Best Nasi Lemak in Selangor

Best Nasi Lemak in Selangor

Nasi lemak is undoubtedly one of my favourite Malaysian dishes. It is considered the national dish in Malaysia. It is a Malay fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. It is often served with spicy sambal, hard-boiled eggs, slices of cucumber, ikan bilis, peanuts and so many more other accompaniments.

Here are the some places to try out the best nasi lemak in Selangor

1. Village Park Restaurant

Touted as the Best Malay/Malaysian restaurant in Time Out KL’s Food & Drink Awards 2016, Village Park has been catering to lovers of nasi lemak for many years ― some who have even travelled great distances just to get a taste of the restaurant’s famous dish. Their fried chicken is juicy, delicious and you get to taste just enough crispy fried batter with the chicken. Rice is served fluffy and fragrant while the sambal is also equally excellent. This restaurant has long canteen-style table and is often difficult to get a seat here, especially during peak hours.

The  name bumbung is derived from the venue which is set at a back lane of shop lot which does not have a roof over it. A standard plate of Nasi Lemak with fried chicken cost RM6 which comes with anchovies, sunny side up egg, peanuts, and sambal. The unique part of this nasi lemak is the chicken skin which is made of aromatic Indian herbs.

Big Tree Head Mamak have been cooking up their legendary Nasi Lemak Ayam for the past 30 years. Their USP would be the Ayam Goreng which is made fresh everyday. Super crispy and crunchy on the outside while the inside is extremely moist and juicy. Customers may choose between the sweet and spicy sambal sauce, or even a good combination of both!
