Will I come back again in 6 months' time? No, there are better alternatives 

My opinion:

This hawker stall specializes in traditional Singapore nasi lemak. For this food review, my mother and I have tried their nasi lemak Set A for dinner. There were 1 chicken wing, 1 egg, 3 fish cakes and moderate amount of rice in our food portion.

Chicken wing was juicy, soft and tender. Chicken wing was average tasting and not crispy enough. Egg was small sized and soft. Fish cakes were plain tasting and had an awkward oil taste.

Rice was the food's ultimate downfall as it was fluffy and totally devoid of coconut milk fragrance. Chili was extremely "powerful" and really "tortured" our tongues for 6 minutes. Honestly, this was the hottest nasi lemak chili we had tasted in 2015.

In a nutshell, the food here was cheap, plentiful and had significant amount of flaws that prevented us from returning in the near future. Therefore, we will advise nasi lemak fans to visit other alternatives in nearby coffee shops and food centres (Chinatown and Hong Lim).

Ways for the owners to improve their food ratings:

First, ensure the crispiness of the chicken wings. Second, review the rice's preparation and production processes.
