Decent Nasi lemak. Bought the chicken katsudon and the chicken was sufficiently fried and crispy. Rice not super fragrant but good enough. The chilli isn't very spicy which is good. Egg a bit small though. Costs about $4.12 after ntuc discount

First try, definitely not going to be my last. Today no long queue when I visited. Had the chicken wing set and added bergedil and luncheon meat. Rice is not very lemak taste but still fragrant. Chilli is sweet and spicy type. Can get spicier if take more. Goes really well with the rice. Ingredients were great too, i liked the chicken wing much. Is something different from eng kee's, probably because this is halal. Will revisit Update revisit Had chicken wing set this time, added luncheon meat, hashbrown and rendang chicken. Rendang tasted was good and chicken still moist inside. Hashbrown frying method I like. Really crispy outside. Rice and chilli consistently good

One of the surprisingly best nasi lemak i had in anchorvale area ! The server boy gave me superb portions of dishes when i ordered their original nasi lemak and I would definitely come back for more with the value and portion they serve.

One of the more impressive Nasi Lemak experiences I’ve had. The rice is fragrant, eggs are cooked to perfection with a runny yolk, and the chilli has a well-balanced sweetness and spiciness. Furthermore, the service is notably friendly. Overall, a commendable plate of Nasi Lemak at a reasonable and affordable price. Hopefully, they will sustain this level of quality and pricing.

Very nice and affordable nasi lemak at Anchorvale village hawker Center. As I had it in the very morning, it was so comfortable due to less people and easy to get a seat. They opens at 7am in the morning. The ingredients are all freshly made , the nasi lemak is so fragrant as well.

Quite a nice find. Rice is fragrant, choice of add ons comprehensive, sambal on point too. They even serve fried noodles, similar to a nearby stall. And I sort of understand why more people queue here for fried noodles as compared to the other. The food here is slightly better IMHO.

Ordered their Chicken Wing Set ($4) and added cabbage ($0.90), so total $4.90. Using FP app enjoys 10% discount. To me, most important ingredients for nasi lemak are the coconuty rice and the chilli, their rice had the coconuty taste but too wet and as for the chilli, it was a just nice and spiciness was also good. The rest of the ingredients like fried chicken, ikan bilis were not bad. Egg was normal. Overall I would give it 3.8/5 for the price. Kudos to the food handlers wearing mask to upkeep the hygiene.

I was craving Nasi Lemak and wanted to find something nice and close to home. I came across this shop on Google and decided to give it a try. No regrets—it was really good and met my expectations!

Here's an edited version of the review with minor improvements and grammar fixes, keeping the original meaning and sentiment intact: First try; definitely not going to be my last. Today, there was no long queue. I had the chicken wing set and added bergedil and luncheon meat. The rice wasn't very 'lemak' but was still fragrant. The chili is the sweet and spicy type. It gets spicier if you take more. It goes really well with the rice. The ingredients were great too; I really liked the chicken wing. It's something different from Eng Kee's, probably because it is halal. Will revisit. **Update: Revisit** I had the chicken wing set this time, and added luncheon meat, hashbrown, and rendang chicken. The rendang tasted good, and the chicken was still moist inside. I liked the hashbrown's frying method; it was really crispy outside. The rice and chili are consistently good.
