Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak (Square 2 @ Novena)

Whenever I bought lunch at Warung Kampung, I saw a long queue at Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak next door.

A quick search revealed that Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak is a hugely popular hawker stall that originated from Boon Lay Place. 

It is not only famous for their delicious nasi lemak but also for their late closing hours. Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak is open till 3.30am, satisfying many midnight hunger pangs. 

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Stall Front

I am thankful that Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak has a stall at the basement of Square 2 @ Novena so I don’t have to travel all the way to Jurong West. 

There is (sadly) no seating area so the only option is to takeaway. There is always a long queue during lunch hour but the queue moves pretty quickly. 

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Menu

There are 4 nasi lemak sets to choose from, priced at S$4.50 each: 

- Nasi Lemak Chicken Set

- Nasi Lemak Fish Set

- Nasi Lemak Fish Fillet Set

- Nasi Lemak Otah Set

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Nasi Lemak Chicken Set

This is the Nasi Lemak Chicken Set [S$4.50]. The serving is extremely generous, the packet was almost bursting. 

I like that the coconut rice is still warm when I tucked in with a detectable coconut fragrance. 

The sambal is sweeter than I expected and not spicy at all, even a non-spicy like me enjoyed it. 

The ikan bilis and peanuts are wonderfully crispy. The fried chicken is nice but definitely not the best I have had. My favorite is still the fried chicken from Hup Lee Fried Bee Hoon in Chong Pang. 

You can also order nasi padang with a choice of coconut rice or white rice. Here are a few of the dishes I tried: 

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Beef Rendang

The Beef Rendang [S$3.50] is not as tender as those from Warung Kampung but for $3.50 you get 3-4 pieces which is still quite worth it. 

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Eggplant

The Terung Sambal (Eggplant/Brinjal) is neither too soft nor too hard and the sambal gives it a little sweetness which is nice. 

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Sotong Hitam

Sotong Hitam [S$3.50] is squid cooked in squid ink. It is non-spicy and fragrant dish. 

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Sotong Merah

Sotong Merah [S$3.50] is very spicy, so eat with caution. The sotong is fried with dried shrimp paste and it is very fragrant but very spicy. Tears were rolling down my face and my mouth was numb with the spiciness. 

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak - Begedil

Begedil [S$1] is Indonesian Deep Fried Potato Patty and it is commonly found in Malay stalls. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
