The best restaurant in Bandar Baru Bangi 2018, Restoran sedap Bangi 2018

I have to admit that there are many good restaurants in Bangi or in Bandar Baru Bangi. New restaurants in Bangi are mushrooming and the uncompetitive ones would just close down. Choosing the best restaurant in Bangi is no easy task as there are many of them. Some are really good and some are just mediocre.Some restaurants have a lot of good dishes but in some cases only one special dish. One restaurant is Bangi that I would consider the best restaurant all round in Bangi for the year 2018 has got to be Restoran Umai in Seksyen 7 Bangi. I will elaborate on the reasons for choosing it as the best all-rounder family restaurant in Bangi.

The main reason Umai is the best restaurant in Bangi is that when you order dishes like nasi goreng paprik , the cook in the restaurant would prepare it fresh. The restaurant would not serve you pre-cook dishes and scoop it out from the container to serve you. So what you get in the restaurant is freshly prepared dishes that you have just ordered. My favorite dish that I always order depending on whether it's for lunch or dinner would be "Sup tulang "(RM 8). The soup is given in a reasonably large bowl with 4 - 5 quite big pieces of tulang with a reasonable amount of meat still attached to the bones to be heartily consumed. The meat, as usual, is not that tough and sometimes would be easily fall off from the bones. The soup is also delicious with enough condiments and beautifully decorated with freshly cut fresh green. onions.

In the evening when I have no appetite to eat rice or to go for something heavy,  I would go for mee rebus umai (RM 5). Wow, the mee rebus is really delicious. The sauce is really thickened and flavourful with not  much of dried shrimps taste. It is probably one of the best mee rebus ever. The gravy I believe is thickened with sweet potatoes instead of potatoes and nicely balanced in flavor with a tinged of sourness. The portion given is quite large and filled with yellow noodles that are drenched in boiled water briefly to retain its chewiness. Every ingredient in the bowl works perfectly to complement each other.

 Another afternoon dish served at the restaurant is Laksa kedah (Rm 4.80) . Like the Mee rebus the laksa served at this restaurant is better than the infamous laksa telok kecai. The fish gravy served is just perfect and not too spicy. If you need more spice , just order freshly cit cili padi. It works well with th enoodles. The laksa in the bowl is also not too soft or too hard and just perfect to be savored with the quite thick fish sauce. Sad the laksa bowl is not served with otak udand which would have made the laksa perferct.



When inviting friends to enjoy the dishes at the restaurant don't forget to order cucur udang. The cucur udang at the restaurant is prepared fresh by the cook. They will only fry the fritters when it is ordered, so you will get your cucur udang served hot off the oven or the belanga. The best thing about the cucur udang is that it is served with two types of sauces ie, Kuah kacang and kuah cili. The kuah kacang is the real satay type of  kuah kacang and not the half- baked typed sauce. With a cup of air teh halia and the freshly prepared cucur udang your afternoon with friends is just about perfect. You just cannot get this kind of combination in Bandar Baru Bangi.

The restaurant also serves nice nasi goreng paprik seafood, char keow teaw, cucur kodok, lempeng pisang. The service is generally quite good but there are times when there are too many customers around and your order will either be just lost or the food order will be very much delayed. I would give this place 8/10 * for overall recommendation. Cleanliness gets 6/10 *, and service 5/10 *. Overall the good taste of the dishes and reasonable prices and a variety of heavy and light dishes offered make it the best overall restaurant for the year 2018.
