This comes as good news as fans can now get their KL-style nasi lemak fix at a more central location. The new eatery is located in Icon Village, a three-minute walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. 

In case you didn’t know, the brand rose to fame for its nasi lemak, created by a chef who’s worked at the famous Village Park Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur for 15 years.

Fans will be happy to know that they can enjoy their nasi lemak here, alongside new additions such as kaya toast sets. There are dine-in seats here too, compared to the takeaway-only concept at their Joo Chiat outlet.

There’s the signature Ayam Goreng Berempah ($13.70): fragrant coconut rice, anchovies and peanuts, fried egg, and a house-made sambal, crowned by a deep-fried chicken leg.

Regulars tout the Malaysian-style fried chicken as tender and flavourful, thanks to the secret marinade of spices that include turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass.

When we visited Dickson Nasi Lemak’s OG outlet in 2022, we were impressed with the light and fluffy rice, which boasted an addictive fragrance thanks to the use of fresh coconut milk.

If you’re on a tighter budget, you can opt for their boneless chicken thigh cut instead, priced at $11.50 per portion. Otherwise, they also have a Basic ($7.10) nasi lemak set without any meat.

Besides nasi lemak, you’ll also find two breakfast options: Roti Bakaar with Kaya and Butter Set ($5.50) and Croissant Bakaar with Kaya and Butter Set ($6.30). Each set includes a hot kopi or teh, as well as two eggs. You can get them a la carte too, at $2.50 and $3.60 respectively.

Opening hours: Tue-Sun 8:30am to 3:30pm
