Halal Food in Mr Grumpy Nasi Ayam (Lucky Plaza Nasi Ayam Goreng)

Mister Grumpy Fried Chicken by Fiie Cafe at Lucky Plaza Unit 06-52, 304 Orchard Road in Singapore 238863 represents the original outlet that sparked a citywide phenomenon. Operating from 10:30am to 5:30pm daily except Sundays, or until sold out, this Muslim-owned halal establishment has become famous for its signature Nasi Ayam Goreng and the curmudgeonly personality of its owner, which has inadvertently generated countless social media articles and TikTok videos. The menu focuses almost exclusively on the signature Nasi Ayam where deep-fried chicken is served with fragrant rice, accompanied by the usual chicken rice chilli plus a house-special sambal that sets it apart from standard chicken rice offerings. The simplicity of the offering proves strategic, allowing the kitchen to perfect this single dish rather than diluting quality across multiple menu items. The crispy, well-marinated chicken delivers on both texture and flavour, drawing mass appeal across different races and age groups who make the journey to this sixth-floor Orchard location. The success of the Lucky Plaza original has driven expansion to multiple outlets including Toa Payoh, Holland Drive, Woodlands, Bedok, and Tampines, all operating from 11am to 8pm daily or until sold out. Despite the expansion, the Lucky Plaza outlet maintains its status as the birthplace of the Mr Grumpy phenomenon, where the owner blunt demeanor and exceptional fried chicken created an unlikely success story. The location in the heart of Orchard Road shopping district makes it accessible to both office workers and shoppers seeking halal dining options in a retail-heavy area.
