WHY JIBRIL?
“The story behind the name ‘JIBRIL’ is VERY personal, emotional and historic”
The name JIBRIL might be familiar to many Malaysians, but the true origin story behind the restaurant’s name is so much more personal, emotional and historic. The founders of JIBRIL were UiTM Law Students.
In UiTM Law School, there’s an annual theatre event called UiTM Mock Trial, where the law students organise a theatre play to showcase how a legal case would play out in a court. In 2013, the Mock Trial is written, directed & acted by the founder(s). The Mock Trial in 2013 was called… you guessed it, JIBRIL.
JIBRIL (Jibril Azym) is a story about a sophisticated autistic lawyer with an intelligent mind, where he can read minds and solve cases in unconventional ways. When we started the restaurant business in 2015, we envision this is the kind of restaurant where JIBRIL will hang out at. Sophisticated, unconventional, yet accessible.
History of jibril
“Flavour meets value — finally!”
Founded in 2015 by four university students, we focus on delivering sophisticated dining experience to the mass market. We see the big problem — food is either too expensive when it’s good, or its taste is subpar when it’s cheap.
JIBRIL Restaurant Group is founded to fill that gap, a well-decorated speakeasy restaurant, food and beverages that are addictive, yet affordable to the mass market.
Hidangan yang sangat creamy dan buttery tetapi tak muak walaupun makan banyak korang. Ayam pun banyak di dalam menu makan bersama dengan nasi panas panas. Memang ngam habis korang! Recommend 10/10 untuk menu ini.
Ni pun salah satu menu yang korang kena try, sebab nasi lemak ni ada ayam, udang dengan sotong sekali. 3 in 1 tau ! Dia punya lauk tu disalut dengan butter dipasangkan pula dengan nasi lemak dia pedas so memang mantap gandingan dua ni. Rasa balance antara manis, masin dengan pedas.
It goes without saying that a dish you must sample is the Salted Egg Butter Chicken (RM17.90 for regular, RM15.90 for small). To attain the distinctive crispiness, the chicken undergoes triple frying till it reaches perfection. Drenched in the signature salted egg butter sauce, you’ll quickly understand why patrons rave about this spot.
Walaupun menu ini kelihatan ringkas, gabungan sotong, ayam dan udang dengan saiz hidangan yang agak besar cukup memberikan rasa kenyang.
Untuk pelanggan yang mahu menikmati masakan Barat, hidangan butter chicken chop pasta perlu dicuba.
I’ll say this now – and again and again… this dish blew my socks off! Like, dude, the combination of sambal with butter was the best thing I’ve tasted. I could taste the spiciness from the sambal, the sweetness from the butter and the most important thing, the crispiness of the chicken. And the meal was still hot! Consider it my new favourite now.
Baru-baru ini, saya berkunjung ke Jibril Malaysia dan mencuba beberapa hidangan yang sangat menarik. Salah satu yang paling saya suka adalah Salted Egg Butter Chicken. Sosnya yang kaya dan lembut menyelubungi ayam yang empuk, menjadikannya hidangan yang sangat menggoda. Saya juga tidak boleh lupa BBQ Chicken Wings. Rasa asapnya yang kuat dan dagingnya yang juicy membuat saya teringin lagi.
And if you can’t get enough of them, grab its Hot Chilli Clam served with crispy yet soft mantao buns, or Nasi Lemak Butter Combo! It has salted egg butter chicken, squid and prawn fully coated in its signature sambal that is satisfyingly addictive!
The salted egg butter chicken was really tasty but not jelat. Their sauce actually isn’t as heart-attack inducing as I personally would have liked (but that’s kind of the devil of what I like eating showing more than anything), but nonetheless, super yummy!
