Malaysia has better food than Singapore. Fight me.
Had some overseas guests and after a visit to the Botanic Gardens, we ended up at Adam Road Food Centre. This stall had the longest queue, so naturally, we thought it must have at least some standard – wrong.
Portion was pathetic; peanuts and ikan bilis were so few you could count them. The chicken wing was so small that my guest asked, and I quote, "Did this chicken grow up in poverty?". The otah was tasteless and without texture. The sambal had no kick. Grade C eggs. The rice was so-so.
Attached is another photo of nasi lemak 'dapao' (takeaway) from a Malaysian hawker centre. Don't even talk about price or exchange rate. If you brand yourself as "the original" or "number one nasi lemak" and people have to queue for half an hour, this is the minimum expectation. I think the queue part just boils down to gullible Singaporeans having no standards at all when it comes to food.

The sambal was too sweet for me. The rice was nice and fluffy but not very fragrant. The chicken wing, fried kuning, and bergedil were mediocre. I did like the otak and crispy ikan bilis. Overall, it was decent at best for me.

This is the only nasi lemak store with a queue at 9 am. It took 20 minutes to serve the 6 people in front of me. The rice was mushy and overcooked, with not much coconut flavour. The otah was cold and sour, probably leftovers from the previous day. Only the chicken wing tasted freshly fried. If this is their most popular store, I probably won't come back to this hawker centre.

Happened to be in the area and decided to join the long queue with no prior context. On a public holiday at 10 am, I queued for about 45 minutes. The fried chicken was great. The coconut rice, however, lacked coconut flavour. It's worth trying if there's no queue, otherwise, I'd give it a miss.
