Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang consistently earns praise for its fragrant coconut rice and well-marinated fried chicken.

We note that the chicken wing, often highlighted as the star, is fried to order, ensuring a crispy exterior and juicy meat.

The sambal chilli also receives special mention for its unique flavour and generous portion, though some find it mild.

While the quality is generally high, we observe a recurring comment about the pricing being on the higher side, with sets like the Chicken and Otak at $6.90 and other combinations reaching $9.50.

There's also an isolated but strong criticism regarding an overcooked and potentially stale-tasting chicken, suggesting some inconsistency in execution.

However, the majority of feedback points to a satisfying experience, particularly for late-night cravings given its extended operating hours.

We'd recommend this for a reliable, albeit slightly pricier, nasi lemak fix, especially if you're in the Hougang area and seeking a late-night meal.

I stumbled upon this stall by chance, and I'm so glad I did! This is hands down one of the best plates of Nasi Lemak I've had in a hawker centre. I was particularly surprised to learn they're open til…

First time having it. The Rice was fragrant, wings, sausage and fish cake fried upon ordering. Chilli not spicy though. Overall quite pricey . $9.50

Chicken was moist and tender, and the rice had a nice, rich coconut flavour. The stall was really generous when I asked for more chili. The only downside was that the rice wasn’t served piping hot.

★★★★Elvis Tam· 4 months ago

Really disappointed with this so-called Michelin-recommended nasi lemak 😞. The fried chicken was fried way too dark—looked more like black sauce chicken or burnt charcoal than proper ayam goreng. The…
