Nasi Lemak tasted OK, definitely not among the best in Singapore. Rice could be more moist, chicken more succulent, chilli more fragrant, egg yolk runnier, peanuts and ikan bilis crispier and cucumber thinner. Still worth a try for tourists while in Lau Pa Sat.

Incredible food with affordable price. My kids are very difficult with food in general, but they absolutely loved it here!! Great service and very friendly staff! I asked for a takeout box which usually costs 30 cents, but I didnt have …

The food and service was amazing, they accommodated to my allergies and gave amazing recommendations of what to eat. I got the quarter leg curry rice, the chicken was crispy and the rice was fragrant. Malie also gave me a free potato cake with my meal. I cannot recommend this place enough. I will definitely be coming again.

Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang was so good! Love the sambal that is not so spicy. The condiments compliments each other so well. Rice is fragrant, chicken is packed with flavours. A must try in Lau Pa Sat. Clean environment and fast service. Definitely highly recommended. A must try.
