[CLOSED] CRAVE Nasi Lemak (Changi Airport Terminal 2)

I was really looking forward to this, but the cutlet looked nothing like the one I ate last month. The first bite confirmed it was different. I went to the counter to ask, and they said they have changed it. This one was dry and tasted like a patty more than fresh meat.

The Otah was $3 for any two. I got the Nonya one and the spicy Thai Otah. To be honest I couldn’t really differentiate the two. But both were delicious! Chicken wing was unbelievably crispy. But what I really love was the cutlet. At $2.50, it wasn’t cheap, but it was divine. Very crispy and the meat was juicy and tender. Unfortunately, they have changed it now. To a horrible dry thing that tasted like it was from the frozen section in a supermarket. I was appalled.

I wasn’t expecting much but this beef rendang could beat the ones from some restaurants. It was pretty spicy, and the gravy was so thick and flavorful. Not oily. The chili sauce was of cos the best. I could eat another bowl of rice just mixing in this fabulous chili.

The chicken wing is so good but had a hard time eating cos of the plastic utensils. What a bummer!

Never Liked Airplane Food. NEVER. So Each Time We Landed, I Always Search For Something To Fill My Tummy. This Time, Its Crave’s Name Lemak With Its Oh So Spicy Sambal 😍

They used basmati rice which makes for such a light and fluffy staple to tuck in to.

The ikan bills were also flaking crispy while the sambal was sticky and sweet. Could have preferred not having all that many seeds in the sambal blend or maybe it could be spicier and more piquant.

But I overall enjoyed it. The rice was an okay lemak, haha this definitely helped.

Begedil ($1.20) was also a potato cake that definitely had some curry seasoning involved too. Interestingly different from what we usually have.

The drawback however is that the chicken wing was pretty cold and nothing memorable.. I thought the juicy chicken cutlet might just have been more tasty with the heavy handed garlic marinate

Go for the cutlet!
