A tribute to the once-great Power Nasi Lemak

[kxingstar]

Years and years ago, us Westies could depend on the famous stall in Boon Lay Place Village Village for one of the best plates of nasi lemak in Singapore. 

However, things seemed to change when Power Nasi Lemak started to become commercialised, with outlets opening all around Singapore and even in Changi Airport.

The chicken no longer stayed crispy, the egg yolk no longer runny, and the rice became clumpy. Luckily, the sambal more or less remained the same.

They're an amazing business story, but too bad for us food lovers in the west, the overall quality dropped.

Still, many good memories remain. I wish them all the best.

Just looking at the pic, I can imagine how nicely the sambal mixes with the rice. Tempted to buy a pack this weekend.

I'm also tempted...until I remember one serving of nasi lemak is around 700 calories.   Probably even more for power nasi lemak.
