Thoughts: Today is breakfast at Lotus's (formerly Tesco Extra) in Shah Alam Seksyen 13. The rather expensive rm$6.50 basic 馬來烝飯(椰漿飯) Nasi Lemak Kukus with 印度香米 Basmati rice, half a boiled egg, typical 黃瓜片 cucumber slices, 花生 nuts, 江魚仔 ikan bilis (anchovies), and non-spicy 參巴醬 sambal. I like the 印度香米 Basmati rice and 參巴醬 sambal but the price at rm$6.50 is definitely on the high side! The Nasi Lemak stall also offers the Chef's signature 參巴牛肺 Sambal Paru, 參巴牛蝦 Sambal Udang, 香辣炸山羊肉 Kambing Goreng Berempah, and 香辣炸雞肉 Ayam Goreng Berempah.
Chef Hariz (from Johor) who runs the new stall (officially today is the first day) which operates only for breakfast on the weekends, highly recommended his signature "參巴牛肺 Sambal Paru Paru"; again it is rm$5 (slightly expensive for me) BUT I agree his Sambal Cow Lungs dish is pretty tender and tasty. 
"Beriani & Co" is at the new Thailand owned retail chain called "蓮花超市 Lotus's Supermarket" in Shah Alam's Seksyen 13. 蓮花 Lotus's acquired all of 特易購 Tesco's operations (all 62 former Tesco stores in Malaysia) in March 2020. The restaurant Beriani & Co. offers the NEW Nasi Lemak Kukus on weekends only BUT the restaurant's signature are 印度香飯 Nasi Briyani with the signature "Nasi Briani Gam Kambing", Mee Bandung, and Rojak Petis! The restaurant's "印度香飯 Nasi Briyani" do look very delicious.  
Was curious about the "Telur Pindang", and was told a recipe Egg from Johor; but why rm$3 per egg! The "cold" Telur Pindang isn't too different from the Chinese "茶葉蛋 Tea Egg" (大理石蛋 Marbled Eggs), and a typical Chinese Tea Egg is around rm$1.50 to rm$2 in Klang Valley and usually in a boiling pot that is best served as a hot dish.
茶葉蛋 Tea eggs originated in 浙江省 Zhejiang province as a way to preserve foods for a long time but is now found in all provinces. This Chinese savory food is commonly sold as a snack and sometimes is called "大理石蛋 Marble egg", commonly sold by street vendors or in night markets in many Chinese communities throughout the world. While the recipe of the Chinese Tea Egg are basically 香料 spices, 醬油 soy sauce, 八角 Star anise, 肉桂棒 Cinnamon stick, and 紅茶葉 black tea leaves; other similar recipes and variations have been developed throughout Asia! For example, the snack is common in Taiwan 7-Eleven that traditional tea eggs, fruit and other flavored eggs. While in 印度尼西亞 Indonesia and 馬來西亞 Malaysia, it is called "Telur Pindang"; and in Malaysia, the Egg dish is popular in the 柔佛州 state of Johor. As the "Johor-style Tea Egg" recipe is prepared with a variety of spices plus 5-6 types of leafs (Daun Mangis, Daun Jambu batu etc) and requires time and resource-consuming work, and therefore "Telur Pindang" would usually only be served on special occasions such as 馬來婚禮 Malay Weddings.
