CRAVE Nasi Lemak (Waterway Point)

Descended from the famous Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak when it was founded in May 2015 by 2nd-generation owner Doctor Abdul Malik Hassan, this modern homegrown chain is among the most accessible and ubiquitous, with nearly 50 outlets across Singapore.
.
Consistent in quality and taste, their fluffy loose long-grain white rice carries distinct floral earthy grainy sweet flavour. The crunchy deep-fried ikan bilis / anchovies carry fishy salty savoury flavour, the firm roasted salted peanuts have nutty savoury salty flavour, and the wobbly soft fried chicken egg with runny yolk releases pleasant eggy savoury sweet flavour.
.
The soft otak-otak / otah / spiced mackerel fish paste is decent with fishy savoury spice flavour, and the tender springy breaded fish surimi fillet has sweet savoury flavour. The deep-fried turmeric marinated chicken wing, while smaller in size than their parent brand, is tender and juicy with smoky meaty savoury salty spice flavour, best eaten when piping hot. Their grainy sambal tumis / stir-fried chili paste has a bigger sweet salty spice flavour kick compared to elsewhere.

Their sambal chilli got kick!! Could feel the spice in my tummy after eating just a few bites. The chicken wing and chicken cutlet were crispy. The only way it could be better is if the rice were softer and fluffier instead of firm and in separate grains.

Price: $5.90 for chicken cutlet set + $1.80 for extra chicken wing = $7.70
