Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak

This one is a great find and its already been famously acclaimed as the No. 1 Nasi Lemak so I must record it down in my foodie blog.

Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak is at Adam Road Food Centre. What I like about this simple dish sold here is the hot and fragrant nasi (i.e. malay word for “rice”) – this stall uses a special Basmati rice whose rice grain is very small and fine, hence its great taste! Nasi Lemak means rice cooked with coconut. It is always the fragrance of the rice that determines whether this dish is rated good or not.

Of course, the side-dishes served with the nasi lemak matters a lot too. With well-cooked side-dishes, even the simplest nasi lemak can turn out a winner. The meals served here at Selera Rasa is a winner in every way - including the tasty fried chicken wing, fried ikan bilis and otah! The fried chicken is crispy outside yet tender inside and so are the fried ikan bilis (small fishes). There must be a secret recipe as to how they are cooked because they all taste just so right! Words just can’t describe it.

The set meals are also interestingly named as deals we see in card games e.g. Full House, Royal Flush, and Royal Rumble ranging from S$2 - S$5. My favourite is the Full House meal @ S$4 which has my favourite fried chicken wing, otah, fried egg, handful of ikan bilis and few slices of cucumber. Of course, not forgetting the must-have chilly padi served with the Nasi Lemak.

After a scrumptious serving of Nasi Lemak, don’t forget to also have a cup of Teh Tarik (Malay Milk Tea) available from the nearby Malay drink stalls to complete your meal. No need to say more. Selera Rasi Nasi Lemak is at No. 2 Adam Road Food Centre, Singapore.
