some weird sense of humour…
i’ve never learned to appreciate chicken feet, though i kinda wish i did. but i like how chinese restaurants sometimes “disguise” them by calling them phoenix claws.

this is a place that is very very far from where I live… hahaha!!! Everything looks nice but if you ask me to come for mamak… no thank you!!! I’d rather have my fav glass of teh tarik at Nasi Kandar Kayu nearby…

Gosh, can we still get these kinda prices around now?Thats really cheap!
Its sucha typical malaysian mamak ambience ( just with the added tyres and gear boxes around you). Sri Kembangan is abit too far for us to travel to, but if we are in that area after 930pm, we’ll keep our eyes out for this mamak. hehe.
