The food is great, but in terms of service, there's a Chinese auntie I'm generally dissatisfied with. I prefer my eggs to be well-cooked. However, whenever she's the one taking orders, she seems unhappy and serves me eggs that aren't quite well-cooked. There was even an instance where she didn't relay my order to the staff because she claimed they had run out. But she could relay my requests, couldn't she? I don't experience this with other staff, only her. So these days, when I notice she's managing the cashier, I tend to avoid her stall and buy from others instead.

$5.50 for lunch. You could say it's one of the cheapest in the CBD (Central Business District), but the amount of ingredients given is really... *shakes head*. I wanted to try the set meal, but most customers here order à la carte, so I followed suit. The price of the set meal is about the same as ordering individually; I guess it just makes the queue move faster if you order the set meal.

An okay rendition of nasi lemak at Old Airport Road food centre.
Quantity is a bit disappointing -
An okay rendition of nasi lemak at Old Airport Road Food Centre. The quantity was a bit disappointing, with only 3 small pieces of fried chicken. The rice didn't seem fresh, and the fried egg was just okay. The sambal was also just okay.

I saw a few people eating Nasi Lemak and also noticed a queue at the stall, so I assumed it must be good and promptly joined the queue. I wanted to order the Chicken Katsudon set, but it was sold out, so I ended up ordering the Otah set instead. The Nasi Lemak was okay but didn't quite live up to my expectations. The Otah had room for improvement as it was pretty tasteless. However, the rice and chili were acceptable. Overall, it was an average Nasi Lemak at a reasonable price.

Reasonably priced nasi lemak at an air-conditioned food court. The stall offers a variety of chicken and other dishes for add-ons. I ordered the rendang and rempah chicken; both were tasty and the service was efficient too!

New shop located at Hong Leong Basement! At $7.40, this is slightly pricey but understandable given the location. The rice was fragrant and there were no complaints overall. Will definitely return again!

First try, definitely not going to be my last.
Today no long queue when I visited.
Had the chicken
First try, and definitely not my last.
Today, there was no long queue when I visited. I had the chicken wing set and added bergedil and luncheon meat.
The rice wasn't very rich in flavour, but it was still fragrant. The chilli is the sweet and spicy type; you can make it spicier by taking more. It goes really well with the rice.
The ingredients were great too, I really liked the chicken wing. It's different from Eng Kee's, probably because this is halal.
Will revisit.
Update on revisit:
Had the chicken wing set again this time, and added luncheon meat, hashbrown, and rendang chicken.
The rendang tasted good, and the chicken was still moist inside. I liked the way the hashbrown was fried; it was really crispy on the outside.
The rice and chilli were consistently good.

Finally got to try this brand's nasi lemak. It was very nice to have curry gravy over the nasi lemak, and not an overdose. The staff were also very generous with a big portion of chilli. I finished all the nasi except the peanuts. I never like to eat peanuts with skins unless they are steamed ones.

Ordered their Chicken Wing Set ($4) and added cabbage ($0.90), totaling $4.90. Using the FP app gave me a 10% discount. For me, the most important ingredients for nasi lemak are the coconuty rice and the chilli. Their rice had the coconuty taste but was too wet. As for the chilli, it was just nice and the spiciness was also good. The rest of the ingredients, like the fried chicken and ikan bilis, were not bad. The egg was normal. Overall, I would give it 3.8/5 for the price. Kudos to the food handlers for wearing masks and upholding hygiene.
