🟢 Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah set ( dapao)
***********************************
🟢 I came at around 11.20 am & ordered the Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah set priced at SGD15.90 for takeaway.
🟢 The Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah (SGD15.90) was a delicious and satisfying heritage-style set. ▪︎The spiced fried chicken was aromatic and crisp, pairing well with the fragrant coconut ( santan infused) rice.
✳️ Santan = means coconut milk in Malay.
🟢 The sambal added a sweet–spicy kick, complemented by the classic sides of peanuts, anchovies ( ie Ikan Bilis), and a jammy soft-boiled egg.➖️ The accompanying bowl of Sayur Lodeh was savoury and comforting, rounding off the meal beautifully.
🟢 The Teh-O ( local tea with sugar) was smooth & strong, with a pleasant tea aroma, and a gentle tannin finish -- nicely balanced without being too sweet.
🟪 Service = 🟪 I ordered at the cashier's counter and paid by Visa credit card. ➖️ A timer buzzer is given to you, and when your food is ready, the timer will buzz, and you go to the counter to collect.➖️ Just like in a canteen.
🟪 Service was quick & efficient, and the staff generally pleasant and helpful.
🟡 Seats = Indoor aircon-seats and outdoor alfresco seats in the courtyard are available. 🟡 There are ceiling fans at the outdoor area.
🟡 All in all, the food was delicious and the prices were reasonable for my pocket. ➖️ 🔴 My photos were taken both during daytime and night time as I had visited Rempapa Cafe twice.
