Stall opens slightly after 9:30am and there's a short queue waiting for them to start serving since 9am.
The queue built up quickly. There seemed also to be an invisible queue (phone in) and people usually get a few packets, so waiting time can be long (more than 30 minutes at least).
Fully loaded plate of coconut milk infused rice smothered under a pile of side dishes. Not sure of the price but was told it is reasonable.
For nasi lemak, I always zero in on the rice first. This was good - the rice grains were tender, softly nutty, with just the right moistness, had coconut milk fragrance and a slightly savoury-saltiness. Neither overly greasy, wet nor dry. Just nice. Nice.
My second nasi lemak thing is always the fried chicken wing.
It's another winner. The golden brown battered skin was crisp, the flesh inside the mid joint (my favourite part) was tender and juicy sweet. Love it.
Only after rice and fried chicken do I taste the sambal. What is your "nasi lemak sequence" 😬 ?
Anyway, this sambal is good - mostly savoury salty with subtle tartness. Nevertheless, I like my nasi lemak sambal better if they have anchovy umami and onion sweetness (this don't have).
The well fried golden brown ikan selar fish was relatively big and thick.
The meaty fish was tender and moist inside. The flesh tasted fresh. I enjoyed it so much that I chewed up the crispy head (but forgot to take a photo of the aftermath to prove it 😬).
The fried omelette and otak otak were pretty good too.
Last but not least, the mandatory fried dried ikan bilis and fried peanuts. The ikan bilis were savoury crisp and not overly salty at all. The fried peanuts were good too.
