Externally, not much seemed to have changed at BP Bariani Power. The same two corner shoplot units at Taman Soga. Car parking spaces seem adequate.
Same two sections, air conditioned on the right. The fan cooled section was full house.
I 不小心 inadvertently wandered to the back 🤭
They were deep frying chicken marinated with spices such as turmeric (which coated the chunks of chicken with a golden yellow colour).
The menu.
Four of us on a whole day food trail, we just ordered the nasi briyani gam kambing (lamb).....
.....and, nasi briyani gam daging (beef).
Okok, nasi briyani isn't a very photogenic dish but it always hold its own in the taste and smell departments.

So, nasi briyani will never die, even in the Tik Tok world.
The chunk of beef was well marinated with spices and cooked till soft tender chewy moist to the bite. Nice blend of mildly beefy and spice flavours.
The thick rope of mutton simply refused to be torn by fork and spoon. Had to deploy a knife (or teeth, if you eat with hand) for the job.
Spices were gentler and there was hardly, if any lamb gaminess in the sinewy chewy meat.
Pro-tip: BP Bariani Power has lamb shank on the menu (RM39). Try it next time. I suspect it will be softer, more tender than the rope of lamb we had today.
The basmati rice was heavily spiced, greasy, moist (almost wet), generously studded with nuts (e.g. cashew), and fruits (e.g. raisin).
Personally, I prefer milder flavours but most people like it here for the Power! lah 😬
We didn't order chicken but I had it during my last visit (in 2012) - it was closing and the only thing they had left.
The crunchy, tangy, sweet pickled vegetables or achar was nicely zesty and tasty, cutting the grease well too.
Their signature fizzy bandung syrup. (I didn't try, but you might want to.)
BP Bariani Power has a cult status reputation among briyani lovers in Batu Pahat and from out of town.

✍10 Mar 2012. Nasi Bariani Power is often mentioned together with Nasi Baryani Mohd Shah when speaking about the best of this popular dish in Batu Pahat.
Whereas Nasi Baryani Mohd Shah is a tiny stall in a food centre, Nasi Bariani Power occupies two shop lots in Taman Soga. One of the shop lots is a spacious comfortable fully air conditioned dining hall.
As mutton was already sold out by the time I was at Power at , I had to settle for chicken.
The RM7 plate came with a large piece of chicken and a generous heap of basmati rice. There was also a dish of chicken curry and achar.
The basmati rice at Power was fragrant, and each separate grain of rice was springy and not too oily.
The chicken had a delicious, sweet, well marinated outer layer. The flesh was firm, well balanced in moistness and dryness, and tasted naturally sweet.
I enjoyed this chicken bariani and must definitely come back for their famous mutton.
