2 Scones 1 Cup is known for their scones (bet you guessed that already), and therefore draws a teatime crowd, but a lesser known fact is that they serve really good nasi lemak. If you're up for a change, order their nasi lemak with fried chicken for just RM8.90. They do it really well — close to what it would be like at hawker stalls. Pairing that up with any one of the selection of teas would be a good idea too.

If you're a vegetarian or vegan who still wants to enjoy the beauty of Malaysia's local delights like nasi lemak, Organica Lifestyle is your jam! Serving quinoa instead of the usual coconut rice (RM29.90), this is definitely a healthier alternative for you including a variety of vegetables and pine nuts instead of peanuts. Their sambal is completely vegan yet still packed with flavours. Fret not, quality and taste are not affected by this change to meat-free ingredients! Order their juice of the day to complete your meal in their comfortable, chilling setting away from the hustle and bustle of Bangsar.

A popular spot for night owls, supper groups and the after-work crowd, the nasi lemak here never ceases to satisfy those cravings that have been driving you up the 'bumbung'. It opens right up till 4.00 a.m. so don't you worry about those late night cravings anymore! You should also expect a speedy service that will bring your nasi lemak from counter to table in no time. Don't forget to order telur mata to add some extra greasy, yolky goodness to your meal ;)

Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock is a kopitiam of modern interior, but thankfully, they serve all the Malaysian classics. Unlike other places that have made tweaks to their food, this place certainly aims to get their basics right! Especially comforting is their nasi lemak (RM9.50), with the fragrance of the coconut rice filling the air, and fiery sambal warming your belly with a piece of chicken fried to perfection. Wash it all down with a teh tarik to complete the meal!

Village Park nasi lemak at Damansara Uptown is certainly no stranger to locals in the area and those who have traveled from afar to try it. Being a favourite spot for families to dine at for breakfast, the environment is the definition of a common ground for people of all ages to gather. Don't miss out on their ginger-y fried chicken (similar to the style of ayam penyet) and telur mata that go perfectly with their nasi lemak (RM9)!

Sweet-ish sambal lovers, look no further. RM4 for a scrumptious plate of nasi lemak with killer, sweet sambal is a deal you can rarely find anywhere else! If you're feeling ravenous, order the set with deep fried chicken, sambal prawns and squid which comes with a refreshing dessert for only RM17.80. Note that this place serves rendang pork (RM8.50) and is hence not halal.

Greenlicious' "Nasi Lemak KL Tower"(RM22.80) aptly describes the tower of rice that you'll be met with. Unlike a typical nasi lemak, this version has seaweed crackers and mushroom fritters as its side dishes. For those who enjoy its flavour, you'll be pleased to see a serving of gorgeously pungent sambal petai. You can also request for a dairy-free version of their nasi lemak if you are vegan!

With a huge serving of rice, sweet sambal prawns and a heap of nasi lemak sambal, there's nothing that can go wrong about this RM5.50 dish. Come here with someone you'd like to have an intimate conversation with as its cosy environment and decoration hit all the right spots to make you feel at home during your dining experience. P.s. do not miss out on their masala tea!
