I actually thought that I was going to Punggol for this Nasi Lemak stall until I search the internet for the address. Although it is named Ponggol, this Ponggol Nasi Lemak stall is located at Tanjong Katong, and nowhere near Ponggol at all.

I love Chinese style nasi lemak, and I’m suspecting many others too. This place is bright and airy, and incredibly crowded. The queues are ridiculously long. A small meal can cost about $5 depending on the sort of ingredients one chooses. Yes, the rice is fragrant, chili has enough kick, chicken wing crispy.

There are no set meals. Only ala carte dishes are available. Prices are steeper than other normal Nasi Lemak stalls, ranging from $5, depending on what you order.

There's a small drink stall behind the Nasi Lemak stall if you are looking for drinks.

First, the rice has that nice fragrant coconut flavor and the sambal is sweet and not overpowering to any dish.

The luncheon meat is so crispy from what you eat outside, but it's thinner than any others that you ate anywhere else.

The fried filet was another best fried food item there, the outside so crispy and tender inside as a warm up before coming down to the best item here.

Their chicken wing is a must get when you eat here. Fried to a golden crisp, the chicken wing was so crunchy on the outside and it's juicy on the inside that once you bite it, some of the juice will drip onto your tray. If it's your first time, definitely choose the fried chicken as it never disappoints. Always juicy, with the crispiest skin that is the most beautiful shade of golden brown I've ever seen.

Sambal chili is the most important ingredient in Nasi Lemak and it can spoil the whole dish if it is not good. But Ponggol Nasi Lemak's sambal sauce was the best I've eaten. I can totally eat it on its own with just the rice. It was sweet, spicy and give the kicks. If you need more chili, do ask for it when you are ordering.

To me, it was the best Chinese style nasi lemak with the home-made otah and awesome chili sauce creating a perfect blend. Add in a fried chicken wing, luncheon meat or fish filet, a fried sunny side up egg and you have the perfect meal for you. The only problem is that the servings a little to fill up a hungry stomach. I'm not sure if one serving is enough to fill anyone up if rather hungry.    

You can either park at the public carpark across the road or park along on either side of the road since it has no markings.
