They ran out of fried chicken. A big plate, although not cheap for hawker centre. Almost $10 with egg. The chicken was passable, while runny yolk and sambal always make rice shiok. The rice is gimmicky since blue pea has no taste. So are the shredded coconut and raw greens.
Baby shrimp crackers, chicken wing, egg. My first time with the crackers. Very interesting albeit basic. It's a paper-thin cracker with hae bi, instead of prawns.

I don't like the puff pastry variety unfortunately hahaha.
Runned by a mother and daughter, Pak Mandir is a mecca for excellent and affordable nasi lemak in the Yishun area.
There was a really long queue at Pak Mandor even on an early Sunday morning and some of the ingredients like the (legendary) begedil were sold out.
That said, the key to a good nasi lemak is the rice and Pak Mandor's version aced it. Ignoring the artificial looking bright green colour, the coconut and pandan infused rice was soft, fluffy, aromatic and savoury. It's one of the best I have had and all I need is the spicy and savoury samba chilli to go with it and the really really awesome ikan bills which they refuse to sell on its own but was shattering crisp and tasty!
Chicken wing, French beans, egg. Good as usual.
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!
Quite satisfying, especially the chicken wing and chilli, but the rice had no lemak.
Curry chicken bun (S$1.70)
This nasi lemak stall is well known among the residents around, and usually a queue in the morning as everyone grabbing their breakfast.
You can choose from any of the dishes display there to complete your meal. I like their fried chicken and of course the chilli.
Basic not just for the stuff I ordered, but for the quality. Quite disappointed. I expect more from Malay nasi lemak.
Very affordable food here at this branch. Less crowded too.
