Chong Pang Nasi Lemak

Coming from Indonesia, I’d always wish for the be able to taste the santan on the rice itself so that the nasi lemak would taste pretty close to nasi uduk from back home and this place has definitely surprise me. You can very well savor the coconut after taste and as a +, this place also serve giant fried chicken drumsticks!

After hearing about it for so long, I finally got to try Chong Pang Nasi Lemak for the first time this year. I have to say, it’s pretty tasty and I was satisfied with the portions they served. There is a large variety of ingredients to order from as well, your usual fish, sausages, processed meats and vegetables, as well as meats like sweet and sour pork.
However, after a while, I started to feel a bit ill from all the oil. I found everything just a tad too greasy. Even the rice wasn’t fluffy the way I like rice to be, and every mouthful just made me more aware of the greasiness. :/​
The sambal was alright, just a bit too sweet. And while the chicken wings were good, I found it too heavy because it had too much flour in the batter.
The coffeeshop itself is old and dingy, and greasy. Like there’s a layer of oil over every surface. It doesn’t look very clean. They give huge servings, and it’s great value for money, but I just feel like it’s not really worth the trip all the way there.
I’d come back if I am in the area, but I wouldn’t come back specially for this. Especially since I’d have to drive here and there is next to no parking available. Even when we came late at night, my friend waited in the car for us to take away because the lots were also taken.

Its a really simple, no frills plate of nasi lemak, if you ask me. The flavourful rice paired with the deep red sambal makes for a delightful combination.
Top that off with a couple of freshly fried chicken wings that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it becomes a sinful treat.
The last I recall, it was $ 2.60 for a plate of nasi lemak with 1 fish, 1 chicken wing, 1 egg and 1 packet of ikan bilis.)

Okay, so I have heard many good things about this nasi lemak stall, so I wanted to see (or rather taste) for myself to see what the fuss is all about.
I arrived at dinner time to a fairly long queue, but decided to stick with the queue since I was already here.
The whole place is a very typical coffee shop setting.
I ordered the usual stuff: fish, egg, chicken wing, and sat down to enjoy my meal.
First of all, I thought that the rice was quite average and probably not as good as the one in Boon Lay. The rice was not as fragrant as I had expected, and it didn’t have that fluffy texture that I like in a nasi lemak rice. The chicken wing, however, was mindblowing. It was very crispy and was filled with flavor. The fish was okay and the egg was nice, but really the standout is the chicken wing. Of course, nasi lemak is incomplete without the sambal chili, and I thought the chili was very good as well. The only possible downside about this place is the slightly higher than average prices, and if you are not staying in the area, perhaps you could give this place a miss.

One of the best Nasi Lemak that I have eaten is the Chong Pang Nasi Lemak. It is located very near to the Katib Camp. I have tried the one at Changi Village and Punggol Nasi Lemak and the one at Chong Pang Nasi Lemak is the best so far. The stall is set up in a small coffee shop with limited parking. You will find people parking along the road illegally so as to queue for the food. The three main things I look out for in a Nasi Lemak is its rice, crispy chicken wing and sambal chili. Without any doubt, Chong Pang Nasi Lemak satisfied all the three criteria that I look out for. The rice is soft and fragrant but not sticky and goes hand in hand with the chili. Chicken wings are crispy to perfection and besides the chicken wing, the other fried items are equally crispy. They have a wide selection of around 20 – 30 food items to choose from. Each time I am there, I would try to select a new item that I have not tried before and I can say that most of them are fresh and up to expectation. The food will definitely not fail you.
Apart from the food, I also love sitting outside the stall while enjoying my food. It is rather hard nowadays to find a place in the city area that is slow pace and have a quiet surrounding. You can expect to queue 10 – 15 mins for the food during dinner time. Do also note that the stall is open from 5pm to 7am. Definitely a very good place for supper.

This malay food has undergone several transformation and I would say it has become a chinese — malay fusion food. The stall is located along sembawang road, a place where the army boys from chong pang camp will patron usually.
They offer a large variety of dishes and some of the popular dishes are the fried chicken wings, fried cuttle and the chilli sauce. Well this place is well known for its fried chicken wing but it may be well over rated for some. It tasted alright, just like any other fried chicken wing.
Its a good place to settle your dinner or supper as it opens till late. Opening hours starts from 4pm till late. If you are looking for parking place, it might be challenging and you might want to park in the near by neighbourhood.

When you think of nasi lemak, a few names come to mind. Chong pang nasi lemak is one of them.
The place is like a ‘kopitiam’ except you only get nasi lemak here. There’s a huge spread of side dishes (chicken wings, otah. crispy ikan bilis, curry, a-​char…) to choose from. You’ll be too spoilt for choices. I don’t really like having my meal there as the place has a pretty ‘oily feel’ to it. Just like how your home kitchen will feel oily after doing a lot of deep-​frying. I’d recommend going for a takeaway.
Opened from early evening to morning, this is one great place to have dinner, supper or an early brekkie.
