Crave Nasi Lemak has established itself as Singapore's beloved halal-certified chain, bringing the renowned flavours of The Original Adam Road Nasi Lemak by Selera Rasa to food lovers across the island. With 43 locations spanning popular malls like NEX, Bedok Mall, Jurong Point, and Junction 8, this restaurant has gained recognition from notable figures including PM Lee, the Sultan of Brunei, and the President of Indonesia, cementing its reputation as a must-visit destination for authentic Malaysian cuisine.
What sets Crave apart is their innovative approach to the traditional nasi lemak, featuring fragrant basmati rice instead of conventional short-grain rice. The long basmati grains create a light, fluffy texture with a delicate coconut milk fragrance that perfectly absorbs the accompanying flavours without becoming clumpy. Their signature sambal chili, crafted with both Indian and Japanese chilies, strikes an ideal balance between sweet and spicy, making it accessible even to those with lower spice tolerance while delivering authentic bold flavours.
The menu showcases signature dishes like the 2-piece Spicy Chicken Wings Nasi Lemak and Nasi Lemak Royale, complemented by traditional sides including beef rendang, curry chicken, otah, and sayur lodeh. With affordable pricing ranging from -0 per dish and convenient delivery options through GrabFood, Foodpanda, and Deliveroo, Crave successfully combines traditional Malaysian heritage with modern convenience and accessibility.

The staff ignored us when our food was ready. The staff went around doing his own work while we had to wait for more than 10 minutes to get the order from him. He didn't even bother telling us to wait. Crave outlet at NUH.

Scam place. Ordered the Nasi Lemak Jewel, but they didn't include the fish fillet and potato. Messed up. Paid $15 and only got $8 worth of food.

The queue was fast but crowded during lunchtime. I ordered the chicken wing, which was crispy. The basmati rice was special but fine. However, the chilli was a bit too sweet for my liking. It's good to try this as a meal, but not enough to wow me into converting from the classic coconut Nasi Lemak.

The staff used the same hand/glove that touched the kiosk screen to grab the food. The chicken wing and egg were so dry, obviously reheated over and over again. The cucumber was not fresh and already had some smell. But the satay goreng was really good though.

I waited at the cashier counter for about 5 minutes with no one to assist me. I assume they were all busy, as they all saw me waiting. When a staff member finally approached me, he simply told me to use the self-ordering machine. I did that, but immediately after, I saw the same male staff member helping two men place their orders directly at the cashier. The two gentlemen didn't seem to require any special assistance; they appeared fine and spoke clearly. If you are able to take orders manually, why choose which customers to serve manually? It felt unfair, and honestly, the staff member's attitude was quite poor. There was no smile or basic courtesy – he just brushed me off as if I wasn't worth his time. For a place operating inside a hospital, we hope for a bit more empathy. People come here tired, stressed, and perhaps unwell. A little kindness really wouldn't hurt.

In the morning, you can have a quiet breakfast here. There were only two other tables occupied. I like quiet, so I am bookmarking this place.

The rice is fragrant and creamy with coconut milk, the sambal has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, the anchovies are crispy, and the fried spiced chicken is absolutely delicious. The portion is generous and worth the price. The shop has a simple yet comfortable setting, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Definitely a must-visit spot if you want to taste authentic kampung-style nasi lemak. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the manager’s hospitality. Your store manager RUZ went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. Very professional, friendly, and attentive — it truly made a difference. Great leadership clearly reflects in the staff as well. Highly recommend!

The mouth-watering chicken wings are our favourite, a must-order. They are fresh and nice. The fragrance of the rice always made my day. Thank you so much for the great service!
