This stall has drawn some long lines lately, as it's run by a private dining chef who steams her rice twice (500 Clemenceau Avenue North #01-16). And it's precisely the rice that was the best part of this dish: it featured a very delicate and borderline crumbly texture. It wasn't as coconut-y as most nasi lemak, but that's what I liked about it, as it was more subtle and perfumed with other spices as well.
The fried chicken, on the other hand, was coated in a surprisingly thick batter. And the two sambal types were both on the sweet side. Those weren't necessarily bad things; it was more crunchy and candy-like, and I still ate it all. But the standout for me was the rice. I wonder if there is a way to ask for a larger portion of rice next time.
