Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa
As noted in the name, Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa is famous because they have an international clientele, as displayed proudly on their blackboard. It was started by a lady named Normi Tandoh in the 1970s, and was supposedly named as a tribute to a Malaysian Airlines pilot who faithfully packed several nasi lemak on his travels.
Original signage is hung alongside the new
It is not your typical nasi lemak stall, and not for the faint of heart, as they offer dishes that may make a few young'uns a little faint, innards such as lungs, liver, etc. For the traditional though, there are regular dishes such as ayam masak merah, sambal udang petai, and paru goreng.
The signature sambal is a balanced blend of sweet and spicy, a great condiment with the fluffy coconut rice, and servings adhere to the obligatory portion of peanuts, anchovies, slices of cucumber over banana leaf.
Kelapa Fruitti
This small unassuming stall sits by Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, and is well-received by the locals in our humid weather. Owned by a cheerful couple, you cannot help but root for their delicious coconut and fruit drinks and creative business practices. With over 20 choices of fresh fruit to mix into the refreshing, cold coconut water, they even add extra fruits of your choice, chocolate syrup and ice cream for RM1 each.
Multifarious colours meet coconut shake
We recommend the Kelapa VIP (RM5,) a large cup of coconut juice and flesh, topped with a hefty scoop vanilla ice cream and completed with a chocolate syrup drizzle. The smiles aren’t just for show either, the customer service here is impeccable, just ask the customers that the husband is rushing drinks over to in the nearby mosque, clad happily in his Superman T-shirt.
Royally refreshing, perfect with the nasi lemak we just wolfed down
