Underwhelming Nasi Lemak — expected more

I was looking forward to Nasi Lemak here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The richly coconut-sweet character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with lemongrass or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

the cuisine blends Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Peranakan traditions in a unique fusion. The a Michelin-starred hawker stall setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Tiger beer was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
