They have 3 kinds of nasi lemak on their menu. Ayam goreng berempah ($8.60) for those who want a huge fried chicken. Biasa ($4.80) for those who prefer the basic nasi lemak. They also have a kid's set ($3.80). These are the ala cart set or you can get their Set A and B that comes with drinks. 

They solely serve takeout and have a really well-organized operation. Their employees will go out and inform you of the wait time, and once you get at the counter, you will place your order and be handed a buzzer. You have the option of waiting inside or outside the business. There was no room for a sit-down meal.

Their nasi lemak is served in a plastic box. The rice smelled really fragrant upon opening and also has a coconutty taste that wasn't overwhelming. 

For ease of eating, the fried chicken drumstick was sliced into three pieces. How considerate of them!?! I can also see that the skin was absolutely crispy, with plenty of crumbs on top and those threads of lemongrass poking out. Parts of the chicken were dyed yellow because of the use of turmeric. The meat is tender and flavourful. 

The sambal has a lot of flavors and was created with a staggering 18 components.

Despite how excellent it was, I wish they had delivered a complete egg instead of a half for the price point.
