Bukit Damansara / Lake Gardens · Kuala Lumpur

Tucked in a modest food complex near the Lake Gardens, this stall has been wrapping banana-leaf nasi lemak since 1948. Its sambal is milder and sweeter than most, and the rice is famously soft and fragrant, making it a favourite breakfast stop for civil servants and old-timers alike.
🙂 Can try — we've eaten here
Average to decent on our visit — worth a stop if you're already nearby, but not one to travel across town for.
