So just last week, I went for a half island ride with my usual Happy Feet. I swear my out-of-true rear wheel and broken cleat slowed me down by a lot during that ride... So sorry for holding you guys back!
We started off from our usual meetup spot at UMC Pasir Ris, headed towards Punggol, Seletar, Mandai (i literally died here), Upper Bukit Timah and to the junction of Dunearn Rd and Adam Rd where Adam Road Food Centre is located.
More details of the ride can be found here.
At 0830, Adam Road Food Centre was already filled with hungry customers. Well most of them were eagerly queuing for one of the famous Nasi Lemak in Singapore. The stall that I am referring to is none other than Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak!
Singaporeans are willing to queue for anything good! Don't say bo jio!
After having queued for at least 20mins, I finally got to the front. Their menu offers various set meals for your nasi lemak. You can still add other side dished to the prefixed sets. I ordered their "Full House" which consists of rice, chicken wing, otah, egg, ikan bilis, sambal tumis and cucumber slices for only $4.50.
Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak: Full House
I requested for extra rice which was only 50¢ more. Considering that they used a decent quality basmati rice, 50¢ for extra rice is really cheap.
The Verdict
The taste of the rice is light and fluffy. The grains do not clump together unlike other stalls who do not use basmati rice. The amount of coconut cream and salt used is also perfect. I would compare this with Geylang Serai's Warong Mak Dara's Nasi Lemak and I have to say that the rice from both are just as good.
To me, their sambal was just okay. For me it was a little on the sweet side. I believe they have adjusted their sambal based on feedback from their valued customers. Well, not everyone can withstand the kick of really spicy sambal. So I would say that their sambal is suitable for everyone.
I will not be talking about the various side dishes like otah and chicken wing as I believe that they do not contribute significantly to the overall dish. On a side note, I'm pretty damn sure they used goreng pisang batter for their chicken wing.
Prices start from $2.50 and I have to say that their sets are really value for money considering that they use quality ingredients. If you want a taste of real nasi lemak, this is probably one of it.
