One of the better mee siam I will ever have.
Original gravy damn good on its own, flavourful
Mix with sambal, a little sweeter and spicier, but still good.
Squeeze Lime on it, mind-blowingly good, the flavours just picks up. 🤯
This takeaway kiosk can find along Arab Street, just the corner close to Zam Zam.
Selling their famous epok epok in few different ingredients such as sardine and potato.
Crusty skin with generous filling inside.
Featured on Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand for their famous nasi padang, this place usually attracts large crowds during lunch time.
Thankfully they have an air-conditioned space for you to enjoy your meal. Lots of dishes to choose from their selections.
I gotten myself the beef rendang, egg, veggie and begedil.
Runned by a mother and daughter, Pak Mandir is a mecca for excellent and affordable nasi lemak in the Yishun area.
There was a really long queue at Pak Mandor even on an early Sunday morning and some of the ingredients like the (legendary) begedil were sold out.
That said, the key to a good nasi lemak is the rice and Pak Mandor's version aced it. Ignoring the artificial looking bright green colour, the coconut and pandan infused rice was soft, fluffy, aromatic and savoury. It's one of the best I have had and all I need is the spicy and savoury samba chilli to go with it and the really really awesome ikan bills which they refuse to sell on its own but was shattering crisp and tasty!
One of the few Malay stalls you can find at this food centre, with a queue usually forms during lunch time by the CBD workers.
Variety of dieshes to choose from. I ordered the lemak curry chicken with fried egg and okra.
Tahu Bagedil (S$12+/ 10 pieces)
Served with Kecap Manis sauce.
Each piece was shaped like a ball, at least the size of a tennis ball. Huge! Thin crispy battered, the bean curd puff was stuffed with mashed potato. Dip into the spicy dark sauce before eating. Super shiok!

Hamidah's Kitchen @ Kaff Kafe
Address 🛖 : 294 Bedok Road,, Singapore 🇸🇬 469450
Open 🕰️ : Tue - Sun : 9.30am - 11pm
Note 📝 : Got 5% service charge
Overpriced and bad. Plus it's run by rude young punks. Let them die a deserving death.
Diced chicken cooked in creamy parmesan sauce. Pasta was al dente and chicken was juicy. Overal taste good, suitable for kids too. Do take note that portion is quite big.
Squid ink curry pasta looks decent but delicious! May not see any chilli but it is very spicy. Nevertheless you can still taste the squid ink eventhough it is spicy. Damn good, highly recommended. Quite big portion.
Bone marrow topped with caviar and garlic bread by the side. First time trying the caviar was a little salty. But great combination of eating the garlic bread with bone marrow.
From Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak
Crispy anchovies and peanuts add a satisfying crunch, while the sliced cucumber provides a refreshing coolness.
The fried egg is cooked to perfection, and the sambal... OH, THE SAMBAL!
It's like a party in your mouth!
And then, the pièce de résistance: the deep-fried drumstick and the paru (fried beef lung) - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of rich, meaty goodness!
The fluffy coconut rice ties everything together, soaking up all the delicious sauces and flavours.
This Paru Set is a MUST-TRY for any Nasi Lemak lover!
It's a satisfying, joyful, and deliciously crispy experience that will leave you craving for more!
