For Nasi Lemak Daging Rendang
Nasi Lemak at a Mee Rebus place? For real? Yes, for real. The new Mee Rebus house outlet in Sunway Iskandar now serves up a wider variety of food and drinks, which now also include Nasi Lemak. Try their beef rendang nasi lemak (RM11.90) which sports incredibly spicy and tender beef, paired with a traditional tasting sambal.

For Nasi Lemak Otak Otak
This dish is influenced by the Bugis style of making nasi lemak, with the inclusion of fenugreek into the coconut rice. At RM7.90 this plate is truly a bargain, with otak otak, and a delectable sambal, that is not too spicy.

For Nasi Lemak Lobster
If you're looking to splurge, this is the place. There are two types of lobsters to choose from, the local spiny lobster (RM88 for XL) or the large Maine lobster (RM98 for XL). Either way you'll be greeted with a massive crustacean atop your basic Nasi Lemak, or if you would fancy something less shelled-out, they have a myriad of seafood including grilled squid or Salmon (RM29 each).

For A D.I.Y Nasi Lemak
This stall is legendary with locals, as it's the go to breakfast and lunch spot for government servants working around the city area. The food here is self service, so you can expect to be scooping your own rice, sambal, peanuts and anchovies. An average plate of Nasi Lemak with egg is RM5, and we recommend adding on the myriad of dishes they have on display for the day. Items like their curries, Ikan bakar and raw vegetables are perfect to make a complete meal.
