Mei Mei’s nasi lemak with fried chicken earns unanimous praise for its fragrant coconut rice and crispy, juicy chicken, creating a warmly satisfying, homey vibe that feels both comforting and authentic.
“This is the coconut infused rice, some cucumbers go on the side, then moving over for that sambal. Yes. And then the crispy anchovies. Oh, you got to have peanuts. Great. And then over to the egg, the wok station, the egg drops into the oil. Oh, bubbles up with that yolk in the center. Beautiful. Egg is ready. In the meantime, a fresh batch of fried chicken is ready. Chopped up. Slide that onto the rice. Oh, and the egg goes directly on top of the fried chicken. Wow, that is fully loaded nasi lemak. The fragrant rice, the sambal, the anchovies, fried chicken, the fried egg on top. The rice is cooked well, every individual grain of rice. I crack the egg, pop the yolk. Let that yolk run into the rice. Get a little bit of peanuts. Scoop in with the yolk. Get a little bit of that sambal on here as well. All the different texture: peanut, the runny yolk, the creamy yolk. The salty sweetness of the sambal, like the garlicky shalloty flavor. So good. The fried chicken batter is nicely seasoned. A little bit peppery. With the juicy moist chicken on the center. This western style fried chicken. It's very good. Actually, it's fantastic that you can get Malaysian Singaporean food, nasi lemak, right at Borough Market in the heart of London. Highly recommended.”
