The nasi lemak ayam cabe ijo ($5.90) is quite decently priced for the large chicken leg given. I am interested to give their signature dish, the nasi lemak ayam taliwang a try on my next visit!
Just the other day, I was watching a video of a stand-up comedy by a Malaysian and she brought up that the nasi lemak we have in Singapore i...
To my surprise, it wasn't as spicy nor as sweet as I had imagined it to be, making it kinda pleasant to eat.
The mutton meat and ribs were just slightly gamey, fragrant and seriously fall off the bone tender, but with that bit of nice chewiness. The ribs had that slight bit of fattiness for additional flavour and texture. Good stuff, just a bit gentler and probably less oily than the sup kambing I remember from Commonwealth Drive.

Brain, tongue or penis in your soup? We don’t usually associate these parts with food, but at Haji M Abdul Razak, these dishes are what keeps people coming b...
All in all, we enjoyed both cakes a lot even though they were a tad too sweet so if you’re here with your friends, get a few slices to share otherwise it can get really sickly after a while.
I did find the prices a bit exorbitant, but a percentage of their sales goes to Muhammadiyah Home Welfare.
Totally packed, even with reservations we still had to wait for a table
Michelle pledged to drive over with more makan kaki when she returns from her Scandinavian tour. Driving, feasting and feeding her wanderlust – the line between work and play is enviably fuzzy for her. I remarked to Michelle that her passions have truly taken her the delicious distance.
A decent plate of Malaysian-style Nasi Lemak to try in McNair Road within a modern looking coffeeshop. It is more expensive than what you get at hawker centres, but it makes up for its finer presentation and portion. You also get to try old school flavour laksa from Laksa Labo within the same coffeeshop.
The ayam berempah quite fragrant, tender inside and crispy outside, but the leg was slightly unmeaty and pink. The rice was lightly fragrant of coconut and pandan, fluffy and moist, and the sambal was really spicy and had a real kick. The eggs, ikan bilis and nuts was average. Overall above average, but I won’t crave it.
Worthy of his one precious meal for the day. Taking my cue from Vincent’s rule for recommendations, that’s when I sent a photo of our meal to several group chats on my phone.
If I am craving for a good Nasi Ayam, this will be one of my choice in Singapore.
We love the taste and texture of the marinated chicken meat.
Sambal goreng was generally a failsafe with rice. This one seemed to taste a little different from the last time we ordered it though. Still delicious.
The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable.Be prepared to have a feast if you are visiting Hjh Maimunah Restaurant.
This should be a familiar name to the Muslim community in Singapore, as the restaurant was established since the early 1990s.
I love eating food that was grilled over fire despite numerous claims of them being carcinogenic, and one of my favorites would be satay! S...
My current go to place for Hainanese pork satay in Singapore. They are located in a quiet corner of the Food Centre where there are a few hipster beer stalls as well!
The satay was tender, smoky, sweet and savoury, and full of spices. This was a good rendition of Chinese satay, with the pork satay offering some fatty bits for juice and fragrance.
Julaiha Muslim Restaurant is an Indian-Muslim eatery located along Macpherson road. They are open 24/7 so this makes a good supper spot to go if you're nearby! They are located somewhat in the middle of Tai Seng and Macpherson MRT station.
The prata was fresh, unoily and carried with it a nice doughy fragrance, although it had only the faintest crisp. Nice, but I’m not sure that it is Food King Good.
I will be back for the prata and, of cause, the Indian rojak!
Pretty impressed by how they got the crisp on that meaty chicken drumstick while retaining sufficient moisture in the meat that it could almost be called juicy.
Any time is a good time for Ponggol Nasi Lemak. And now that they have a cafe at Capitol Piazza, it’s good to be in the area and eat it.
It's almost the same stuff as I got previously topped up with an additional fried chicken wing and extra rice.
The Original Katong Laksa - Janggut Laksa
This is perhaps the only laksa stall I will frequent in Katong. It is good, affordable and one of the best around in Singapore.
Nice curry laksa with robust savoury flavours balanced with coconut milk sweetness and gentle spicy heat.
Juwanda’s maternal grandparents were once mee rebus street hawkers, so his family really appreciates quality when they taste it. At Afandi Hawa and Family, their mee rebus is the real stuff, made from a good meaty stock thickened with sweet potatoes.
Nice soft noodles served with tender beancurd with crispy skin, bathed in a balanced and flavourful sauce, with some sweetness, fermented soy bean flavour, and apparently made with prawn, flower crab, mutton, turmeric and potato puree etc.
The Mee Soto is my personal favourite. A savoury Chicken broth best served piping hot - it gets too salty when cooled.
The ngoh hiong was clearly homemade, tasty and savoury with various ingredients and waterchestnut within, although I felt that the fillings was too evenly ground up. The sotong was tender yet qq, cooked in a potent and fragrant sambal. Definitely worth coming back again to try the other dishes.
Our final dish of lor bak was saved for another meal. We had too much pork for one day!
The simple, traditional dishes at The Curry Wok is something I will be back for, especially when I am yearning for some comfort food.
Fried chicken wing is one of my favorite ingredients to have in nasi lemak but sadly, the one I had is scrawny and the texture on the drier side. The only consolation is the crispy batter that goes crunch with every bite.
This has got to be the cheapest epok epok I have ever bought considering the size is quite a decent one.
Residents in Yishun should be familiar with Pak Mandor Nasi Lemak at Yishun Street 61. Not only is the nasi lemak popular in the neighbourhood, it is also delicious and value for money.
Definitely one of a must try Nasi Padang in Singapore. Cheers!!
we had a really lovely dinner and of course rounded up with chendol.
The furniture and the flooring are very much the same, but the current food display seems to be smaller than the previous one. They still have the coin operated weighing scale!
I do recommended to visit the stall for Malaysia style nasi lemak if you craving for one. This is certainly different from Singaporean version. Strong and umami flavours that gives you a sense of home and familiarity I guess.
The chicken drumstick was of the flavourful Malay style – coated with spices such as lemongrass and ginger and aromatic, fragrant and salty – much like the one at The Coconut Club. What was amazing was how perfectly the chicken drumstick was fried, crispy outside and perfectly cooked and moist and juicy inside. 8/10.
Uptown Nasi Lemak is certainly something different from our Singaporean nasi lemak. If you love nasi lemak, this is definitely worth a try!
Since there are several well-known nasi lemak stalls in Changi village, including Changi Famous Nasi Lemak, International Nasi Lemak, and Mizzy Corner, I believe that many people associate Changi village with nasi lemak.
Very enjoyable. Many of the items that were included in the platter were made to go well with rice.
Rice is fairly similar to "Famous Nasi Lemak"
Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong with nasi Padang in general. These spices and myriads of textures and flavours always hit all the right spots.
Yup there’s rice under there and I love this mess!
Overall, their nasi lemak felt a tad overhyped and as a non-Westie, I personally would not find it worth travelling deep into the West for.
The nasi lemak was fragrant, but slightly sticky and clumpy. The chicken wing was slightly fragrant and aromatic. Above average nasi lemak. Serious queue though.
We’re pretty sure some residents living nearby are already loyal fans, but if you happen to be in the West next time, you might wanna give this place a shot!
The chefs and stall assistants are very friendly!
Admittedly, I wouldn’t recommend Easties to come here simply ‘cause the travel journey and cost far outweigh the price of the dishes.
The nasi lemak was quite good. The rice was fragrant, and of the soft, fluffy, and slightly moist variety. The sambal was spicy and had kick. The chicken wing was flavouful, with crispy skin and moist flesh. The otah had a punchy flavour. Almost everything was good.
The standard of the food here is pretty good to be honest, and I’ll say that Tree Coconut is definitely worth a try.
Charlene stated their interest in expanding to other places, so perhaps we’ll see more of Tree Coconut in the future.
