From Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak
Crispy anchovies and peanuts add a satisfying crunch, while the sliced cucumber provides a refreshing coolness.
The fried egg is cooked to perfection, and the sambal... OH, THE SAMBAL!
It's like a party in your mouth!
And then, the pièce de résistance: the deep-fried drumstick and the paru (fried beef lung) - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of rich, meaty goodness!
The fluffy coconut rice ties everything together, soaking up all the delicious sauces and flavours.
This Paru Set is a MUST-TRY for any Nasi Lemak lover!
It's a satisfying, joyful, and deliciously crispy experience that will leave you craving for more!

I wanted to try their nasi lemak ($4.50) a few year back. But then I didn't have a chance to do previously. I felt that the rice got fragrant coconut smell, not that bad but peanut and anchovies got crispy and crunchy texture. Fried egg was really hard and overcooked a bit. Fried Chicken got marinated with spices on the skin only and not deep inside but I felt that their chicken was quite soggy already (not that nice tbh). My colleagues he told that chili sauce was quite nice even though I didn't dip chicken into chili sauce.

I'm back after 10 years. I know they've branched out but I still trust the HQ. I have mixed memories of this nasi lemak. When we had it after every Fright Night, it was damn shiok. Other times, it's very ordinary. This visit was no exception. The rice, chicken wing and egg were flat. At least the chilli was still good.

Known for their late closing hours, Power Nasi Lemak never failed to appear on list of result when I search for late night food in Singapore.
