The senior minister of state added: "If a member's business has grown to a size where they are actually unable to split the time properly and they have to focus their time more on the businesses outside the hawker centres then I think it's time for them to really take a hard look and see whether where their main revenue source is coming from." These hawkers may have to give up their store which NEA has given to them for a lower rent to someone else who may need the space more There is a need for hawkers to man their stalls personally to prevent subletting and to protect the authenticity of Singapore’s hawker culture said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Koh Poh Koon Replying to MPs’ questions in parliament on Monday (Mar 10) Dr Koh suggested that hawkers who have expanded into outlets beyond the hawker centre and are spending too much time running the business operations instead of cooking at their stall reconsider if they should continue with their hawker business He said the National Environment Agency’s goal is to give opportunities to others to enter the hawker trade rather than support chain businesses as hawker centres are not just commercial spaces but also community dining spaces with a social role Hawker centres are not just commercial spaces NEA has invested in hawker centres to provide affordable cooked food for Singaporeans while enabling small food businesses to earn a reasonable living "We have deliberately kept the barrier to entry low to allow many hawkers to build a successful business and expand to other food and beverage establishments because this is the important role that our hawker centres play but we must also prevent individuals from gaming the system by profiteering from subletting." If NEA did not enforce this rule and stores are run fully by hired workers hawker centres will become "indistinguishable" from coffee shops and food courts "eroding the authenticity" shifting from passionate hawkers serving their own dishes to our customers to businesses just prioritising efficiency and scale over heritage and quality." While NEA supports the use of technology to improve efficiency at stalls it should not be at the expense of hawkers stepping away from running the store themselves and leaving its manning to workers "If hawker(s) wish to extend to a chain model and become bigger they have the option to move out of the hawker centres and do it at other F&B establishments where we do not impose restrictions," Dr Koh said The balance between protecting the hawker heritage and keeping food affordable and ensuring fair opportunities for new hawkers would be "quite difficult" to maintain if there are no rules to manage this It would have been "far easier" for NEA to let the hawker centres operate just as any other commercial outfits without any restrictions on subletting or any business models that the operator wants to do "But that will mean losing what makes them really special today So if Singaporeans are prepared to accept hawker food at price points just like any other coffee shop or food courts then we could remove these restrictions and let the free market take this cost," said Dr Koh Mr Edward Chia (PAP-Holland-Bukit Timah) asked in a supplementary question if the current requirements for hawkers to personally manage their stall has been effective in preventing unintended subletting and if this has unintentionally also discouraged genuine hawkers Dr Koh said that physical presence was the "most practical and fair way" of ensuring that the store is not sublet NEA would be able to directly monitor whether stallholders physically operate their stores during operating hours or are subletting on the ground "The truth is to catch subletting is not so easy because it is a private arrangement that can take place between the person who has bidded for the place but has not intention to run it and actually under the table could have been … subletting the store to someone else and profiting from rent," Dr Koh said The rent for hawker stalls can sometimes be below the market rate, even as low as S$1 "What we don't want is for a subletter to then profit from the huge margin by actually extracting rent from a person who's actually interested to run the store and pass the cost subsequently to consumers," said Dr Koh "And if there is a way for us to catch it better NEA will follow (up) on feedback where possible."  He added that NEA will also exercise flexibility to allow stallholders who need to step away from their stores for a short period of time to run errands to do so without penalty Associate Professor Jamus lim (WP-Sengkang) then shared that he had a resident who had sought that flexibility by asking for a window during which he had to physically be present at the store for the inspections He asked if providing such a window is not considered part of the flexibility Dr Koh said that there are place managers at every hawker centre to manage the operations who hawkers can communicate with if they need flexibility on the ground when the things are flouted and is too much of a repeat ask then I think it calls into question whether there is genuine need or whether there are some actions to try and circumvent our rules," he said adding that NEA will have to take things on a case-by-case basis it really is about what we want to (do) to see our hawker culture thrive."

perfect destination for food enthusiasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tamchiakkopitiam Site by Stitch Interactive Terms of use•Privacy policy If you’re a fan of silky, creamy scrambled eggs, you might have heard of Danlao — the hawker stall at Maxwell Food Centre serving up yummy scrambled egg rice bowls paired with toppings such as luncheon meat and chicken cutlet the popular brand now boasts 18 outlets in hawker stalls all around Singapore and it looks like they are still going full speed ahead The founding team, composed of Ong Zhen Ning, Jerrick Koh, Jermaine Choo, all aged 27, and Howard Ng, 30, have set their sights on further expansion with the launch of Kawan Bowl First opened in March at Choa Chu Kang’s Sunshine Place, Kawan Bowl is DanLao’s Muslim-friendly sister concept The main attraction is still scrambled egg rice bowls but with Malay and Indonesian-inspired flavours Expect unique options such as ayam berempah The chef graduated from At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy in 2021 and has worked for restaurants such as PS The idea for DanLao first came about in 2021 “I saw a gap in the market for this concept,” says Zhen Ning “I love creamy and silky eggs and felt that not many places execute this well So I wanted to do a simple hawker concept focusing on egg and rice.”  Working at Eggslut also influenced his recipe for the brand’s signature scrambled eggs which he describes as “using western cooking techniques on a Chinese wok” “Western chefs will constantly stir the scrambled eggs when cooking,” he adds places such as Hong Kong cook scrambled eggs layer by layer.” Zhen Ning gained plenty of experience controlling the desired consistency texture and creaminess of the eggs.He had also trained new staff members in cooking the eggs Initially, he had planned to start DanLao as a solo venture, but eventually realised that having more partners would give the brand more runway to grow Learning to run a business with like-minded individuals was also the best way forward The latter’s F&B experience includes a diploma in culinary and catering management at Temasek Polytechnic as well as working at the now-defunct fine-dining restaurant Vis-a-Vis “I was keen to start the business with Zhen Ning because I felt I didn’t fit into the rank and file system a lot of restaurants had,” says Jermaine “I wanted to create a business where I had more agency over things and could create a good working system for staff.”  Jerrick, Zhen Ning’s former classmate from At-Sunrice, joined the fray, too. He had worked for restaurants such as Putien, Ola and as head chef of September Coffee Howard, Zhen Ning’s childhood friend who had worked at a lei cha stall at Fusionopolis in One-north Each of the founding members take on different responsibilities Zhen Ning is in charge of company operations making sure the brand runs smoothly and comes up with SOPs and new menu items he takes charge of training newcomers & managers setting up new store openings and liaising with contractors In December 2022, DanLao’s first outlet was set up at Maxwell Food Centre with diners taking well to its delicious scrambled egg rice bowls with its latest located at Marina Bay Financial Centre the founders began toying with the idea of opening Kawan Bowl “Many of our Muslim friends were asking for a halal option so we thought of reaching out to the rest of this community and exploring this new market,” says Zhen Ning Besides using halal preparation techniques Kawan Bowl puts Malay and Indonesian-inspired twists on the chain’s signature scrambled-egg rice bowls “It is well known that Malay and Indonesian food are melting pots of spice The flavour profile is fairly complex and we wanted to conceptualise such dishes in a simple yet elevated way in neighbourhoods stalls,” says Zhen Ning You’ll see these dynamic flavours reflected in Kawan Bowl’s offerings which took about a month of R&D to create In contrast to DanLao’s menu of five items, Kawan Bowl has nine selections: Chicken luncheon egg rice (S$5.90), banana leaf otah egg rice (S$6.90), ayam berempah egg rice (S$7.90), satay goreng chicken egg rice (S$7.90), ayam panggang egg rice (S$7.90), taliwang chicken cutlet egg rice (S$7.90), curry fried chicken egg rice ($7.90), sambal prawn egg rice (S$7.90) and beef rendang egg rice (S$8.90) “When we were creating the menu at Kawan Bowl we understood the importance of having more variety in our menu,” says Zhen Ning “We are serving the neighbourhood crowds in Bidadari and Anchorvale where people might want to sit and eat a bit longer which are typically at the CBD and airport terminals where people prefer quick and fuss-free options.”  diners also have the option of pairing their mains with different styles of egg: Classic silken egg telur dadar (omelette style) and crispy egg (deep-fried) These were added to the menu after the founders sought feedback from their friends in the Muslim community some of whom had a preference for fried eggs as opposed to the more runny style of scrambled eggs One of Kawan Bowl’s signature items is the ayam berempah egg rice The deep fried Malay-style goreng chicken was inspired by Zhen Ning’s love for the dish the ayam berempah is marinated in a special sauce deep-fried to retain its moisture and cooked thoroughly We had a chance to try it and were thoroughly impressed by how tasty and tender the chicken was While the menu indicated that the dish was spicy I didn’t find the special sauce too overwhelming and thought that it added a nice kick to the dish Another popular choice is the sambal prawn egg rice the prawns are pan-fried together with red onions and finished with a special taliwang sauce You do need a higher spice tolerance for this but the sambal chilli isn’t too heavy and complements the egg-and-rice combination well We also tasted a tinge of sweetness in the chilli and appreciated the freshness of the prawns the satay goreng chicken egg rice will definitely tempt you The inspiration for this dish came from Zhen Ning’s memories of eating satay chicken rice and the team agreed that it was a much-loved local dish that would compliment the eggs well We found the satay chicken to be moist and tasty pairing well with the satay sauce — it has just the right texture and consistency If you’re looking for a unique dish pairing not commonly seen in hawker stalls Kawan Bowl has five outlets in the span of less than eight months — at Sunshine Place Were the founders ever hesitant about such rapid growth building their brand fast is something they embrace “We want to create a big impact — that’s why we pushed for expansion,” says Zhen Ning our concept is considered a new trend in Singapore so we have to strike while the iron is hot and open new stalls while we are still young.”  rapid expansion does come with its challenges such as hiring experienced staff and maintaining standards Jerrick takes charge of quality control and ensures that training and SOP is the same across all outlets All four founders also head down to the stalls regularly to check that everything is running up to par it has been a roller coaster ride for the founders They recall snaking queues from 10am when DanLao first opened at Maxwell Road almost two years ago all the while operating on only a skeleton crew “We lifted the shutter and saw the queue snaking all the way out back and I felt like closing it again as we were already struggling to open,” recalls Jermaine we had to challenge ourselves to continue pushing out food.”  They’ve come such a long way since then and the founders hope to take their brands to even greater heights They’ve just set up Yummy Thai in September — a food kiosk-style stall at Changi Airport’s Terminal 3 selling moo ping (pork skewers) sandwiches There’s also a two-in-one stall at Malaysia Boleh’s Northpoint City and Jurong Point locations named Curry You Curry Mee and Sungei Besi Scramble Egg Rice On offer there are Ipoh-style curry noodles and Malaysian-style scrambled egg rice we hope to inspire the next generation of

said the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Thursday (Feb 20) "Subletting would drive up rental prices and food prices to the detriment of Singaporeans," they added The agency was responding to AsiaOne's queries after a hawker's complaint went viral on social media this week Noorman Mubarak said that he was forced to make his heavily pregnant wife stand in their nasi lemak stall at Yishun Park Hawker Centre after they received a warning for violating NEA's tenancy agreement Noting that it is "rightly so" that hawkers must personally manage the stall he took issue with NEA saying that "personally means physically being in the stall" he and his wife have been managing the original Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang stall since 2017 After personally manning the stall for up to 18 hours daily for years the couple now let their staff run the stall while they handle administrative work and other matters it does not mean she cannot manage the shop in other ways," he said "We are just being smart and upgraded ourselves by using technology and software." Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang has 20 stores in Singapore and has been featured on Michelin Guide Singapore since 2021 NEA said that the stall is registered under Noorman's wife adding that Noorman is currently not a registered stallholder or stall assistant "NEA's appointed operator for Yishun Park Hawker Centre observed that Mrs Noorman has not been operating the stall personally and had reached out to her to explore appointing a joint operator or stall nominee," the agency added these options remain open to Mrs Noorman." Hawkers are also supported through measures such as rental rebates if they have to close their stalls temporarily Yishun Park Hawker Centre said in a Facebook post that they have engaged Noorman's wife "multiple times" to understand her circumstances and explore solutions "Our priority is to support a thriving hawker culture while ensuring compliance with existing policies It is not our intention to disrupt hawkers' businesses," they added Noorman told AsiaOne on Thursday that the hawker centre operator only contacted them once through a WhatsApp message "My wife told them that she is still managing the stall and is pregnant," the third-generation hawker said "No reply from them until they emailed us that we violated the tenancy agreement." Noorman said that he will be meeting with representatives from NEA to discuss the issue and added that he is open to all solutions including Timbre+ Hawkers' suggestions of him becoming a joint operator or stall nominee "But we are not side-stepping or pushing the issue aside," he added "Why are hawkers painted with a broad brush that we will sublet a stall if we are not physically in the stall?"

Husk Nasi Lemak’s menu features an array of protein options sous vide beef rendang and fried tilapia fish Our thoughts: The nasi lemak served here is a dish you’d be proud to share with your international friends The chicken was incredibly tender and had a sweetness reminiscent of prawn paste chicken and the crispy batter bits on top added a satisfying crunch Paired with the mildly spicy chilli padi sauce which offered an unexpected hint of lemongrass this chicken wing set (S$8.80) was a perfect harmony of flavours and textures The gooey hanjuku egg and refreshing achar more than compensated for the soggy ikan bilis What’s it about: Marked by a vibrant neon sign board, Those Days Yong Tau Foo & Nasi Lemak is famed amongst patrons for its yong tau foo but  also offers a number of a selection of nasi lemak sets Some of them feature yong tau foo ingredients as accompaniments a nod to the Chinese influence on the beloved dish Our thoughts: The nasi lemak original (S$4.90) started out strong with an aromatic base of coconutty basmati rice it starts to underwhelm with each component offered vague hints of curry powder and pepper The sambal was smooth and had a prominent shallot taste which might be for some palates but not mine it was not enough to make a lasting impression What’s it about: It’s nearly impossible to talk about nasi lemak without mentioning this iconic heritage brand. Ponggol Nasi Lemak maintaining its status as the go-to nasi lemak spot for Singaporeans the Capitol Piazza outlet stands out with its charming retro interior and an extensive menu featuring desserts such as home-baked tapioca cakes Cafe Ponggol Nasi Lemak lived up to its reputation which came with two wings that were deep-fried to crisp perfection The sambal achieved a nice balance between sweet and savoury Dolloped onto the fluffy coconut-infused rice with a couple of sugary ikan bilis The runny yolk of the fried egg was the cherry on top the extra dollar or two is worth the guarantee What’s it about: Originating from a humble stall along Old Airport Road, Lee Wee & Brothers now boasts seven outlets islandwide It serves up local favourites such as mee siam using recipes passed down from Lee Wee’s mother A beloved brand that prepares its ingredients it has been sharing a taste of its family recipes with diners for the past 20 years Our thoughts: Despite the generous selection of ingredients such as otah and fishcake the fried 3-joint wing nasi lemak (S$5.90) didn’t quite hit the mark for me but lacked the coconutty goodness that is essential to a good base The sambal had a saccharine-like sweetness with a thin and soggy breading that overshadowed its flavour I also tried the honey chicken 3-joint wing (S$1.80) What’s it about: Hailing from the vibrant neighbourhood of Damansara Uptown in Malaysia, food enthusiasts Mervyn and Simon are the creators of this authentic Malaysian nasi lemak establishment. With outlets at Beach Road and Telok Ayer, Uptown Nasi Lemak is the duo’s heartfelt homage to their beloved hometown flavours the pair also serve up local favourites such as kapitan chicken the nasi lemak with ayam goreng berempah (S$8.70) — a kind of spiced fried chicken — was one of my personal favourites on this list served as the perfect canvas for the more robust flavours which delivered a gradual crescendo of spiciness generously seasoned and pleasantly infused with lemongrass was a standout — succulent and substantial With high expectations given the price point the stall managed to exceed every one of them What’s it about: Founded in 1986, this unpretentious stall finds home within a coffee shop, making a name for itself as a hidden gem for nasi lemak. You can also find other local breakfast fare at Sixth Avenue Nasi Lemak it’s wise to arrive early to avoid the potential disappointment which imparts a nice nutty flavour to the creamy rice and its homemade sambal boasted a unique semi-sweet My only qualm with it was the portion size you can indulge in an extra spoonful — a worthy investment leaned towards saltiness rather than flavour the chicken nasi lemak set ($5.50) made for an incredibly satisfying breakfast What’s it about: West-siders flock to this no-frills nasi lemak spot located in Jurong West that has been a stalwart in the area for more than 20 years It’s said to be a strong rival to the much-lauded Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak another stall for famous nasi lemak in Singapore While Latiffa Huri’s menu features a number of familiar Muslim fare such as lontong and mee rebus what draws the crowd is the budget-friendly nasi lemak — it has a dedicated queue that can extend beyond an hour of waiting time Our thoughts: My appetite was whet from the aroma of the sambal as I walked through the back alley a gritty and slightly sweet paste with fiery chilli seeds that came with its nasi lemak (S$3) Though the rice had a decent coconut presence which took around 20 minutes due to the large number of orders The rest of the plate was decently packed with a fish and fried egg but it was a pity that the ikan bilis was missing What’s it about: Jumi’s Kitchen is a Muslim-owned eatery in the west dishing out an extensive menu of Malay breakfast classics such as nasi sambal goreng It is loved among regulars for its affordable pricing and diverse selection of dishes Our thoughts: The basmati rice exuded fragrance The saccharine-like sambal also failed to fully satisfy However its nasi lemak (S$3.50) managed to present an intriguing balance with contrasting flavour profiles The chicken wing featured a surprisingly tasty turmeric marinade that permeated its meat What’s it about: What’s a nasi lemak list without the Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak Starting as a humble food centre stall in the west in 1971 Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak has seen remarkable growth the third generation helms this family-run business which boasts five outlets across the island and offers award-winning nasi lemak for both dine-in and delivery from a central kitchen It’s known for its warm and fresh ingredients that deliver a flavourful punch Our thoughts: The coconut flavour is prominent in the rice yet the grains are overly soft due to the richness of the milk carries a mild spiciness that invites you to go back for more The freshly fried chicken is crispy with just the right amount of batter though the meat could use a little more marination While each element in the nasi lemak chicken set (S$4) had some room for improvement this was a plate that left me feeling satisfied What’s it about: Located in Boon Lay Place food centre, Xiang Feng Nasi Lemak has been serving up Chinese-style nasi lemak for more than three decades Take your pick from more than 25 side dishes here with crowd favourites such as mixed vegetables or crispy fried chicken cutlet Our thoughts: I searched hard for the coconut and pandan notes in the rice underperforms with an off-putting sourness that left me uncertain The chicken was decent and had a prawn-paste sweetness to it it comes coated in a glistening layer of sweet sauce while retaining a crunch This nasi lemak (S$4) won some with its side offerings What’s it about: Tucked away in an inconspicuous Bukit Batok coffeeshop, Nurul Delights Nasi Lemak is an extension of its original outlet located just 3km away It’s well-loved among residents in the area presenting generous portions of everyday staples such as mee rebus and lontong all while maintaining wallet-friendly prices the infusion of coconut and pandan flavours into the rice of its nasi lemak (S$3.50) impressed me The sambal elevated the dish with its unique smoky sweetness and a lingering spice The chicken was well-seasoned and had a lovely crisp sharing the same charred smokiness as the sambal and the dish lacked the essential ikan bilis the nasi lemak here is another personal favourite for its unique flavours and unbeatable value Nasi Lemak House.com is a nasi padang stall nestled within Bukit Timah Plaza you can savour a variety of comfort dishes Our thoughts: The rice in its nasi lemak (S$4) was fluffy and decently flavoured with coconut but the sambal veered towards the sweeter and more liquid side Adding on to the fact that portions were modest the nasi lemak at Pangkor Island Nasi Lemak takes inspiration from Malaysian-style coconut rice There are various protein options you can pick for your nasi lemak which comes with light blue-hued rice tinged with blue pea flower lemongrass chicken and seafood such as lemon satay fish Our thoughts: While the beautiful pastel blue-pea rice in the nonya nasi lemak lemongrass chicken set (S$6.90) was soft and tasty the essential coconut and pandan flavours were sadly a little too subtle What it lacked in the base it made up with the lemongrass chicken — it was juicy I also tried the turmeric chicken (S$4.50) which proved similarly tender and flavourful provided a complementary sweetness to the salty anchovies overall the chicken was the only thing worth praise What’s it about: Coba Coba is an authentic Indonesian food stall by a father-son duo drawing crowds for its affordable nasi padang and nasi ambeng with signatures such as tahu telur and sotong sumbat and celebrates the togetherness of old-school communal dining among family and friends Our thoughts: The paste-like sambal in its simple nasi lemak (S$3.80) offered a delightful kick that paired perfectly with the basmati rice which remained fluffy despite being generously infused with coconut The thickly battered fried chicken carried aromatic hints of prawn paste While the dish didn’t look particularly appetising it nevertheless delivered a commendable offering Read our critics’ review on Coba Coba What’s it about: A Michelin-recommended nasi lemak establishment that was born at Yishun Park Hawker Centre in 2017, Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang has since grown a strong presence with 12 branches across the island It’s a Muslim-owned eatery influenced by nasi uduk and a unique sauce from the town of Taliwang Our thoughts: The sambal was a hit — semi-sweet with a faint shrimp undertone and a touch of lemongrass Combining it with the coconut-infused savoury rice and the ikan bilis nut mix created the perfect bite and found the chicken to be well-marinated and coated with the perfect amount of batter What’s it about: This Muslim-owned Yishun nasi lemak stall may not be widely recognised beyond the neighbourhood but consistently draws lengthy queues from residents eager for a humble plate of nasi lemak in Singapore The rice comes in a pandan-reminiscent pastel green hue along with side choices including chicken patty Our thoughts: While the rice in its nasi lemak ayam (S$3.50) was flavourful with pandan and coconut The sambal offered a slight sweetness and tang which was balanced by the salty crunch of the ikan bilis which came in an appetising shade of turmeric orange the dish is an exceptionally economical option Our thoughts: The vibrant blue rice in my lavender rice with chicken wing (S$5) lacked the necessary savoury flavours as a counterbalance The chilli sauce and tangy mango salad contributed a lightness this down-to-earth stall is famous among east-siders Aliff Nasi Lemak also has an additional outlet at Serangoon Gardens and both locations consistently attract a queue for a good plate of affordable nasi lemak complete with a generous serving of sambal Our thoughts: The rice in its nasi lemak (S$4) leaned heavily toward the savoury side but the sambal was a classic — sweet from the shallots and gradually building a pleasant spiciness The turmeric flavours of the vibrantly yellow chicken came through strong but its saltiness felt somewhat redundant in an already savoury dish What’s it about: This old-school nasi padang stall which has been serving its comforting fare for more than 20 years offers a menu of timeless dishes such as asam pedas Despite being in competition with the famed Aliff Nasi Lemak it draws its own loyal following with its reliable nostalgic flavours Our thoughts: The richly infused coconut rice in my nasi lemak (S$3.50) was a little dry but paired nicely with the fluidic savoury sambal and the salty ikan bilis The chicken was a tad tough and lacked the marination that was promised on its skin While it would do for an everyday fuss-free meal it did not reach the heights of something extraordinary What’s it about: This treasure of a nasi lemak spot lies tucked beneath a block of HDB flats in Bedok Many residents and discerning foodies flock to this joint to get their nasi lemak fix at a low cost While its menu includes other items such as mee rebus and mee soto Azme Corner’s claim to fame lies in the nasi lemak sets which offer every combination of ingredients to suit every appetite there’s a queue that forms quickly the moment it opens The rice here takes the cake — it was fragrant with most of its flavour originating from the batter What’s it about: Hidden in Tampines Industrial Park is Lawa Bintang the stall that has transformed the ordinary nasi lemak into a luxury treat its protein selection includes the likes of decadent seafood such as squid Located at its nondescript venue since 2017 it has delighted many a lunch crowd with its unique offerings Our thoughts: As the most expensive one on the list the viral lobster nasi lemak (S$23) had high expectations to meet the lobster was served in the shell with a bubbling layer of cheese I also had a side of fried chicken (S$1.80) it couldn’t quite compete with the lobster Explore other Tampines favourites here What’s it about: As one of the more popular nasi lemak spots in Tampines, Nasi Lemak Specialist draws persistent lines throughout its operating hours This family-run business made its debut in Tampines Round Market in 2017 and has been a beloved dining spot in the east since offering both budget and value sets featuring beloved classics such as the begedil Our thoughts: The fragrant basmati rice absorbed a decent amount of coconut although its texture suffered from some broken grains The sambal bore a resemblance to bottled chilli sauce leaning toward sweetness without much complexity the fried chicken salvaged my chicken wing set (S$4) The distinctive turmeric seasoning infiltrated the meat beyond its crispy skin and momentarily erased my disappointment in the sambal What’s it about: This little family-run stall is a lesser known spot for Malay-style nasi lemak in the east it also offers a decent selection of traditional desserts and snacks such as kuih-muih and epok epok Our thoughts: The nasi lemak (S$4.50) here is an underrated gem and the sambal elevates it to another level with an intense spice and smoky sweetness The well-marinated fried chicken had an ideal amount of batter that maintains its crisp What’s it about: This super popular nasi lemak stall in Changi Village food centre needs no introduction, for it is often touted as one of the more well-regarded nasi lemak spots in Singapore. In operation since 1997, Mizzy Corner even occupies two stalls within the food centre serving up authentic nasi lemak with a variety of add-ons Fluffy and aromatic with coconut and pandan which created a harmonious blend of sweet and salty The chicken was flavourful but nothing spectacular What’s it about: This traditional nasi padang stall may not have a social media presence but manages to attract a brisk-moving queue of patrons It’s one of the more popular names in the hawker centre known for dishes such as beef rendang and black ink sotong Our thoughts: The sambal in my nasi lemak (S$4) was unlike any other I’ve tried With a dry and flaky texture reminiscent of finely chopped radish it surprised with a nice combination of sweetness and spice and provided additional texture to the long grain coconut rice The nasi lemak here proved to be a powerhouse in both taste and price in the Changi Village nasi lemak scene this stall is ironically less renowned than Mizzy Corner but stands as one of the contenders for the best nasi lemak in the food centre and you can take your pick from a variety of sets depending on your appetite for the day Our thoughts: The flavour of the rice could not hide how overcooked and clumpy the basmati rice was and the sambal was just sort of sweet without any depth of flavour while the ikan bilis were stale and inedible the nasi lemak set 3 (S$4.50) was a disappointing one Our thoughts: The coconut rice of our ayam goreng berampah nasi lemak (S$10.80) was soft and had a sweetness to it that was not entirely unpleasant when balanced with the salty ikan bilis The chicken stole the show with its crispy and flavourful skin and though the individual flavours were obvious the nasi lemak was enjoyable — although a little too pricey for something that isn’t quite perfect HungryGoWhere paid for its meals at these eateries.
