So much so that almost every state in the country has its very own take on the traditional nasi lemak recipe. Mana-mana jua, where you find Malaysians, you will find nasi lemak. However, when we talk about places that serve nasi lemak, only a small handful of popular names come to mind. In which case, can you find these 6 deliciously hidden nasi lemak places in the Klang Valley?

Along Jalan Chan Sow Lin, conveniently shaded from the sun by trees, one can find Nasi Lemak Warong SinarNor. Run from a stall (as most good food haunts are), Warong SinarNor serves a delicious nasi lemak that keeps customers coming back repeatedly. But the highlight of the stall has to be its ayam goreng rempah (chicken fried with spices). Light, crispy, and high on flavor, it goes superbly with a heaping serving of nasi with sambal.
Address: Jalan Dua, Off Jalan Chan Sow Lin, 55200, Kuala Lumpur
Operating hours: Daily (6:30 AM-11:30AM)

With prices that start at RM4 and a spicy-sweet sambal sotong that pulls crowds in at all hours of the day, it’s no wonder that it is considered to be a staple of the Kampung Baru food scene. Moreover, Pak Hassan also offers a delicious roti canai for those who want a lighter alternative to rice.

Mali’s Corner is another underrated feature on this list, as most folks outside of the Setapak area would likely have not heard about it. Run from a curbside stall, eager customers are usually seen lining up well ahead of time. The nasi lemak and kway teow basah come highly recommended! But be sure to come during the evenings, as they are only open past 5:30 PM.
Address: Mali’s Corner, Gerai Makan Radziah, Jalan Malinja 2, Taman Bunga Raya, 53300, Kuala Lumpur
Operating Hours: Daily (5:30PM-4:30AM)
