The Coco Rice, Tiong Bahru Food Centre

The Coco Rice, Tiong Bahru Food Centre

Noticed this stall (#02-58 Tiong Bahru Food Centre, 30 Seng Poh Road) a few weeks back. They're relatively new and riding on the trend of nasi lemak dyed with rice dyed blue from butterfly pea flower powder.

Tried their nasi lemak sets with tempeh/tofu/lady's finger and fried chicken leg. Aside from the chicken leg, the other ingredients were quite run of the mill. The chicken was well flavoured and the meat was juicy even. Very similar to the fried chicken leg from Hammee's but if I had to choose I'd say Hammee's was a little better.

Thought the rice could do with more coconut flavour. Tasted something else faint in it which I couldn't identify. Otah didn't taste like the regular mousse-y type grilled in banana leaves and didn't have much heat from their spices. Had texture more akin to fishcake. Not a fan of their sambal which was tangy, sweet and a little spicy at the same time. If I had to choose between this and Super Shiok, I'd pick the latter.
