Grilled Pork Chop Nasi Lemak (MYR 11.90 nett) at
PopCorn Food Court, Midvalley Mall. We did not want any sambal so they poured rendang gravy all over the rice. The deep fried egg has a nearly fully cooked yolk and very crispy sides. The pork chop is thin and the taste is acceptable.
Price is acceptable too.
Hugh Low Street Nasi Lemak booth in the PopCorn Food Court. Is there a famous nasi lemak in Ipoh located in Hugh Low Street (Jalan Sultan Iskandar)?
Rendang is nice and such a big piece of chicken. Hope the rice is very lemak - that's the main thing I pay attention to. Btw, I wonder the uninitiated in general would pronounce Hugh. :D
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, this is pork chop, not chicken. How do you think they would pronounce Hugh, as Huge?
DeletePopcorn is definitely on my to-go list! I wouldn't have so much gravy though, would want to taste the rice.
ReplyDeletecorrect. Don't know why they quickly pour the gravy onto the rice without asking the customers.
DeletePork chop with nasi lemak is something I love to try.
ReplyDeleteCan try if you ever drop by KL for a visit.
Deletelol, now they use a colonial street name for nasi lemak...I only know of Ipoh chicken rice, Ampang Yong Tau Foo or Klang Bak Kut Teh....which usually goes by town name.
ReplyDeleteIt is not that they simply use that street name I guess. Like in Ampang, there is a popular Yong Tau Foo shop and in Klang, Bak Kut Teh eateries are everywhere so the question is: is there a popular nasi lemak stall in Hugh Low Street in Ipoh or used to be a popular stall there?
Deleteyea, that's the point, unless the Hugh Low street has popular nasi lemak stall or the entire street has many stalls selling nasi lemak. Non Ipoh-ian wouldn't know where is Hugh Low street whatmore if there is a popular nasi lemak stall, but if u mention about a 'town' or 'state' (such as 'Penang' rojak), it can be easily identified.
DeleteSo I assume that many, many, many years ago, during the colonial times, perhaps Hugh Low street did have a popular nasi lemak stall. See if I can find out why this stall is named Hugh Low Street Nasi Lemak.
DeleteIf there is a popular nasi lemak stall in Hugh Low Street in Ipoh, then I haven't tasted it. The younger people will not know about Hugh Low Street because it has been renamed to Jalan Sultan Iskandar. The nasi lemak looks delicious but I would want the sambal.
ReplyDeletethanks for the info. yes, sambal is an integral part of nasi lemak. :)
DeleteI would want my gravy separate
ReplyDeletecouldn't stop them in time.
DeleteHey Mun, none that I know of... the nearest one is the nasi ganja which is along Jalan Yang Kalsom adjacent to Hugh Low..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. what a mystery. why use that old name of that road?
DeleteI have never had any pork chop nasi lemak and I would like some! Don't think I can find any in my area.
ReplyDeleteI guess you seldom or never visit Midvalley Mall.
