R.A. Nasi Lemak — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Wednesday 29 January 2025 - it's first day of Chinese New Year. It's a holiday. Drove out here to eat their nasi lemak.

This place existed for at least more than 30-35 years. It is actually a house, converted into an eatery.

The nasi lemak is cooked and kept in a wooden drum/barrel with wooden lid. With either pandan leaves or banana leaves in it, it gives the extra fragrance.

The owner will pass you a plate of nasi lemak rice, and the rest is self pick self service. Take whatever they are on offer and display on the counter.

You'll be charged accordingly. Food is still good. Having eaten here from time to time for more than 30 years.

Cash and e-wallet payment accepted. However, they...

Depending on what you have on your plate, we only paid RM30+ for 4 pax. Park by the side of the road at your own risk or go around Jln Kamunting, park at the allocated spaces...

Used to be one of my favourite go to Nasi Lemak but sadly quality is not there anymore. Nasi lemak wasn’t as fragrant although they still use the old drum to keep the rice in tact with flavours. Sambal was not spicy anymore and diluted. Cockles gravy was just okay, no more kangkung served with their nasi lemak, just timun. Kacang without bilis, server overcharged the nasi lemak, must always check with them the price they put in the paper. I got charged for something I didn’t order and gotta convinced them 3 times I didn’t take the extra item they charged. too expensive for a plate of nasi lemak which isn’t that...
