Ah…. Life’s simple pleasures.
Another of life's simple pleasures that I love is nasi lemak - coconut flavoured rice with deep fried fish and sambal chili wrapped in banana leaf.
Try also Kin Wah's toast breads, buns, mee siam etc which are very popular. Kin Wah's nasi Padang stall is also a favourite among the working lunch crowd (stall MOVED to Qin Garden kopitiam at Jalan Dhoby).
