The Coconut Club is another recent addition to the MICHELIN family and serves up an atas version of nasi lemak — their Signature French Poulet Leg Nasi Lemak Set comes with all the works, including a large, beautifully browned chicken leg with tender, well-marinated meat (no dryness in sight!).

Ouf, if this picture doesn’t make you salivate you ain’t a real Coconut Club fan. I mean, look at the crispy, oily skin on the chicken and the egg yolk. Simply beautiful.
It might seem silly to pay ~$17 for a plate of Nasi Lemak but it’s one of those, take my money, kind of feelings. This dish is done so well, they are generous with their portions - look at that chicken! And it comes with all the fixings; fried egg, ikan bilis, peanuts, cucumber, and sambal. I like how juicy the chicken is, even the breast meat version of this dish isn’t dry, and it goes really well with their sambal.
We do like to order side dishes as well when we come and on this occasion we got the following: sambal sotong, otah, and fried long beans. Everything was delicious but definitely spicy so be warned. But a good kind of spice where you want to eat more.
I always leave feeling satisfied and full and the service is quick and friendly.
For a long time I felt this was glorified nasi lemak, meant to scam the unaware. Then I heard how good it was and have been trying to visit. I must say, one, it's indeed excellent. But, two, it showed the limits of hawker food, where no matter how good it is, there's a ceiling. The rice was a fragrance bomb. Then there's the chilli, which was rich and addictive. Then there's the ikan bilis, which was like chips. The chicken's sauce was spiced very well, but the rice was still best eaten with the chilli.

It's spiced and therefore a symphony of flavours in my mouth. But that's not unique - this is the style in KL. What's more impressive was the organic bird. It's the most beautiful flesh I think I've eaten. Then there's the rice, which was a fragrance bomb. Then there's the chilli, which was rich and addictive. Then there's the ikan bilis, which was like chips. Everything else was quite normal haha.
I find the nasi lemak nothing special for the price. The sambal and rice is salty. They are not stingy with peanut and ikan bilis. Chicken not that big for the price and lack of flavor. The cucumber is so pathetic, so small that I can’t taste cucumber (they should cut slant for better presentation). Overall is a good nasi lemak but not that special. But I am happy with Staff services and ambiance is nice!
Ordered this and more for a group of 8 😁 In this picture:
⭐️Nasi Lemak Chicken Leg Set ($14.80+)
⭐️Nasi Lemak Fish Set ($13.20+)
⭐️Kacang Panjang (Long beans ($6.50+)
⭐️Terung Assam Manis (Eggplants) ($7+)
⭐️Sambal Sotong ($14+)
⭐️Otak-Otak ($10.50+)
The stars of the night are surprisingly not the nasi lemak but the sambal sotong and otak-otak! Despite both being pricey dishes, they are well worth the price. The sambal sotong is well cooked and the otak-otak is of good quality, filled with chunks of fish.
I find the nasi lemak nothing special, rice is not fragrant and the ingredients are common for this price point. The sambal chilli is super tasty but I won’t come back specially for this. The service staff is friendly and the ambience is lovely - perhaps this is what we are paying more for.
Ordered this to go together with the nasi lemak I had, and this was really good. Sufficiently sweet, spicy, sour, and totally met my expectations.
This was such a good meal! Succulent deep fried chicken leg with ample flavour. The sambal was towards the sweeter side something which I personally prefer but I know others don’t. Coconut rice was fragrant and egg was sunny side up. Crunchy peanuts and anchovies to top off. Other than the hefty price tag, I was happy with everything on the plate. It truly satisfied my cravings for nasi lemak.
Also shoutout to the amazing service there. The staff was so friendly!
Food is good. Belacan is tasty. Coconut rice not as fragrance. Kangkung is in small portion.
