The Coconut Club

"The Coconut Club proves that change can be good as long as the rice remains the same. They recently moved into a bright two-story shophouse, which is a kind of historical building with internal courtyards scattered throughout Singapore, and still execute their excellent nasi lemak (a.k.a. their signature coconut rice dish) along with some nifty additions: a slew of curries, an extensive dessert selection, and an exciting cocktail menu. If you’re somehow not full on fishcakes and vegetable curry, have a coconut shake or their pineapple Old Fashioned as you seriously consider moving to Singapore." - anthony eu

"This whitewashed traditional shophouse evokes unmistakably tropical vibes – wicker back chairs, wallpaper with banana leaf prints and cheerful blue-and-white tiled flooring. On the menu, the coconut theme is also obvious – the nasi lemak set is the best seller, but other dishes deserve equal attention too, such as ayam goreng berempah (spiced fried chicken with crispy rempah crumbs), and sago pudding with pandan, palm sugar and coconut cream." - Michelin Inspector

"When a serving of nasi lemak (fatty rice) normally sells for S$3 (US$2.19), it takes guts to price it at S$16.80 (US$12.29)—but the people behind the Coconut Club knew they were offering something different. The painstaking preparation pays off: The coconut-milk-infused rice is lemak (rich) in taste with a hint of sweetness, the perfect foil to the crispy ayam goreng berumpah (fried French Poulet leg or chicken breast marinated with ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, and galangal)." - Charlene Fang

"The Coconut Club's nasi lemak features a whole spiced chicken leg (or ayam goreng berempah), ikan bilis, roasted peanuts, sunny-side-up egg, cucumber slices and sambal. The coconut-centric restaurant is so well-regarded for its nasi lemak that Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong hosted Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte there for a meal in December 2016." - Kenneth Goh
