Having been to some of the famous Nasi Lemak like Mount Faber Nasi Lemak, Bali Nasi Lemak and Ponggol Nasi Lemak, I went to Adam Road Hawker Centre to try out Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak with no expectations. Adam Road Food Centre itself is a great hawker in Singapore where you can find variety of Malay, Indian, and Chinese stalls to choose from. Nasi lemak fans should be familiar with Adam Road Nasi Lemak. Selera Rasa has been visited by lots of top food reviewers, and our very own Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also served this Nasi Lemak to Indonesian President.

All sets come with ikan bilis, cucumber slices and rice with sambal chili sauce.

You will have ample time to look at their menu displayed on the signboard while you are queuing. The price of your nasi lemak set ranging from $2.90 with just egg, ikan bilis, cucumber and sambal chili. This, to me, is considered expensive this plate of nasi lemak. 

At Adam Road Food Centre, you can easily spot this Nasi Lemak stall. Just look for a stall with long queue. After about 30 minutes of queuing, it is finally my turn to order. Their queue is long as many of their customers were seen ordering many packets of Nasi Lemak; with some even ordered like a good 10 or 20 packets, which the serving took about 5 minutes for 1 customer.

The fried chicken, the egg, and the ikan bilis are all nothing special in my opinion. Chicken wing was fresh, and though the batter was heavy, it was surprisingly crispy with juicy tender meat. The sambal chili was not spicy, it was more on the sweet side. I prefer the chilli to be towards the spicier version.

The rice I believe was basmati rice, a type of rice used commonly in Briyani. The rice grain is long, fluffy and gives a lighter texture. You could taste a mild coconut milk with each mouthful of the rice. One of the most soft, cottony coconut rice I have had. But I would preferred shorter and harder rice. 

Overall, I would probably not wait in line again to get a plate of nasi lemak here or even go all the way to Adam Road Food Centre to satisfy my Nasi Lemak craving, probably due to the fact that we have had eaten better Nasi Lemak elsewhere.
