We ventured into a newly established eatery by the name of Nasi Lemak Bamboo, located at Lintas Square. It is easily spotted while driving by - the striking vibrant green and white hue and its kampung-styled bamboo walls are hard to miss. This isn't your typical nasi lemak place. Imagine a Malaysian that lives overseas that has opened a nasi lemak restaurant. This is what the restaurant feels like.
