That crunch factor when you load up a heap of keropok onto steamed rice drenched in thick sauce and fried chicken on the side? That’s the deal here at Ilham which has earned a reputation for dishing up one of the best nasi kukus in town. Meal is cheap, setting you back at just RM6 for a pack of nasi kukus served with tangy pineapple acar, three types of gulai (gulai ikan, gulai darat & kuah kerutup), sambal and ayam goreng. Opt for the keropok (that’s an additional RM3) to complete your meal. What I liked best about this dish is the rice. And while the gulai didn’t soak through the middle, the rice was cooked to my liking; a little wet and a little sticky. I’d close one eye on their skimping of the curry for this 🍚 This and the keropok.

Service is canteen-style, so queue up for your pack of nasi kukus first then grab a pack of keropok and order your drink, before making your way to the counter for payment.
