Delicious nasi lemak in JB

Forget about this nasi lemak lah

I came across this nasi lemak stall at the basement of Compass One which claimed it was the original Adam Road nasi lemak. I had the cheapest one from the menu, Kuning Fish Set at $4.90 and it was just ordinary which is about the same standard to those being sold at the hawker center and kopi shops (usually at $2.50). What pissed me off was that the curtlery and plate were made of plastic. How to eat the fried fish with plastic cutlery?

Busy schedule so ate out

We were busy with work that my wife does not have the time to cook. Besides, shopping at the supermarket for veggies and groceries today (Saturday) is quite challenging. We ended up eating Yong Tau Fu for breakfast and Nasi Lemak for dinner.

Meals for today

Lunch was roasted duck and dinner was fish head curry,vegetables and rice at Jalan Kayu coffee shop. That was half portion of a duck which was $20. The fish head (half) was $22 and the veggies were $3 from a nasi lemak stall. Rice was 60c per plate. Food as usual good and worthwhile paying for.

Brunch,afternoon cake set and dinner

Japanese Hambagu (Hamburg) Steak

Cakes and Cappuccino from McCafe

The Japanese Hamburg steak was home made. It comprised of minced beef with eggs,minced parsley etc etc. We did not use much sauce so it was a little bland but healthy. We had the fried egg, potatoes and fried sliced brinjal as accompaniments. The dish wasn't superb but satisfying.
The cakes set was from McDonald's McCafe. There were 2 types, one was the cheese cake and the other, the chocolate cake. The set came with a cup of cappuccino. Yummy but high in calories.

Nasi Lemak and Ice-cream

The nasi lemak was from a newly opened stall at a coffee shop near our place. For the price ($3.20) it was really worth it. If you minus the ikan billis, the set is only $2.60 which is reasonable.
It gives the famous Punggol Nasik Lemak a run for their money.
The ice-cream was from Magnum. A box of 6 cost $10.90 but if you buy 2 boxes, it is at a reasonable $16.90. The special offer is only available at Fairprice. At the 7-11 stores there is no special offer so one would have to pay $10.90 for a box or $21.80 for 2 boxes.

You can get almost anything at Chong Pang Market

Went to Chong Pang Market/Hawker Center this afternoon for nasi lemak from a Chinese stall. It's as good if not better than the ones at Changi Village. I ordered the set "C" (shown in the photo above) which is very good. It comes with a piece of otak, fried chicken wing, long beans and the sambal. It is relatively cheap ($3) and the rice is green in colour because of the pandan leaves. Overall, worth going there to have this nasi lemak.
Next, I had the sugarcane juice which was delightfully refreshing on a hot humid afternoon. A small cup with ice cubes is $1.10 and it's from a stall called "Lucky". At other stalls in Chong Pang itself, it may cost you 20 cents more.
At downtown satay club, this cup of juice may cost you $2.

We also shopped for Jack fruits,potatoes,a pair of kitchen scissor,sieves etc etc.

Nasi Lemak & Potato Curry Puff/SCDF/ Muhammad Ali

We were at Changi Cargo Terminal to export something early in the morning. After completing our assignment, we stopped by Changi Village again to try the International Nasi Lemak which we missed the day before. This time they have not open for business as it was too early (about 6 am). Most of the stalls were closed except for one which I can't recall the name. This nasi lemak stall was along the same row as International but right at the far end nearer to the bus interchange.
In our opinion, the nasi lemak (above) was the best, at least the rice which was aromatic and fragrant. The fried fish was average. The sambal was quite good although a little watery. They also sell curry potato and sardine puffs for a dollar per piece.
Like I said before, we would not go out of the way to try this type of mediocre nasi lemak.

SCDF's fire engines near my place

There was a flurry of activities next to my block of flats when I got home this afternoon. Apparently, one of the units had its cooking gas leaking and the firemen were there to help. In fact, there was no fire or emergency. In a matter of minutes, the SCDF people left the scene.

Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak

At Changi Village this afternoon to do some errands and end up eating nasi lemak at Mizzy Corner. A big disappointment for me as the fried fish they served were small ones. The last time I was there, Mizzy had bigger fishes. Overall, the quality has declined as compared to years ago. Nevertheless, it's still quite good. That said, I won't travel all the way to Changi Village just to eat Mizzy's nasi lemak.
