Mr & Mrs Nasi Lemak (#01-49, 71 Seng Poh Road, tel : +65 9383 5689) has taken over the space vacated by Loo's which has moved across the road in Tiong Bahru Food Centre. We arrived at the stall about 10 minutes before they opened and there didn't seem to be a queue. Pre-ordering was an option which we did and still waited about 40 minutes before we got our orders.
I've been thinking about what Gregory Leow has been saying about how basmati rice having a lower glycemic index which incidentally results in less satisfying experience when used as a rice for nasi lemak. Kinda agreeing on that. Mr & Mrs Nasi Lemak reinforced that agreement because they too use basmati rice and I think it needs more coconut milk and salt. Not satisfying rice. Chilli is okay but I won't miss it.
That's not to say that we haven't had any such good ones.
I suppose a few things differentiated these folks. There's the option for roast pork belly which to their defence is nicely done, tender and also much better tasting than many many roast pork stalls. The ones here aren't as spiced up and again, would benefit from some salt.
There's kawaebi which I feel also would be improved with some salt.
Chicken wings were so so and aren't in the same leagues as those from Ponggol Nasi Lemak which still sits at the top for my most satisfying nasi lemak as a whole.
Don't mind eating again if I'm in the vicinity but I wouldn't queue for it.
