SeChangkir's Sarawak-born founders take legitimate pride in their produce and their recipes; nasi lemak (RM17) is made here with Adan rice from the highlands of Borneo, specifically the paddy fields of the Ba'kelalan settlement, which is home to the indigenous Lun Bawang community.
SeChangkir is run by family members from the Lun Bawang and Kelabit tribes, and they try to honour their heritage while catering to KL's consumer market of Taman Tun Dr Ismail. The Adan rice for the nasi lemak and nasi goreng is noteworthy, cultivated through traditional methods with fresh, clean water in a cool climate. The result is rice that tastes wholesome, with a pleasant purity of texture.
You'll also find a satisfactory Sarawak laksa here, with well-balanced nuances (RM16). Even the Western-inspired offerings showcase the kitchen's commitment to hard, honest work - the signature burger boasts a beef patty, tomato jam and bun that are all house-made every morning (RM25).
