Tried their nasi Goreng kampung with ayam Goreng kunyit and sunny side up egg..everything was good..but if you can add a bit more salt into the fried rice then it'll be better..I love the mee Goreng daging salai..the taste is just nice and got quite strong smoky flavour..the set will come with ice lemon tea or lemonade..just need to add rm0.99..will come again and try other dishes

This is my first time order at The Sam's Cafe thru Grabfood. I tried their Nasi Goreng Maktok and it was absolutely delicious — fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I love it.

We happen to be around the area. Saw this restaurant but didn’t expect much, as there was no customer at about 7.45pm. Saw google review at 4.4 stars. Told my wife, let’s give it a try. Ordered nasi goreng berapi daging salai and nasi goreng ayam kunyit. Quite a long wait for the 2 dishes. The dishes were superbly delicious, especially the nasi goreng berapi daging salai. Worth the wait. Will return to try out other dishes.

The best nasi lemak in Jb. Along with their warm and home food cooking.

1st tried for their famous buttermilk rice set + ice lemon tea. You just need to add on RM1.99 you can get a cup of lemon tea with full taste, Lemon taste is enough and not too sweet. The buttermilk rice set are spicy to me, but i like the milky taste and the chicken is tender and juicy. Nice.
