Nasi lemak mixed veg rice version at one-north ($5)!
Cai png stall version of nasi lemak — coconut rice piled high with cereal chicken, curry vegetables, cabbage, achar and a fierce dollop of sambal. $5 for a hearty lunch.
Weekday lunch around one-north and I stumbled onto a mixed veg rice stall doing a sneaky nasi lemak version — coconut rice instead of plain white, with the cai png usual suspects piled on top. Best of both worlds. 😋
What was on the plate:
- Fluffy coconut rice as the base
- A piece of crispy cereal chicken (or some kind of golden fried chicken bits)
- Curry chicken / curry vegetables with potato chunks, swimming in that turmeric-yellow gravy
- Stir-fried cabbage
- Tangy mixed achar pickled veg
- A blob of fierce-looking sambal on the side
All for $5. Cheap, cheerful, and absolutely filling for a quick weekday meal.
Overall: 4.2 / 5. The fusion of cai png convenience with nasi lemak flavour really worked. Sambal had a proper kick too. Would go again. 😍👍🏼
