Underwhelming Nasi Lemak — expected more

I was looking forward to Nasi Lemak here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The sweet-savoury balance character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with curry leaves or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Malaysian cuisine reflects the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous Orang Asli traditions of a multicultural society. The a Baba Nyonya Peranakan restaurant setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Anchor beer was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
