Was thrilled to see that Lemak had opened recently in the city because of the promise of good food for good value. Tried it out with Brisvegustation just before his trip overseas last year. We were lucky enough also to have gone when McArthur Central decided to do some lunch vouchers, so we ordered with those.
Arriving early, there wasn't too much of a wait for food. Staff were friendly and efficient, we even got to meet the owner who graciously shouted us some peach tea and mango tea.
We ended up with two dishes with the same main but different carbs. Just goes to show what the star of the show is I guess. We shared the carbs for variety though. This was the fried chicken with dry noodles that Brisvegustation ordered. The noodles were done fairly well, not too soft and not too firm and the curry sauce provided ample hydration and flavour.
I opted for the rice option and had a nasi goreng with signature fried chicken. Compared to my last instance with their rice being too soft, this iteration was done quite well and the rice was quite flavoursome and a little bit spicy. The chicken was of course the highlight, being crispy on the outside, not oily and also very moist, in the words of Dr L, it's like the hot and spicy variant of KFC without the spice. It was nice to have the half egg and cucumber for variance, but a bit more greens would have made the dish more balanced. Having said that, for the price, there were no complaints from me, and it made for a fast and cheap meal for days I forget my lunch. Will no doubt be back.
