Hany Moustafa, executive chef, Shabestan

“If I'm being very honest, nasi lemak is a dish that is new to me. My Singaporean and Malaysian colleagues always bring me nasi lemak to try and my favourite so far is Nusantara Singapore's nasi lemak bunga telang.

I see how much effort the chefs take to prepare this, as there are many steps that go into making this dish. Nusantara Singapore’s version uses blue pea flowers, chef’s special rempah and fresh coconut milk just to cook their basmati rice. Their sambal is hand pounded using fresh ingredients, making it a little sweet and spicy with a hint of anchovy flavour. The best part about this dish is the chicken that is crispy and full of flavours.”
