Best Johor Bahru Nasi Lemak List. Mughni Saujana Cafe. Warung Sebelah Rumah Menteri Besar

We came here two days in a row - Mughni Saujana Cafe is one of the best places for nasi lemak in JB. Many fans call this Warung Sebelah Rumah Menteri Besar because it is just beside the Chief Minister's Residence.

The queue at 7:30am. Even though it has a kampung ambiance, Mughni Saujana Cafe is just a stone's throw from downtown JB. Many people come here for breakfast before going off to work. Stay calm - the queue clears quite fast 😄

Nice rustic kampung ambiance inside the warung (stall).

The friendly owners of Mughni Saujana Cafe told us that they have been here since 1991 (that's 27 years ago). Most people call the stall Warung Sebelah Rumah Menteri Besar which means "the stall beside the Residence of the Chief Minister".

Nasi lemak tastes better to me in places like this (compared to shopping malls and restaurants) 😄

We arrived at Mughni Saujana Cafe on our first visit at 10:30am. Most of the food like their famous fried chicken was already sold out 😂 So, we settled for rendang chicken with our nasi lemak.

We love the savoury sweet spicy sambal chili which had a lingering hot sting in the aftertaste. The rendang chicken was tender, moist and we can taste a bit of natural chicken sweetness underlying the aromatic spices and mild heat. We enjoyed the rice which was moist, starchy and clumpy but well infused with coconut milk taste and aroma.

We also caught rendang lamb on our first visit. The lamb was moist, tender though slightly chewy. I liked it too.

Mee Soto Ayam

We rounded up our first visit with bee hoon soto ayam. The chicken soup was mildly savoury with spice flavour. Add a bit of their savoury spicy tangy sambal if you like a bit more heat in your soto.

We came back the next day at 7:30am because we wanted to taste Mughni Saujana Cafe's nasi lemak in it's full glory.



Fried chicken, ikan kuning, tempeh, chili sotong - we were in nasi lemak heaven already 😋

The chicken was well browned and crisp outside. The white meat inside was tender and moist. The spice flavour outside was very mild but there was little taste inside.

The floppy sotong slices were stewed in savoury sweet spicy sambal chili till they were soft and nearly jelly like. I love chili sotong and have it with my nasi lemak all the time.

When the lady we shared a table with noticed that we didn't order any fried beef lung, she suggested that we try some as this is the speciality here. So, we quickly got this plate for RM3.

Like everything at Mughni Saujana Cafe, the fried beef lungs are freshly cooked at the stall. The beef lung was cut into thin slices, marinated with spices and then deep fried to a crisp.

The thin deep fried beef lung was like crispy fried crackers. It has a slight savoury bitter flavour which is an acquired taste. I love it 😋

Forgot to order this chili cockles, this round. Shall make sure that we get some, next time (to warm the cockles of our heart 😝 ).

The teh tarik here is good. Can taste the sweet flavour and fragrance of tea underlying the taste of the sweetener.
