“I came across Ponggol Nasi Lemak through friends who frequent this place, and you can now say that it’s my regular spot whenever I crave this dish—especially during supper. I like their fiery sambal and fried fish, which give your tastebuds a good time.”

“I used to live around the northeast area & Ponggol Nasi Lemak is one of the more popular places for supper. I would have to say that I have been visiting the Kovan outlet for maybe close to 6 years.

It’s my nasi lemak go-to. There may be other places that have better nasi lemak but I love that it’s super close to my heart & they have a crazy amount of selections when it comes to side dishes. They have this underrated side (in my opinion), Curry vegetables. Unlike most curry vegetables, their curry is rich and packed with spices. Not to mention their otah and chilli are also so good.”
