Reban by Sinisana Chicken Farm, Aman Suria

Fly the coop to Aman Suria’s new Reban, where roast chicken rules the roost, air-dried for 12 hours, with legs roasted to order for freshly crackly skin.

Reban’s Nasi Ayam Kulit Naga features smooth-fleshed, tender-bodied meat with fragrant rice and sharply zesty lime chilli sauce.

Reban’s chicken is antibiotic-free, raised in Ijok’s Sinisana Farm. Claypot chicken rice is also available.

The Brewtalist's house coffee is intense, a medium-roast Brazil-Colombia blend that begins bitter before cascading into chocolaty nuttiness, a promising pairing with pastries.

Brewtalist Coffee
G-38, Jalan 8/35, Taman Seri Bangi, Seksyen 8 Bandar Baru Bangi, Bangi, Selangor.
Open Monday to Saturday, 4pm-12am.
