Our take: Lawa Bintang is a well-regarded nasi lemak stall, particularly known for its unique Lobster Nasi Lemak.
Reviewers consistently praise the fragrant rice and the outstanding sambal chilli, which is noted for its spicy kick.
While the $25 lobster nasi lemak is a popular choice, some find the lobster size variable, with one reviewer comparing it to a large river prawn, while others describe it as generously sized.
The fried drumstick nasi lemak at $5 is also highlighted as a strong option, complete with crispy flour chips for added texture.
We note that operational hours can be inconsistent, with some customers reporting unexpected closures, especially during festive periods.
It's advisable to verify opening times before making a special trip.
Despite this, the overall sentiment is positive, with many recommending it for the quality of the food and the friendly service.
Verdict: Worth a visit if you're in the East, especially for the unique Lobster Nasi Lemak, but confirm opening hours beforehand.

What customers say
Lawa Bintang garners strong positive sentiment, particularly for its Nasi Lemak dishes, with the Lobster Nasi Lemak being a standout for its fresh, generously sized lobster and fragrant rice.
Customers consistently praise the 'power' sambal chilli for its flavour and spiciness, though some find it milder.
While the fried drumstick and chicken wings are also popular, some minor criticisms include the ikan bilis being mixed with crackers and occasional inaccuracies in stated business hours.
