REALLY GOOD
1st BKK NASI LEMAK ORIGINAL
Bungkus Kaw Kaw @ Lotus Kepong Mall, Kuala Lumpur
My 3rd packet (the second was had the previous night in the dark) on this trip. 😋
2nd BKK NASI LEMAK ORIGINAL
Bungkus Kaw Kaw @ Publika Shopping Gallery, KL, Kuala Lumpur
I nearly forgot to photograph my first BKK meal for this trip!
3rd NASI LEMAK AYAM GORENG BEREMPAH
Bazar Ramadan TTDI, Kuala Lumpur
Chicken wings marinated fried with a fragrant and even tastier combination of coconut, herbs and spices.
5th BKK NASI LEMAK ORIGINAL
Bungkus Kaw Kaw @ The Curve, Petaling Jaya
The most basic form of nasi lemak which is also my favorite form of the dish. We don’t need any extraneous items like a whopping fried chicken thigh or a rich meat dish like rendang to distract from the symphony of flavors in the coconut-pandan infused rice, the moerish sambal and the fragrant fried mix of peanuts and anchovies. No siree Bob, none of that protein nonsense!
6th NASI LEMAK AYAM GORENG BEREMPAH
Walaku - Nasi Lemak Kukus, Singapore
One of the better Nasi Lemaks I’ve had in SG. Minus the stale cuke.
7th NASI LEMAK AYAM GORENG
Rusnah Cafe, Singapore
Had to return after a great first experience last week. Had planned to get their Monday special (ayam penyet) but it wasn’t going to be available till noon, so Nasi Lemak it was.
PRETTY GOOD
8th NASI LEMAK (COCONUT RICE) 椰浆饭
Tea Garden Bukit Indah, Johor Bahru
The sambal is too sweet for me. Otherwise, it’s passable.
9th NASI LEMAK RENDANG AYAM
Wondermama, Petaling Jaya
Coconut rice served with baby shrimp sambal petai, stir-fried kangkung, hard-boiled egg & deep-fried ikan bilis. Served with fragrant, fork-tender chicken rendang.
11th CRISPY CHICKEN LUNCH BOX
Lee Wee & Brothers, Singapore
Crispy chicken, fish otah, coconut rice, fish cake, sambal chilli, ikan bilis & peanuts.
13th BUAH KELUAK NASI LEMAK
STREAT at the Singapore Food Festival 2017, Singapore 049326
I dunno where the line between nasi lemak ends, but it felt iffy with this one.
14th NASI LEMAK LOBSTER MERANGKAK
RESTORAN NASI LEMAK LOBSTER JB, Malaysia
Thoroughly decent Nasi Lemak. Not sure the lobster added much to it though because it was kind of dry.
JUST OK
16th NASI LEMAK OTAK SET
Changi Famous Nasi Lemak, Singapore
The overly tart sambal did it in. For me.
