Translate: On 30/4/2014 around 9PM I went to eat at an unknown/not sure restaurant along Jalan Bukit TImbalan JB, I had ordered Nasi Goreng Kampung and warm water. After I ate the Nasi Goreng Kampung, I found out that it is very hot and taste so spicy. Until today I can still feel the burn of the rice that I ate yesterday. I suspect they cook the Nasi Goreng and put too much Chilli. The purpose of this report is because of dissatisfaction of the food I ate yesterday and want to do a checkup at the Hospital.

I haven't gone there for 2 years... food is ok.. didn't know they have increased the price so much.. i def would not buy at this price.. but people actually still queue up to buy http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporesc...-072001302.html Is this nasi lemak worth S$8.30? This plate of nasi lemak had a drumstick, two kuning fish, an egg, some peanuts and anchovies. Its price: S$8.30. The local fare was served at a nasi lemak stall along Upper Serangoon Road with a long queue of hungry customers at 10:30 pm. While the food was delicious, does it warrant a price tag of S$8.30? A plate of nasi lemak usually costs between S$3 to S$6, depending on the dishes picked. Many Yahoo! Singapore readers debated on Facebook on whether the price was reasonable. Some justified that this is a sign of Singapore's rising inflation. Teo Buay Hiang said, "Inflation!!! Rental and cost of food and oil are rocket high therefore high price. Hope our new Minister for MND will help to bring rental down and AVA which is under his wing too, to bring the cost of food down." "Inflation aside, some of these hawkers have been over-hyped and glorified to the extend that they can slap obscene prices on the customers. Blame it on the ever-popular food blogs," commented Holly Zhang. Felix Yeo likened the nasi lemak stall to a podcast about a bah chor mee stall by popular blogger mrbrown. "The hawker is trying to set the benchmark. This price increase must be pegged to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)," Yeo said. Another user Amos Poh put things into perspective and said, "Wah.. 30cts more than a heart bypass." However, some users reasoned that the quality of the nasi lemak justifies its price. Cindy Peck said "it's this kinda price at Ponggol Nasi Lemak. It's very expensive but it's very yummy!"

$14.10 for these 2 plates... omg... i've eaten at this place and ta pau many times... also at katong there that one... my average packet or plate is like $3-$4 since years ago... but that day my friend lost me in darts and suggested to eat there... he couldnt believe his ears/eyes when told of the price for the 2plates we had...... is this normal sia? bloody expensive nasi lemak... yes i admit its nice, but nothing out of this world... and i hate Qs... so i only eat once in a blue moon when not so crowded or someone else is lining up...

I have been following them for years since the sembawang market days.. but lately i feel the food is getting worse lately .. chix wings are over cooked.. rice not as before.. not sure if this is becus of the PRC workers they have hired .. obviously the standard is getting from bad to worse ..:( any one with similar thoughts?

http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/03/12/famous-nasi-padang-restaurant-at-zion-road-shutting/ Famous nasi padang restaurant at Zion Road shutting March 12th, 2014 | Author: Editorial The famous nasi padang restaurant at Zion Road. (Photo: ST) The famous nasi padang restaurant at Zion Road, River Valley, will be closing down on 28 March 2014. It has been selling nasi padang at River Valley since 1957 i.e. more than half a century. It moved to its current location at Zion Road in 1998. It is popular for its beef rendang, curry chicken and sambal sotong, among many other dishes. Last December, it was given a one-year lease and rental had gone up by $1,000 to $11,000. The restaurant owner said, “The landlord said that he can ask me to leave with just three months’ notice. So maybe he has a better deal with other people.” The owner revealed that currently they can only earn enough to “break even”. He does not rule out moving to a smaller place with lower rental. He added, “We have already asked our staff to look for other jobs. If it’s God’s will, we may reopen somewhere else. But for now, we want to take a break.” The owner also cited lack of manpower and high food costs as other factors for closing down. In fact, the restaurant had moved to its present location from the unit to its immediate right (as one faces it) about 10 years ago. It moved because the previous landlord had raised the rent to an unbearable level. The previous landlord then rented his shop to another nasi padang restaurant. When the famous nasi padang restaurant moved next door, it placed a sign in front of the new premises to indicate that it was the original, famous nasi padang restaurant, so that returning customers would not patronise the wrong nasi padang restaurant. The nasi padang restaurant that had taken its place did not do well and closed soon after. Now it looks like even the famous, original nasi padang restaurant has fallen prey to high costs and will be closing down. Meanwhile, a 99-year residential site in Yishun reportedly drew a record bid of $278.8 million from EL Development at the close of a state tender yesterday (11 Mar). The bid was higher than expected and a record for the area. EL Development’s bid for the 221,239 sq ft parcel works out to $450 per square foot (psf) per plot ratio (ppr). This is higher than the range of $390 psf ppr to $431 psf ppr that consultants had earlier predicted. OrangeTee research said that it is a historical high for a purely residential private plot in Yishun, with the previous record being $406 psf ppr in August 2010 for a land parcel that has been developed into The Miltonia Residences. EL Development plans to build 600 to 660 condominium units on the plot. Despite the high price, a property consultant said, “Developers are mindful of the changing tides and softening of the market.” Consultants estimate a break-even price of $925 psf to $940 psf for the site and a selling price of at least $1,000 psf.

Dear Distinguished bros and Sis of MCF..., I always notice that when I buy the Nasi Lemak after pumping petrol at Shell , quite a lot of it is sold out.. I dont really like the taste.. I buy it for my dad who loves it... What do you think? Is it nice? Most of them who buy it are drivers of S and E plate vehicles.. [rolleyes] The price.. No joke in terms of Malaysian context.. RM3 for the chicken one and RM2 for the egg , fish or mee hoon...

STOMPer sagiko paid $9 for a plate of nasi lemak at Food Republic (Vivo City) and thinks it may win the title for 'the most expensive nasi lemak of the year'. The STOMPer said: "I was at the Chong Pang Nasi Lemak stall at Food Republic Vivo City. "I knew that nasi lemak here would be expensive so I was prepared to pay $6 or $7 for my 3 dish meal. "It turned out to be $9. The vegetable cost $1.20, a small curry chicken for $3 and a few pieces of sotong for $4. "A total rip off! It can definitely win the title for the most expensive nasi lemak of the year!" http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...e_it_costs.html

Every single day long queue is seen lingering at one particular corner of changi village hawker centre so out of curiosity , I joined in the queue and finally gotten my first taste of the so-called power nasi lemak. The first thing that comes to my mind was , "what the...." My friend gotten charged 6 bucks for adding some miserable fish cake and fillet. Maybe you can share with me your views on the nasi lemak stall???? I have tried other stall's and no only thnere is no queue, the quality is roughly the same and cheaper too. Im not trying to be fussy about what I eat but to me, in order for one to queue ..wasting precious time , I expect the best lor. Share with me your encounter or views lor....

Does anybody knows where I can find a good DUM nasi briyani restaurant in Singapore? I prefer the slightly damp nasi briyani, not the dry ones. The rice is cooked together with the meat and rendang gravy. I used to like one restaurant called "Iniaval" along Chander Road (parallel between Race Course Road and Serangoon Road), but I guess the restaurant has gone now... their phone number no longer working. There are lots of DUM nasi briyani restaurants in Race Course Road and Chander Road, but many serve the dry ones unlike the slightly damp ones cooked by Iniaval. I've heard of Allauddin in Tekka market, but I've not eaten them. Where are they now? Do they serve the damp or the dry ones? Any recommendations welcome.
