Changi Famous Nasi Lemak

Changi Famous Nasi Lemak lives up to its name by delivering a plate that feels both nostalgic and surprisingly refined. The coconut rice is fragrant without being heavy, the sambal leans sweet with a confident chilli finish, and the entire plate comes together with that unmistakable “old-school Changi” vibe—simple ingredients executed with clarity. What truly stands out, though, is how consistent the stall is: even at peak-hour queues, the components stay hot, fresh, and balanced. The fried chicken, however, is the clear headline act. It arrives crisp on the outside with a deep golden crust that crackles when you cut into it, yet the meat stays juicy and seasoned all the way through. It’s clearly marinated long enough for the flavour to reach the bone, giving each bite a mix of spice, salt and that slightly sweet Malay-style aroma. Paired with the warm rice and sambal, the chicken doesn’t just complement the dish—it elevates it, turning a humble nasi lemak into something genuinely memorable.

First had this legendary plate of Nasi lemak about a decade ago and glad that the standard has still be maintained even after all this years. Lemak rice, sweet and spicy sambal, tasty chicken and perfectly fried egg, what’s there not to like. Still my favourite in Changi village!

A Disappointing Return to a Former Favorite After being away from Changi Village, I was eager to revisit one of my all-time favorite Nasi Lemak stalls. As a long-time supporter, it's always been a must-visit. whenever I'm in Changi Village. That's why it was so disheartening to be completely dismissed today. I asked for one packet to go and was told by a staff member that my order—as a single person—was not worth their time because they had a larger one to manage. I was then ignored. I get it. Big orders are important. But so is the person who has been coming for a decade. The magic of a great hawker stall is that it makes everyone feel welcome, from the person ordering fifty packets to the person ordering one. That magic was entirely absent today. It's a real shame to see, and it's hard to imagine supporting them again.

Please don’t waste your calories on this store and it’s Nasi Lemak. Was staying over at a villa at Changi and missed the good old Nasi Lemak there but was utterly disappointed as its sambal chilli was watery and tasteless, the chicken wings was equally tasteless and not crispy, the rice was like plain rice, I added the potato cake and it has a tough skin and tasteless too, the fish fillet was no better. I have not tasted a Nasi Lemak worst than this and I paid $8 for it. If I had checked the rating and found it to be 2.6, I wouldn’t have bothered to try it out. Think they should change their name to Singapore’s worst Nasi Lemak instead.

Ordered the chicken set. The chicken was extremely crispy and they used balsmati rice which was extremely fragrant. The nasi lemak chilli is handmade, I saw the owner bring in a giant pot full of dried chilli. It wasn't sweet like the normal variety but it was really good. Will come back again!

A nice plate of nasi lemak! I enjoyed it! The rice was flavorful and good quality (not broken grains). Could taste the coconut fragrance! Ingredients selection is basic nasi lemak stuff but good! Fried chicken wing was still crisp when I received mine! They gave alot of sambal with my plate, not too spicy so it was enjoyable! Recommend to try!

rice had no lemak and was dry. sambal only had a “smoky” flavour. chicken wing was coated like pisang goreng batter - which was fine, but it was not the important factor in good nasi lemak. overall won’t return

The nasi lemak rice is beautifully fragrant with rich coconut aroma, making each bite flavorful and satisfying. Instead of regular rice, the stall owner uses basmati rice, which is lighter, fluffier, and a healthier option. Chicken wing was piping hot and crispy crumbs were served as a condiment. Chilli sauce is a bit blend but over all taste was great!

I first heard of (and ate) the famous Changi Village Nasi Lemak when I was a Slave (Conscript Soldier) on the Island of Doom (Pulau Tekong). Trapped as we were on that Accursed Isle, it tasted heavenly to us, fame aside. Now, more than a decade later, there're multiple Nasi Lemak stalls (in 2002 I think there were at most 2), which can confuse the hapless visitor. While International Nasi Lemak is the original (and famous) stall, this is actually the worst of the 4 that I've tried in my quest to find the best of them all: Egg: The egg here is pan fried. One plate's egg was overcooked but another plate's was okay, and the yolk was even slightly runny. Rice: This was particularly disappointing as it was remarkably flavourless. It was dry, hard and not very coconut-ish. Ikan Bilis: This was not bad and was crispy enough. One person thought it was the worst of the lot, though. Chili: This was more sour than the usual nasi lemak chili and not very nice. One panelist thought it too sweet. It was also inconsistent (on each plate it tasted different). Chicken: This was fresh and crispy (because they fry it in small batches - it was the only stall whose chicken was warm) and had a very simple taste. The batter was on the thick side. So not just was this stall's Nasi Lemak not very good, it was also quite inconsistent.
