Nasi Lemak

HELLO! SINGAPORE TOURS GUIDE TO THE BEST SINGAPORE LOCAL FOOD

Visiting foodies can expect a mix of flavours and textures from nasi lemak, a popular breakfast meal with the locals. It comprises rice cooked in coconut milk—some cook the rice with pandan leaves to give it extra fragrance and a green colour—with side servings of deep-fried fish or chicken wings, otah (spicy fish paste grilled in banana leaf), fried ikan bilis (anchovies) with peanuts, eggs, cucumber slices and sambal (chilli paste). The sambal is a key ingredient; it should be robust and spiked with the flavour of shallots and ground dried shrimp. From S$3 per serving.
