Used to ask the boatman (changi point) to tapao from Pengarang. Very cheap and sedap.
OldTown at CS. Not bad. I like plain simple nasi lemak. Just ikan bilis, egg, nuts and the SAMBAL.
the sambal makes or breaks this dish I feel, the best I find are those with bawang and ikan bilis mixed in the sambal.
Yes. Sambal very important. Dont add to much varieties...like hotdog, chicken. Sudah jadi nasi campur.
S$1 nasi lemak in Toa Payoh almost closed, but sincere customer demand kept it going
The most famous nasi lemak in Singapore is arguably the traditional S$1 variety found at Block 20 Toa Payoh Lorong 7.
The humble nasi lemak sold there is made up of coconut rice with fish, egg, cucumber and sambal chilli.
Most amazing of all is that its S$1 price has remained unchanged in 32 years
Run by makcik
The food stall Kedai Makan Muhajirin is run by Zaliah Ishak.
She almost closed her stall down in December 2018.
This was after her stall's unit at Block 18, Lorong 7 shut down after she received a notice to move out of the premises.
Zaliah took it as a chance to retire.
She revealed in a Our Grandfather Story video: "I didn't want to sell anymore."
Customers love it
But many customers contacted her, asking questions.
These include, "Where are you auntie? I want to eat your S$1 nasi lemak," as well as "How are we going to find S$1 nasi lemak?"
The stall owner added: "My husband also encouraged me to continue. He said it's better if we work. If we work every day, our health will not deteriorate."
Not only did the stall carry on operating, it remained in the vicinity of the original outlet.
Kedai Makan Muhajirin reopened at block 20, a stone's throw away.
The stall serves 300 to 500 portions of nasi lemak in half a day.
Queues often stretch outside the coffee shop.
Low cost food for elderly residents
The stall also sells mee rebus, mee siam and lontong at S$2.50.
Food sold at low prices are to cater to the elderly residents in the estate.
Zaliah also said money is secondary: "Money alone cannot make us happy. The satisfaction that we get from running our business comes from being sincere. This is very important to me."
What's more important is customer satisfaction.
"It's true that I get tired, but I like what I am doing," she said in the interview.
"When people get to eat my food every day, I feel happy and motivated."
Zaliah said her daughter-in-law Nana Azlina is set to take over the business and has been told to keep nasi lemak at S$1.

It's not bad, definitely above average, but prices have now risen to ridiculous levels.
The cheapest plate is now $5.90 with a choice of either a cheap selar fish or 1 chicken wing. The fish fillet option has shrunk to a size that's like 2 pieces of supermarket slim bird's eye fish finger. That same portion only costs $3 in a coffee shop or hawker stall.

I find nothing great just above average but sinkies are suckers.

Agree. Sadly most of the money customers pay for the packet goes to capitaland reit owners.
It's a stupid system but here to stay.
that’s super duper uber elite nasty lemak alamak.Nasi lemak tastes better with the right ambience, the right company, and excellent service.
So cannot think, is it ?wah lau, uncle... u still thinking of tat 30 cts prata koso, 50 cts prata teloh good old days... u the can.
You have a problem with that, bitch ?
I have a colleage from JB.
Buys RM2 comes with egg, ikan billis,
ikan selar, sambal goreng and bekedil.
$69 per plate?
for elites at istana, priceless as taxpayers pay.
for whatever reason I just don't agree with using basmati rice for nasi lemak or any other dishes that require rice...the taste snd texture is just not right..thai jasmine rice still the best followed by jap short grain, vietnam is not fragrant but for whatever reason less affected by humidity esp leaving it overnight for fried rice
Nasi Lemak must come in original kampung style wrapped in banana leaf with sambal, ikan bilis, small piece of omelette n a cucumber.
I will not eat nasi lemak where u pick n choose your side dishes n served on a plate. This is not authentic nasi lemak.
