Ponggol Nasi Lemak Centre

At peak dinner time, the eatery was very crowded. People were busy walking, queuing, ordering and eating, lively scene. Managed a basic of Mixed Spicy Rice, Ponggol Nasi Lemak Centre was famous at Singapore.It was definitely a best late supper place, especially for night-owls. Sweet sambal was fragrantly rich with not overly spicy, accommodate finely with coconut-aromatic rice. Chicken drumstick was golden-yellowish, crispy with toothy bite. Fried Fishballs and Grilled Otak were perfect side dishes, added points to dull-looking plate. Had to admit, the price was high but pay for quality here. …Read More

This was my first time having punggol nasi lemak. Not too sure what is with the hype, their queue since to be never ending!I ordered 4 ingredients which are egg, french bean, chicken wing and ikan bilis and this costs me $5. although the nasi lemak is really nice (all the ingredients and rice), i will not specially come to eat again due to the long queue and its quite pricey for a plate of nasi lemak.Also, the staff service wasn't very good as they are very impatient. Even though the food is nice here, it does not make me wanna patronize it often.…Read More

The queue will look daunting forever no matter what time you go to this outlet along Upper Serangoon Road. However, the staff and patrons there are very well-trained and the queue moved very fast. So you don't feel the queue is a killjoy. They have a wide display window for all their dishes so that you can make up your mind fast while queuing and it's one of the points that makes the line move so fast.The chicken wings looked very popular because they constantly have a new batch to pour into the container. However, I didn't order that. Instead, I ordered their otah, fish cake and egg. Cucumber will be given at the cashier.$2.70.The rice is their highlight. I can tell why they are so popular. It's got that really fragrant and sweet coconut smell and it tastes really nice and not clumped together. Unlike other nasi lemak that will make you drink 10 glasses of water, this nasi lemak is surprisingly refreshing.The other highlight is the otah. I don't know if they make it themselves, but it's really very nice. Better than average otah you can buy on its own. This otah is not extremely spicy, it is just right to excite the taste buds without paralyzing your tongue. The sweetness and saltiness are balanced too!The fried fish cake is the normal fish cake you can find in economical beehoon and nasi lemak stalls all over Singapore, so there's nothing special. Same goes for the egg.So don't be turned off by the long queue, its speed may surprise you! Try this much-talked-about Nasi Lemak at least once in your life!…Read More

A day we decided to take it a try on Punngol Nasi Lemak... Had the chicken drumstick, egg, otah and sunny sideup...the food here was ordinary and nothing special and you can easily find a stall selling similar quality of food somewhere, The chilli was normal (at least to me), the rice given was pathetically small portion...Don't understand the queues & over the prices...Think twice before you plan to come here, the food may fall below your expectation...…Read More
