Verdict is I like the taste of Tea Garden's nasi lemak better but the price here is better due to the smaller rice portion.

Tea or Poppo
Since we like the nasi lemak (coconut milk rice) at Tea Garden a lot, we had to go back to Poppo Kanteen to try their nasi lemak again to compare the taste to see which one we like better.
Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken - MYR8.90 nett. The portion of rice is quite small which is good for me as I am a small eater but this means there are too much sambal and curry sauce. The rice here has a slightly salty taste.
Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang MYR9.90 nett. Same case - too much sambal and beef rendang to match the small portion of rice. Next time, we will order one nasi lemak with a type of meat and then order just the plain rice for MYR1.80 nett to go with the sauce and sambal from the nasi lemak.
Verdict is I like the taste of Tea Garden's nasi lemak better but the price here is better due to the smaller rice portion.

Mutton Rendang or Curry Chicken never fail to tempt me as I go for strong and flavourful taste
ReplyDeleteI like both too.
DeleteNasi lemak. My favourite dish. Think of it, it has been a while since I had one. Usually I order either with fried chicken or curry chicken.
ReplyDeleteI think you can cook nasi lemak yourself at home since you are a good cook.
DeleteI like the word Poppo, sounds so cozy, and I think of old-fashioned home cooked food..Nasi lemak can never go wrong if the sambal is good, even kosong type..
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the kosong type. Thanks for dropping by. Miss you. Hope your baby is ok.
DeleteNever mind which is better - this one looks really very good too! If the rice is lemak enough, then any will good enough for me - that's my priority when it comes to nasi lemak and the rice must not be too dry and hard.
ReplyDeleteThe texture of the rice is fine, moist and not too soft nor hard but I am not sure whether it meets your high standard of lemak or not.
DeleteHmmm both look so delicious! I love nasi lemak with lots of sambal.
ReplyDeleteBecause this has less rice than sambal you will be eating sambal more than rice. :)
DeleteI cannot comment too much, because I have not tried the nasi lemak from either of these places. I probably won't in the near future too. But... in general, I think the best nasi lemak for me is still those we get from mamak, with runny egg yolk (which I will burst and cover the rice with) and fried chicken yum yums...
ReplyDeleteEh, RG, I thought you don't like runny yolks? I've not eaten both these nasi lemak, so I wouldn't know which one I'd prefer either.
DeleteCan recommend a nasi lemak that you have eaten that you think is the best so far?
DeleteI think RG wants the yolk to be either runny or hardboiled, no in between, neither here nor there, not 3 not 4 type.
DeleteGiven the choice, I still prefer fully cooked yolk over any other type. But I wouldn't mind runny yolk if it is with mamak nasi lemak. Just that my friends love sucking the yolk while I prefer to break the yolk to mix with the rice. My friends hate me for that.
DeleteHmm, I think most mamak nasi lemak has the same standards, can't really recommend any... :/
Hahaha, I like the way you write that your friends hate you because you write it as if you love that your friends hate you for doing it, hahahaha! :)
Deletei'm not a fan of Poppo Nasi Lemak...coz their sambal is on the sweet side...Tea Garden is still acceptable and I like the Tea Garden acar which comes with the nasi lemak.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the Tea Garden acar too.
DeleteWow, the sambal looks inviting, dear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteToo much sambal.
DeleteHey Mun, this morning I just took nasi lemak from Tea Garden... took it with the rendang chicken.. by the way, I notice the plate they served is kind of authentic... reminded me of the younger days where we used these for our meals..
ReplyDeleteI like their nasi lemak too.
DeleteI look at it and I am hungry hah..hah...
ReplyDeleteDinner time at 6.33pm so it is reasonable for you to be hungry. :)
DeleteOh nasi lemak makes me go jelly....I restrict myself by only eating once in a month. Looking at your pic, i got seduced by the nasi lemak. Hahha
ReplyDeleteIs eating nasi lemak so bad for health? I eat them like almost 3 times a week but not every week but at least once a week.
DeleteFood looks good here. But the paint on the plate in the last pic has chipped off so much. :(
ReplyDeleteI only noticed it when you mentioned it. I am sure there is no chipped paint in the food.
