The 7 Best Nasi Lemak Spots in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 7 picks

The best nasi lemak in Singapore in 2026 is Selera Rasa and No. 1 Adam's at Adam Road Food Centre, International and Mizzy Corner at Changi Village, and Ponggol Nasi Lemak on Tanjong Katong Road. The Coconut Club on Beach Road is the restaurant pick, and Kitchenman is Michelin-listed.

Nasi lemak is rice steamed in coconut milk and pandan, served with sambal chilli, crisp ikan bilis (anchovies), peanuts, cucumber and egg, plus fried chicken or other sides. In Singapore you can eat it at a hawker stall for around S$4–7 or at a sit-down restaurant for S$17 and up. Many hawker stalls are Muslim-owned, but that is not the same as MUIS halal certification, so ask or check the MUIS register if halal matters to you. Hawker centres close for cleaning a few times a year, and stalls often sell out of the best chicken by lunch.
