Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

We think Kedai Makan Muhajirin stands out primarily for its commitment to affordability, offering a $1 Nasi Lemak that's increasingly rare in Singapore.

This basic option, featuring either ikan bilis or fish, is a simple but satisfying meal, with the sambal chilli frequently highlighted as a key component.

For a slightly higher price, around $1.20-$1.50, you can add an egg and fried ikan.

While the Nasi Lemak is the star, they also offer other Malay dishes like Mee Rebus and Mee Siam for $3, which are described as decent and enjoyable, though perhaps not 'wow' factor dishes.

The Mee Rebus, in particular, is noted for its crispy toppings.

We'd recommend arriving early, as popular items like curry puffs and certain Nasi Lemak accompaniments can sell out by noon.

The long queues are a testament to its popularity and value.

This is a place for a humble, budget-friendly meal rather than a gourmet experience.

Verdict: A must-visit for an incredibly affordable and authentic Nasi Lemak, especially for breakfast or an early lunch.

What customers say

Kedai Makan Muhajirin is highly praised for its incredibly affordable $1 Nasi Lemak, a rare find in Singapore, which customers appreciate for its simple yet satisfying taste, especially the sambal chilli.

While the $1 portion is small, options for add-ons like egg and ikan are available at slightly higher prices.

Other Malay dishes like Mee Rebus and Mee Siam are also offered, generally considered decent and good value at $3, though some items like curry puffs can sell out early due to high demand and long queues.

It's commendable that they sell $1 Nasi Lemak to help the needy. I went for the Mee Siam and Mee Rebus, though the curry puff I wanted was sold out. The Mee Siam and Mee Rebus weren’t "wow," but still…
