Well, famous it is (we are lucky enough to be the last customer before they are sold out). But, well maybe expectations were high, the meal is slightly short of 'great'.
To be fair, the whole dish is good, but just not really that fantastic that I would want to travel all the way to here just to try it (well, at least not in the near future :p). The nasi lemak comes in different sets, from a basic (fish, ikan bilis and egg), to various IR theme set meal like Full House and Royal Flush, each come with different sides.
I ordered a Full House ($4), and it comes with egg, ikan bilis, fried chicken wing and a otah. The rice was nicely cooked, with a nice coconut milk fragrant, fluffy and best of all, doesn't feel oily. A key ingredient to a nice nasi lemak, it's the chili - which in here it has the right sweetness and not too spicy. The otah was good too, spicy enough but not too hot. And the ikan bilis was really crispy, I love it ! What disappoint me was the chicken wing (yes, i know chicken wing was not a 'standard' nasi lemak side). Normally, a good malay fried chicken wing was nicely marinate and the skin is crispy with a hint of spices. But this one was just like a normal chicken wing (it is crispy though), without the hint of spices that I am looking for. This was really disappointed.
Overall, I would say the Nasi Lemak is good, worth trying if you happened to be around Adam's Rd Hawker center. I would give it a 7/10.
The location is at :
