Now back at the hawker centre, OG Lemak’s twice-steamed Nasi Lemak took Shen many years to perfect, and the final recipe takes over 4 hours to cook. With 11 ingredients like onions, ginger, lemongrass, pandan leaves, coconut milk, water, salt and fenugreek, the result is a flavourful and layered Nasi, much like the Nasi Lemak of yesteryear.
This is the OG hawker stall right here. Agreed, it isn’t a cafe or a restaurant, but pay a visit to OG Lemak and be sure that you won’t be disappointed. Remember Chef Shen Tan’s famous nasi lemak comprising 11 ingredients? Well, it is back in the form of a modest stall in the Newton Food Centre.
Soft and fluffy rice comes accompanied with four different options on the menu. Take your pick from chicken rendang, crispy chicken, beef rendang or vegan sides. Order one (or more if you’re feeling particularly famished) and have a nice meal at the mall or call for a takeaway and grab a couple of beers on the way. We’ll leave it up to you.
