Yeah there's no more branch at yishun, nor serangoon. 

Mersaylee goes to the oasis terrace one at punggol. but it's unfortunately bit out of the way for me. 

The ma you ji at all malaysia boleh food courts and iEAT is pretty good. They are all under Fei Siong group. Quite consistent quality. 
$6.80 without rice. I give my thumbs up.

Never tried before Punggol or what Chong Pang nasi lemak....

I don't like Chinese nasi lemak. They are nothing more than very expensive cai png being rebranded into "nasi lemak".

Want nice nasi lemak, go across the causeway. Even their McD nasi lemak is nicer than the ones here.

I cannot even bring myself to finish a Malaysian McD nasi lemak and usually disappointed with random coffeeshop type coz I dunno where are good ones in Malaysia. Only I find Malay nasi lemak chilli usually better than Chinese coz they put more sugar plus made to add like gravy lol. But our Chinese nasi lemak got veg, achar (last time I ask a Malay store why they don't have this and they say achar is Indian lol), and fresher chicken/fish (still crispy) 90% of the time better than Malay one. My go to one is Khatib central next to NTUC. Only if you go restaurant then Malay one start to beat Chinese/Peranakan.

Random coffee shop in MY sell “budget” Nasi lemak. Rice, Sambal and Egg.

Usually MY Nasi Lemak has better rice with a lot of coconut milk.

Our Nasi Lemak rice is not so fragrant.

Ya well I dun like so lemak lol

That’s why you said no good.

Nasi Lemak should be Lemak rather than chicken wing

Nasi lemak is all about the rice and chilli...goreng kacang and ikan bilis are added value...kuneng was a luxury...😁

I haven't been there for a while. But the chong pang carpark entrance coffeeshop with the hup lee beehoon, had a pretty decent malay nasi lemak, though bit on the more expensive side. around 5+ and above. haha it has pretty bad ratings on google maps now. 

I think coba coba the nasi lemak (chicken wing) also decent.

yishun park HC the ayam aliwang also ok bah. 

All malay versions. 

 

Not really a fan of chinese nasi lemak.

Flashback to when Lau Wong say cannot anyhow raise wages of workers in 2022: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/lawrence-wong-alliance-action-lower-wage-workers-minimum-salaries-jobs-2962856

Now instead landlords raise rental massively, gahmen raise GST, and Ukraine war raise oil and food prices so how? Can control these rises also to prevent "unintended consequences"?

true...

as for Punggol Nasi Lemak, i think i never ate for more than 10 years 😁

i can find $3+ nasi lemak elsewhere and it taste much better 

I will rather go Adam road or Changi Village.

Really curious what's the main cause or contributing factors of price surges for olive oil?

One popular brand I have been using has the RSP increase from $28 range to $45 and promo price from $19.90 to $35 in last 18 months.

Heard is due to olives not able to grow due to climate change

I also just Google the contributing factors.

Maybe Australia should use their land to plant more olive tree.

Something doesn't add up here. The flat is 3.5 years old only? Means haven't reach MOP?

From another report, you might have missed it.

Notably, the unit sold was only 3.5 years old with 96 years remaining on its 99-year lease. The property’s status as a replacement flat under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) allowed the owners to sell the unit after seven years from registration, or five years from the date of key collection – whichever is earlier, explains Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA.
