Do you have a favourite nasi lemak? We’ve tried countless variations of this beloved classic, and this version is the closest to the iconic Ponggol-style nasi lemak from Singapore!

What makes the perfect nasi lemak for you? For Jon, it’s all about the RICE, CHILLI, and CHICKEN WING!

Note: Adjust the sugar to your preferences depending on how you like your sambal.
