Does this Nasi Lemak Joint look familiar to you?


It will be for those who follow stalk Kennysia's blog. After spending an evening with K and S cycling in East Coast Park (very very Enhanced version of Danga Bay. Highly recommended for people into extreme sports or sports in general.), we decided to make a random trip to the other end of Singapore to try out quote unquote "The best Nasi Lemak I've ever tasted (Sia, 2008). LOL.

The shop is situated near Kovan MRT. (Very very helpful Singaporeans gladly gave us directions and Bus instructions. I will be eternally grateful.)

To my surprise, the shop people were a grumpy bunch. Except for the Uncle who calculated my food. He said 'thank you'. But Okay la. Considering it's already 9-ish at night, they were probably exhausted from a day's work.

Well, if you've read Kenny Sia's verdict. Now read mine. X)




It's very packed. It's a no brainer. Nothing attracts more people like good food! We lined up patiently eager to try what they have to offer but sadly we were a tad bit too late. They ran out of Sambal sotong. :(



As you can see it's like Nasi Campur style. They give you the nasi, you take what you think goes well with it.

Well I had this. Stir-fry Brinjal, some Sambal, Fried Chicken, Achar and Otak with the usual cucumber and kacang/ikan bilis. And this cost me SGD $4.80. (Exchange rate 2.35, you do the math) The Drink uncle was really really rude. =.= Boycott.

MUST MUST TRY the Achar (OMG) and Otak (orgasmic), the brinjal is awesome too. As you can see the serving is VERY small but pretty satisfying. But if you were starving, you gotta pay double the amount. Big portions would've been really not helpful. (eq: Lemak + Big portion = Obesity.) You get the drift.

Overall it's pretty different from the Nasi Lemak in Malaysia.

This is a pastiche/hybrid/inauthentic different. It's not everyday you get to eat Nasi Lemak with Luncheon meat (which frikkin ran out after the guy in front of me took it wtfwtfwtf).


My ratings. I would think it deserves an 7. (8-1 for grumpy aunty hurrying me to make up my mind)

Mark my words. I will have my luncheon meat. Dang it.
