This nondescript nasi lemak stall in Kepong’s Wai Sek Kai sees locals fall in line for mouth-watering Nasi Lemak (from RM2.50) with fluffy, perfectly cooked coconut rice, and the punch-packed sambal. Pair that with the Sambal Sotong (from RM1.50) and the flavourful Rendang Daging or Curry Chicken (from RM1). The friendly uncle who runs the humble stall is generous when it comes to piling on extra rice and sambal, which you should always yes say to.
