The_King Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 What a feeling it is, queuing up in this beastly weather to get your hands on some good nosh… But you can’t savour it immediately, ’cos there are no dine-in seats. Sadness. Folks who have been to Dickson Nasi Lemak at Joo Chiat may have experienced the above. The nearly two-year-old takeaway nasi lemak joint was opened by Hoh Loyi, 24, the owner of bolo bao specialty cafe Champion Bolo Bun. It was named after Dickson Road in Little India, which was previously a potential location for the nasi lemak shop before plans fell through. The KL-born Loyi launched a traditional nasi lemak concept as the antithesis of her mod cafe. Like her first biz, Dickson Nasi Lemak also took off ’cos it was like a local version of KL’s famous Village Park Restaurant nasi lemak — the ayam berempah (spiced fried chicken), rice and other fixings are cooked according to a recipe provided by a chef who used to work at Village Park for 15 years. 1of3 Upcoming dine-in outlet at Tanjong Pagar Come June 2024, folks working in the CBD will be able to tuck into a plate of Dickson nasi lemak. The brand will open its first dine-in outlet at Icon Village, which is a very short walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT station. 2of3 Loyi tells 8days.sg that the outlet’s decor and seating capacity are still in the works, as is the menu. But customers can expect “the usuals that Dickson Nasi Lemak is selling right now”, like Ayam Goreng Berempah Nasi Lemak (currently from $6.90), Chicken Rendang Nasi Lemak (currently from $8.30), and Basic (currently from $3.30). Each option comes with coconut milk-infused rice, fried anchovies and peanuts, cucumbers, sambal, and the customer's choice of a hardboiled egg or fried egg (top up for the latter). There are also a la carte beverages like Teh Peng, Kopi Peng, Iced Bandung and Iced Green Tea to make your nasi lemak a set meal. 3of3 Singaporean breakfast classics But other than just serving nasi lemak, Loyi is also expanding her menu at Tanjong Pagar. She shares that it will be “kopitiam-style”, and includes “some Singaporean breakfast classics like the local egg-and-toast set with local drinks”. She adds: “There will be one or two surprise items too, but we’re still in the midst of finalising the menu.” Dickson Nasi Lemak is at 320 Joo Chiat Rd, S427571 (Joo Chiat outlet) and #01-89/90 Icon Village, 12 Gopeng St, S078877 (Tanjong Pagar outlet opening circa June 2024). www.dicksonnasilemak.com Photos: Dickson Nasi Lemak No part of this story or photos can be reproduced without permission from 8days.sg. 8days.sg is now on #tiktok!
