3) Jibril @ SS 15 Subang Jaya
Beyond the façade of the popular Sangkaya ice cream café lies a brick wall that leads to another café. And that café in question is Jibril, which houses a speakeasy bar-style interior and dim lighting. Despite the bar setting, you’ll be surprised it is actually a halal place since they do not serve alcohol. Then, there’s their signature Salted Egg Butter Chicken — crispy and butter-creamy fried chicken with chopped chillies for that added spicy kick. It also helps that the salted egg elevates the taste of the butter chicken, making the dish all the more appetising. They even serve a small bowl of buttermilk sauce on the side, which is best eaten with rice and salad.
