#Awana Asian Kitchen

[buffetlicious]

Had to make a trip to our office in Johor Bahru, Malaysia with my colleagues. Was invited to lunch with him and another colleague from the Malaysia office. He brought us to Awana Asian Kitchen which occupied two shop units. We walked pass the open dining area and straight to the air-conditioned section. My other colleague ordered the Nasi Beriani Ayam (RM12.80) or Chicken Biryani in English. The chicken is cooked rendang style with long grain basmati rice and served with pickled vegetables, papadam and curry gravy.

Asked my Malaysian colleague what he usually ordered here and he told me Nasi Ayam Penyet (RM12.80). The dish came with a fried whole chicken leg, tempeh, mushroom, bean curd and rice along with raw long bean sections, cucumber and cabbage plus sambal chilli. The chicken is fresh off the wok and is so tender and juicy with crispy savoury skin. I love everything on the bamboo serving dish except the raw and hard long beans.
