There has been some talk recently about the newly-opened D’Raub Ayam Berempah that is situated within the Fu Chan coffeeshop situated at Blk 139 Tampines Street 11 within the same vicinity as Tampines Round Market & Food Centre; this would be the same coffeeshop that houses an outlet of Three Meals a Day (一日三餐）as well. Despite its namesake mentioning Ayam Berempah, D’Raub Ayam Berempah is more of a Nasi Lemak stall at heart — there is however a heavy emphasis on serving up their Nasi Lemak with Ayam
Berempah however, with patrons being able to opt between chicken thigh and chicken wings. All that being said, there is also the option to add-on other sides which are prominently displayed in the display case at the counter as well.

We opted for the L-Shape Chicken Thigh Set and the default elements that came along with it are pretty much what one would expect out of a Nasi Lemak dish; this includes the coconut-infused rice, anchovies and peanuts, sambal chili, sunny side-up and slices of cucumbers. For our order, we did request for the add-on of the Begedil, while the folks behind the counter added a complimentary serving of curry vegetables which they claim to be their best-selling item. We did find that the Ayam Berempah was decent here; topped of with Serunding and also some wok-fried curry leaves that adds a crisp texture with a slight hint of fragrance for aromatics — we were glad that they do heat the Ayam Berempah up upon order. Whilst the marination does feel a little bit on the simpler side, the chicken does seem reasonably juicy. It seems like D’Raub Ayam Berempah does use typical rice grains for their rendition of their Nasi Lemak — there is a soft fragrance of coconut milk that lingers at the back of the tongue, while the sambal chili adds a hint of sweetness without being particularly spicy here. The highlight for us here was definitely the curry vegetables however — the vegetables were stewed to a soft texture, whilst the curry gravy was nothing short of being creamy and Lemak with a nice hint of curry fragrance with just a slight tinge of spiciness to the tickle the tastebuds. Sunny side-up comes with a fully-cooked egg yolk, while the anchovies does come slightly salted and still crisp despite us dropping by the stall only during weekday dinner service in the evening.
