Review: Hjh Mariam Cafe @ 743 North Bridge Road
A visit was made on Friday, 12 January 2021 at 12.15pm.
This was the first visit to their new (second) outlet at North Bridge Road. Because this is a shophouse premise, the cafe has more freedom to decorate and create concepts (as opposed to the outlet at Westgate), though I do miss the TV playing black and white movies. Order was made for Giant Nasi Ambeng ($50 or $66 for the 'upgraded version') that can easily satisfy 5 pax. You got generous portion of chicken, meat and many around the sides. Having tried numerous Nasi Ambeng, I have to say that the one served by Hjh Mariam Cafe is still the best, unbeatable. The quality is consistent and price remain reasonable.
Branding and Customer Experience
Hjh Mariam Cafe has been around for many years and the second outlet is a testimony of their growth and market reception. The name ranked right at the top of establishments serving Nasi Ambeng specialty. I have been a regular at their Westgate first outlet and its the one Malay dishes makan place that every member of my family loves. The only glitch I experienced in this visit was having to go down to the first floor (we were dining on the second floor) just to order 1 extra plate of white rice. The crew should be able to do that for diners as leaving your table with your fingers gravy covered to walk down the stairs for a $1.05 (after spending more than $60) makes the customer service 1 point short of a perfect score. Otherwise all is good. The different concepts with all the decors will keep your group dining experience memorable.
