Established by Afandi Ahmad in 1967, this heritage stall is now run by the 2nd generation.
.
The ingredients are standard, chewy soft yellow egg noodles, crisp bean sprouts, spongy tofu puffs, bouncy hard boiled chicken egg, and crisp green chili, resulting in grainy sweet vegetal savoury eggy spice flavour.
.
But the star is their gravy, thick, chunky, and viscous, made with a base of mashed sweet potato, fermented soy bean paste, dried shrimp, lime juice, and spices; with the addition of unique ingredients including mutton and flower crab.
.
The result is an addictive sweet savoury earthy nutty spice flavour to the gravy, comforting and filling.

It’s Fri-YAY and you already know where to find me β€” standing in line at Boon Lay hawker centre for that legendary nasi lemak!
Freshly fried, piping hot and worth every minute of the wait. Their otah? Ultra soft and moist, with distinct chunks of meat ~ totally irresistible! 🫢🏻

Established in September 2008, this place was recommended by a colleague-influencer when our office was nearby, and I've been returning since then.
.
Their rendition has a mild orange visual, with soft yellow noodles tossed with crunchy cabbage, tender beef slices, wispy chicken egg, and crisp green chili. Topped with juicy cucumber slices and a wobbly fried sunny-side-up egg.
.
Has lovely smoky grainy salty meaty savoury eggy sweet spice flavour, a straightforward rendition.

Since August 2004, this street side fast casual 24-hour eatery has been a go-to in town, from when I used to work nearby.
.
Their rendition is among the more asthetically pleasing, thanks to the perfectly fried chicken egg shaped by a round mould, with eggy sweet savoury flavour.
.
The dish itself is delicious, the soft chewy yellow noodles, crisp bean sprouts, wispy chicken egg, and tender beef slices, all in a vibrant orange hue, with bold smoky grainy eggy vegetal sweet savoury salty meaty spice flavour.
.
Bits of chili give it a good fiery kick.

The fact that this joint has been in the Michelin guide for 4 years in a row is yet another confirmation that the Mich inspectors are clueless when it comes to judging non-western cuisine. The sambal is pretty unique, but otherwise the rice is not fragrant and the chicken very meh.
At the Lucky Plaza outlet, they even serve it in a paper box with plastic utensils - useless for the not-so-tender chicken.
