Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak (Boon Lay Place)

While all the other stalls in the hawker centre are closed for the day, Boon lay power nasi lemak operates into the wee hours of the night. Sounds like a superb idea for supper.

We had crispy chicken wings, fragrant rice,  tasty burgerdale ( Fried potato patty) The sambal chilli was really good. Really makes a sinful and yet very satisfying meal. Worth a try.

PNL's queue never ends with the constant flow of customers which means that the food is always freshly prepared! Plus, despite being so busy, the people at PNL always appear energetic, smily, with a ready-to-serve attitude. (No wonder they got awarded Winner of the Best Nasi Lemak this year in January for the Hawker Masters award - aimed at celebrating hawker food and giving deserving hawkers recognition!)

I love their very well cooked rice that is not too oily or dry and the chicken wing which is very crispy and tasty! Love the sweet and flavorful meat with a saltish crust. The ikan billis and peanut were very crunchy but sadly my sunny side up didn't have runny egg yolk unlike the one Makan Boy had some time back when he was with his friends.

Sambal chilli plays a super important role in Nasi Lemak but I am always more than happy to just eat the rice and ingredients without it. Plus, their chilli was abit spicy for me..

After our meal over at Ippudo, Makan Boy and friends wanted to find some good supper to satisfy their growing hunger pangs. Where else? Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak! 

Recently, Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak came up as the dark horse to grab the crown for the best nasi lemak in this year's Singapore Hawker Masters. A few other popular nasi lemak stalls such as Changi Village's International Nasi Lemak and Adam Road's two nasi lemak stalls were also nominated. 

As expected, there was a queue there but not too bad. I have seen even longer queues.To lessen confusion and faster processing, we all ordered the same food combinations. $3 bucks for chicken wing, bagedil and egg. Ok, reasonably pricing.

Their fried chicken wing was really Power! I always must order that whenever I come here to eat. As for their rice, it's fragrant enough but nothing stellar. The chilli was addictive though. Very nice. My friend commented that even their egg yolk was runny. Hahahah! In case you missed it, that was in reference to both the eggs of Ramen Champion and Ippudo.

Verdict:

If you want supper and good supper then this is nasi lemak is the go-to option. According to its website, it have a few other outlets as well. I never try the other outlets before so I'm not too sure whether the consistency of the food is there.

My cousin was joking that, since his friend's cousin's wife was not at the stall this evening, the Nasi Lemak was not 'power' at all.

It was another of those eating sessions that my cousins and me did, and this time round, we ventured west to have a taste of this famed Nasi Lemak.

We were pretty drawn to the tray of sotongs but decided to be so-called healthy and settle for a standard Nasi Lemak, which comprised of ikan bilis with roasted peanuts, chicken wing and a fried egg.

Another cousin commented that though the rice had a slight tinge of pandan, it was slightly wet. We would have preferred it a little drier. =) But the fried chicken wing was good and still crispy though it looked as though it had been out the pan for quite some time. What really caught my attention was the use of the egg round (??) to contain the egg while frying it!! It was quite a sight to see many egg rounds on the frying pan!! =D

And yes, what was so power about the Nasi Lemak, was perhaps the chilli, which was an essential requirement for Nasi Lemaks!! =) Rather spicy and sufficiently thick, but unfortunately, it was a little too spicy for me, such that more than half was actually left behind after I wiped off everything on my plate.

The uncle, who served us, was rather humorous and cracked some pretty lame jokes, but, well, it entertained us while queuing for our turn. So that earned the so-called 'service' rating. =D

Not sure if I will return to visit this stall, as it is rather out of the way for many of us. BUT if any of us are in and around the area, we may really consider returning for a 2nd try, especially if my cousin's friend's cousin's wife is in the stall. Then maybe, we can really taste and see what 'power' truly is.
