\u201cDo you have <\/span>nasi lemak goreng<\/span><\/i> in Singapore?\u201d I curiously queried Aaron, my colleague and go-to information on Singaporean delicacies. He shook his head no in response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first thought that got here to my thoughts was \u201cDang, the Singaporeans are missing out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I recalled the somewhat hazy first time I used to be launched to this sinful, calorie-laden <\/span>nasi lemak- <\/span><\/i>impressed dish. After one too many gin and tonics, I swung by a close-by native<\/span> mamak f<\/span><\/i>or the final word post-drinking supper (by a advice of a buddy): the <\/span>nasi lemak goreng<\/span><\/i>. One chew and my booze-soaked tastebuds had been hooked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chef<\/p>\n

So when phrase unfold of an ex-hotel chef turning heads together with his <\/span>nasi lemak goreng<\/span><\/i>, I used to be intrigued. Time to make a visit to <\/span>Chef Fauzey Nasi Lemak Goreng<\/b>, which is positioned in <\/span>Old Town<\/b>, <\/span>PJ<\/b>. Clang! Clang! Clang! The audible sound of Chef Fauzey frying the rice in his big wok alongside the assortment of<\/span> nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> fixings and an enormous vat of <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i>\u2014 I knew I used to be in the suitable place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What I attempted at Chef Fauzey Nasi Lemak Goreng<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201c<\/span>Mak cik<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Nasi Lemak Goreng dengan Ayam Goreng Berempah satu <\/i><\/b>(RM9)<\/b>,\u201d I positioned my order excitedly to the auntie patiently ready to take my order. For these of you who’re unfamiliar with<\/span> Bahasa Melayu<\/span><\/i>, that interprets to \u2018one order of fried <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> with the spiced fried chicken\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chef<\/p>\n

The kind-looking auntie (which I later found is Chef Fauzey\u2019s spouse) strikes at lightning velocity as she tops off my big plate of <\/span>nasi lemak goreng <\/span><\/i>with a beneficiant pool of <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i>, cucumber slices, fried prawn and their famed <\/span>ayam goreng berempah<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chef<\/p>\n

I discovered a seat close by and wasted no time digging into the inviting plate of <\/span>nasi lemak goreng<\/span><\/i>. This was not your bizarre <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> rice\u2014 as an alternative of the standard white coconut milk rice, Chef Fauzey fries the<\/span> santan<\/span><\/i> rice together with his selfmade <\/span>sambal <\/span><\/i>within the fiery wok.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Stall<\/p>\n

I used to be additionally delighted to be taught that the <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i> is cooked for 4 entire hours each morning. Talk about dedication! And this meant that each chew of the scrumptious rice was full of <\/span>wok hei<\/span><\/i> and had a delicate spicy flavour. Having <\/span>wok hei <\/span><\/i>flavoured <\/span>sambal <\/span><\/i>rice as an alternative of standard <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> rice was definitely an fascinating expertise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I paired the rice with extra of the selfmade <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i>, secretly hoping for spicy <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i> to additional elevate the flavours. Unfortunately the <\/span>sambal <\/span><\/i>was very a lot on the milder facet, so it didn\u2019t actually elevate the style of the rice. But it\u2019s good for many who are unable to tolerate warmth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

Hoping to get some respite from the <\/span>sambal,<\/span><\/i> I dug my fork into the<\/span> ayam goreng berempah<\/span><\/i>. For these of you who’re unfamiliar, <\/span>ayam goreng berempah<\/span><\/i> or spiced fried rooster is a kind of Malay fried rooster that is stuffed with herbs and spices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And I’ve to say, Chef\u2019s Fauzey\u2019s<\/span> ayam goreng berempah <\/span><\/i>is out of this world! It\u2019s crunchy, it\u2019s juicy, has a lightweight crispy crust and bursting with the fragrant flavours of recent herbs and spices in it. This after all comes from Chef Fauzey\u2019s double-frying technique.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

In reality, the <\/span>ayam goreng berempah <\/span><\/i>was so yummy that my eating companion prompt we order one other two. Why not, proper? I shook my head fortunately and seconds later, I used to be tearing right into a well-marinated drumstick with crispy pores and skin. Oh glad days!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

Before I lose observe simply speaking in regards to the <\/span>ayam goreng berempah<\/span><\/i>, the fried prawn can also be extraordinarily flavourful and to not point out, on the candy facet. Honestly for <\/span>RM9,<\/span><\/i> this can be very reasonably priced because the portion of rice is ample for a very huge eater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 9pm however prospects are nonetheless queuing up for a style of the <\/span>nasi lemak goreng<\/span><\/i>. As anticipated the <\/span>ayam goreng berempah<\/span><\/i> is sort of all offered out.<\/span><\/p>\n
