The Coconut Club

'The rice was lovely and fluffy, with that undemanding aroma that didn’t overwhelm. I don’t always finish my Nasi Lemak rice as it could be both oily and heavy. This – I cleaned out. It was sedap in an understated sort of way. The chicken was the other tasty element, rubbed with lemongrass, galangal and turmeric, carrying with it Asian flavours rather than just a generic fried chicken.'

'Expect lush coconut rice made with coconut milk squeezed in-house, fried chicken so crisp and brown thanks to the rub of spices used, and a fragrant sambal that hits all the spots. Plus, it doesn’t cloy with oil, so you can feel less guilty as you tuck into a bowl of The Coconut Club’s signature chendol right after.'

'The basic Nasi Lemak ($12.80) came served with a substantial portion of ayam goreng berumpah, and I was so glad that I wasn’t receiving a measly chicken wing. The seasoning on that chicken was on point and paired so well with the fluffy coconut rice and homemade sambal reminiscent of some of the best I’ve ever had.'
