[CLOSED] Lawa Bintang (Bedok)

Made it to Lawa Bintang finally to try the lobster Nasi Lemak and it was worth it! Visited for dinner around 7.30 and almost all the tables were occupied with at least one plate of lobster Nasi Lemak on the table - that’s indeed how good this dish is. It is on the pricey side for Nasi Lemak, but the lobster and cheese sauce spooned over it are just mind blowing. The long grain basmati rice was extremely lemak and fragrant too, and ultra yummy when paired with the sambal chilli which wasn’t too sweet. Might be nicer if it was spicier but I guess more people can enjoy it this way.

I added on a chicken wing but didn’t like it. The batter didn’t fully coat the chicken wing and it wasn’t crispy. So skip the chicken wing and just go with the lobster Nasi Lemak or mee siam (which my mom tried and said was awesome)!

Fast forward a few years, while thinking where to bring my family to eat after a fast walk around bedok reservoir, this was naturally the place which came up on my list since it was less than 5 mins car ride away and it is slightly out of the way by public transport and we wouldn't otherwise visit this place. There were moderate lines on a late sat morning. It seemed that most things were sold out / not ready yet? There was no otah ($1) or begedil etc available. We could only get this standard chicken wing set ($3). On first glance, the portion seemed to be too little? But it turned out to be a just nice portion. This time round, I loved everything about this nasi lemak. From the fragrant fluffy white rice to the sweet but at the same time spicy sambal chilli, to the ikan billis with fried bits and finally the best item of the dish - the marinated fried chicken wing with seasoning powder (which reminds me abit of maggi mee snack's seasoning)! Family also had good positive reviews for this place!
