Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang at Gardens by the Bay presents a mixed bag, with strong opinions on both sides.

We see frequent mentions of its Michelin Guide feature, which for some, like Handi Prabowo and Doc B Lapa, validates a positive dining experience, praising the flavorful curry and coconut-infused rice.

However, a significant number of reviews, including those from TzeThon Chua and Nadhirah Hamzah, express disappointment, primarily citing dry, tasteless, or burnt chicken.

The sambal is often highlighted as the saving grace, necessary to make the meal palatable.

We note the recurring sentiment that the chicken, especially the fried option, lacks the expected flavor profile of ayam berempah.

Given the higher-than-average price point, as mentioned by TzeThon Chua, the value proposition is questionable for those who find the core components lacking.

Verdict: Best for those who prioritize a quick, halal option in the area and are willing to overlook potential inconsistencies with the chicken, or for those who specifically enjoy a rich curry with their nasi lemak.

What customers say

Customer sentiment for Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang at Gardens by the Bay is mixed, with strong opinions on both sides.

While some praise the flavorful curry, efficient service, and overall taste, others are highly critical of the dry, tasteless, or burnt chicken, soggy begedil, and perceived lack of value for money, especially given its Michelin Guide recognition.

The rice and sambal generally receive more positive, or at least neutral, feedback.

Another halal food choices. You can tell from the picture that the food looks great, and it truly was. No wonder they've been featured in the Michelin Guide five times. Kudos! I ordered the curry ric…

We weren't expecting to find a Michelin starred restaurant here (we were only looking for a place to casually dine in before exploring the area), so it was a pleasant surprise. The service was efficie…

Chicken is burnt and the meat does not have any taste at all (except the burnt). It failed the standard level of Indonesian nasi lemak. Seriously they do need immediate improvement.
