Village Park NASI LEMAK - Best in MALAYSIA? 🇲🇾

[@yukinawa84]

For the ayam goreng berempah, no batter is used. The crispy part are the spices that were use to marinate the chicken. Usually people use lemongrass, coriander (seed), cumin, fennel (seed), a little bit of curry powder, ginger, shallot, garlic, chilli powder and turmeric.

[@Steve-Owens]

Thanks for the tips! I loved the crust it made, village park have it down pat..

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Yes..it is herbs and spices

[@Steve-Owens]

My favourite Nasi Lemak so far in Kuala Lumpur. Your thoughts. Had better?

[@cikradi3512]

You went to a right place for the best nasi lemak. The deep fried spicy chicken (ayam goreng berempah) is one of the best I ever had. Next you must looks for Ayam Percik..another my favourite kinda chicken. 🥰

[@rizlanghazali985]

Yes, my Mom's 😁

[@bestbeast74]

I had once or twice in Taman Tun.long time ago...very fatty/ coconut flavoured rice...but Village Park chicken is good..

[@jusnilezzatsamad3329]

Its up there... Alongside Wanjo's..

[@lendmioNoai]

Tbh.. love them all, the high ends and lows, each with thier own pros & cons.. but I'd always come back to the rm1/2 banana leaf parcelled ones.. (vendors, stalls & cafés) Although from miscellaneous cooks, deep insight into it.. I could feel behind the scenes scenarios of love and passion of a person trying their best to make ends meet/side income for a family.. 😢 The only cons is it's usually served as a cold bundle.

[@ivankjt]

Village Park nasi lemak is THE best for me. I've tried all the other so-called well known places but no one does it like Village Park. They are extremely consistent. If I could pick my last meal, this would be it.

[@faridahsulong5514]

Yes Steve. Belacan for chili sambal is made from shrimp paste. You need to cut a slice 1cm thick of belacan, tamarind paste, chili paste mixed and cook well in the work with little vege oil, onions, garlic with bit of salt for nice taste. You may add some sugar or brown sugar or palm sugar according to your taste. Awesome Bro!! Only in Malaysia + cucumber + egg + peanuts + bilis ...

It's slightly on the high side for the nasi lemak at village restaurant but what the heck! It's delicious.. Lunch time is crowded and parking is a problem there.

Yes, a little on the pricier side, hope that doesn't set a trend.. 👍👍

[@m.theresa1385]

That looks very delicious with all the flavors as expected, and the peanuts too. Maybe try a few more places just for comparison ? ;)) it looks like the chicken has a coating of marinade then gets tossed in the deep fry. I think it stays moist by cooking it in larger pieces, then hacking it.

[@Steve-Owens]

It's hard to say which is the best bcoz many Malays make wonderful nasi lemak. Have u tried nasi kerabu? U will like it too....the rice comes with some cabbage, tossed shaved coconut, fresh herbs, salted duck egg and delicious sambal. This Nasi Kerabu is harder to find than nasi lemak.

[@Steve-Owens]

I've so much to learn and taste.. :o)

[@bk3289]

Kelantan has the best selections of nasi kerabu- the Malay style and the Thai style, each has its slight twist of ulam and toppings.

Hey michelle and steve I think you are enjoying the best food ever in the world. Bon appetit. Life is short. Keep safe too.

[@Steve-Owens]

Hey buddy.. Thanks

[@redflamelcd]

Their fried chicken is next level. You could bread cardboard with that marinade/crust and it would taste great. I could just go there for that. Off the hook. 10/10. I think the egg is plain boiled along with cucumbers almost as a palate cleanser or to balance the fattiness and spiciness of the dish. If not it’s just too cloy. Usually I dislike cucumbers due to its lack of flavour but in nasi lemak it’s essential to offset the oil in the chicken and sambal and the richness in rice.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I see how tender and moist the chicken is. The crust is nice and crispy. That's what I like from that. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers, Steve and Michelle! ✌️

I tell you the best coconut milk is not in a can or box (instant version). The best one is the raw version, take the old coconut fruit, grind the white flesh in the coconut and get the grated coconut. After that squeeze it hard and you will get the coconut milk. Use this to cook nasi lemak.

The chicken is called Ayam goreng berempah. It’s has blended lemongrass, garlic, ginger mixed and marinade. Then they fry it altogether. That’s where the spices are all on the chicken skin.. I think that loudspeaker is to call on the delivery riders for orders from foodpanda and grab.

[@azharidris7092]

Steve don't you think the potion is a bit small.. but having said that its very well presented with a banana leaf lining to give it that touch of traditional aesthetic.. as for the sambal.. all good traditional Malay sambal should have Belacan ( shrimp paste ) as a foundations in the Sambal paste.. but i prefer the Siamese style sambal made with fish sauce as a substitute to Belacan.. but you only find these in the north.. i.e. in Penang and Kedah and in all the southern Thai Malay state.. but i also heard there's a really good posh breakfast place in Bangsar.. ( not sure if its still there ) worth checking that out..

I will say this regarding nasi lemak. A lot of the popular places being recommended on YT is allright but not the best. Some are probably even overated. Some of them used to be really really good, hence why they went viral in the first place but a lot of them kinda went from excellent to mehhh over the years. I'd say explore and try whatever looks good to you and be adventurous. You'll find some hidden gems along the way. Village Park is pretty allright but being the best? No..nope..nope nope
