Restaurant Bukit Jugra

Yenny Agustin

This restaurant 's been around since years ago and contains remain unchanged as time passes & still exudes that homely, urban & relaxed ambience. However, the huge kilns which were used to gradually cook the food has already been demolished and in its location arehuge stacks of charcoal where in fact the foods encased aluminium foils & cling wraps protected with hardened mud will be baked all night. Therefore you will need to order at the very least 24-48 hours beforehand & stroll in orders will never be entertained. The beggar's chicken & lotus leaf glutinous rice remain the very best authentic dishes served here & has preserved its tasty quality each one of these decades. There have been other new launch to the menus like beggar's duck or mutton but nothing at all beats the initial dishes. The chicken has been succulent and oozing with poultry juice mixed with a number of herbal treatments & spices. The glutinous rice had been super tasty and to be honest, among the best we've tasted. That is likely because of the authentic way it had been baked for hours. In terms of the purchase price, there's been a noticable increase through the years (expect to invest around RM130 to RM150 for 4 adults) but will not deter us from returning once in a while mainly because that it has preserved its authenticity. Some tips worth revealing. 1. Remember to order beforehand to avoid dissapointment 2. The eating place is small and contains limited seating capacity therefore early booking is strongly suggested 3. Since it is situated in a very urban region, come for lunch rather than dinner. There's barely any cellular reception here. 4. There isn't any charge card facility so money is king

We paid a trip to this restaurant once again after our recent dinner here. It was throughout a dry spell therefore the river was nearly dry out but who cares. The meals and the initial ambience is what held us returning. This time around round, we werethe only patrons around which managed to get more private and comfortable. The beggar's poultry was juicy, delicious and packed plenty of punch mainly because of the spices stuffed in to the chicken prior to cooking food. The beggar's pork innards has been just so-so and didn't make an impression on. The main highlight had been the lotus leaf glutinous rice. Filled with flavour and prepared to perfection & not minimal dry. I have to say that the purchase price is pretty stiff and contains been on per year on yr incline but at the minimum, the flavor has been properly maintained. Not suggested as a staple diet plan but something held for a particular ocassion.

An extended drive to an nearly deserted area for checking out the popular beggar's poultry but to learn that it's only just a poultry cooked with herbs. I had been a lot more disappointed to start to see the chicken not really wrapped in clay. The onlything that i enjoyed was the herbal soup. Total bill found a tad very costly.
