Firdauz Nasir, chef, Permata Singapore

“Aside from The Coconut Club, where I used to work at, my other favourite nasi lemak place is Nurul Delights at Block 217 Bukit Batok Street 21. I have been following them for the last three years since they opened and the queue never ends at their shop. I've even had to queue for an hour just to buy this hawker favourite, which is priced at $2.50 only. They have never increased their price and my entire culinary team loves the nasi lemak whenever I “tapao” for them.

Nurul Delight’s Nasi Lemak brings back old memories of the Kampung days in Singapore. They wrap their nasi lemak with banana leaf and old newspaper. They pair it with sambal, which is slightly spicy and sweet with onion, as well as sides of omelette, old-school canteen fried chicken, crispy anchovies and peanuts.”
