3. Nasi Kukus Nonie Skudai – Jalan Enau 11
Like a tin of sardines, Nasi Kukus Nonie Skudai is PACKED with customers daily. All vying for a taste of their famous nasi kukus. However, a hidden treasure trove of nasi goreng awaits you within this humble shop. Their Nasi Goreng Kampung is a salty, savoury, anchovy-heavy bomb that transports your tastebuds to heaven with its rich unctuousness. And what’s more, their Nasi Goreng Petai has a spicy and twangy kick to it that we absolutely love.
Address: 44, Jalan Enau 11, Taman Teratai, 81300 Skudai, Johor.

4. Restoran Al-Khair – Taman Cendara
For classic, mamak style nasi goreng, we just know that this spot won’t disappoint. Though Restoran Al-Khair is known for their other classic mamak fare, their nasi goreng is a hidden gem. Smoky, savoury, glossy. Their nasi goreng kampung comes with lots of kangkung (water spinach) that’s crunchy and pairs well texturally with the toothsome fried rice. Also give their nasi goreng mamak a try for that nostalgic flavour, and their nasi goreng pattaya for a sinfully fluffy omelette drenched in sweet chilli sauce.
Address: No 27, Jalan Cendana 5/1, Taman Cendana, 81700 Pasir Gudang, Johor.

6. Nasi Goreng Udang Banjir
As the name implies, this spot absolutely floods their nasi goreng with massive prawns. Rather than stir frying the beauties directly into the rice, they serve it on the side, so you can enjoy the satisfying feeling of chowing down into a fat, bulbous prawn. There’s a few options of fried rice that you can get here, but our recommendations are the nasi goreng biasa with prawns and beef, and the nasi goreng kampung with beef. Their nasi goreng is super aromatic, and you can really taste the wok hei within each and every grain of rice. Don’t miss out on their fried chicken either! It’s succulent, crispy, and super flavorful!

A small stall off the side of the road, Warung D’Kampung has sustained itself off the love from locals in the area and their banging fare. Serving up kampung-style cuisine with some elements of classic western, the dishes vary from chicken chops to mee goreng. But the fried rice? My god, it was good. Hitting all the spots is their Nasi Goreng USA. Loaded with the protein you’d typically find in Nasi Goreng USA and stir-fried to perfection, the saucy, savory sauce beautifully coats the fried rice, enhancing its rich flavors. Also give their Nasi Goreng Chicken Chop a try, served with a crispy fried chicken chop, the meaty, unctuous chicken pairs perfectly with the nasi goreng biasa!
