👍 cos fresh ones are kinda hard to find

Sometimes I forget chicken rice exist, but it’s always comfort food

4 dishes @ $5.30
#01-36 D'Authentic Nasi Lemak

Came at 12+ and there's not that many dishes left, so I had the chicken wing, curry veg, begedil, and peanuts and ikan bilis. The only dish I didn't have was the sunny side up.

Everything on the plate was perfect. The rice was soft and super fragrant on its own with a good amount of coconut milk taste but not super overpowering. It tastes even better in their curry sauce. The chicken wing was crispy on the outside while the meat is soft and tender and juicy and flavourful.

The veggie, begedil and peanuts and ikan bilis were all good, though nothing amazing.

Happy that I got to try this!

Bland dumplings that seemed to suffer from freezer burn and an underseasoned chilli oil meant this dish was seriously lacking in flavour. Disappointing since this stall in Marine Parade Food Centre selling China cuisine looked popular and promising.

$4, the noodles are silky smooth and slightly firm (the way I love it), but by end of the meal have softened slightly. the soup is extremely tasty. it's sweet and full of the tomato flavour, and is rich enough that it coats the noodles even as you eat the noodles dry on its own (vs in a spoon of soup). the egg is also fried separately such that it retains its fried and slightly wok hei taste, which differs from your typical ban mian egg which is more like an egg drop soup style of egg.

From Beancurdlism $1.20 for this awesome cup of soya bean drink.
Not bad.
