Was scrolling around social media and got to know about the existence of So Good Nasi Lemak in the Meetup coffeeshop at the foot of Blk 352 Clementi Avenue 2 — these folks do seem like quite a recent addition to the coffeeshop. To those whom are familiar with the address, So Good Nasi Lemak is located within the same neighbourhood as 353 Clementi Avenue 2 Food Centre; the coffeeshop is also the same one that houses Hoy Yong Seafood Restaurant. Located in one of the stalls in the middle of the coffeeshop, So Good Nasi Lemak is a stall that is hard to miss considering the bold design of its signage; whilst the establishment does seem to serve its Nasi Lemak offering in sets, patrons do get the flexibility of adding on other items that are available which are displayed in the display case at an additional cost should they fancy doing so.

So Good Nasi Lemak does not describe the elements that are included with their Nasi Lemak; with that being said, it can be observed from our order of the Nasi Lemak with Chicken Wing — this comprises of the usual suspects such as the sambal chili, peanut and anchovies, sunny side-up, as well as cucumber slices that would accompany that of the coconut milk-infused rice and the chicken wing; there is also the inclusion of fried crumbs on the side that is similar to that of the hushpuppies that comes with the offerings of fried fish / fried chicken with fries at Long John Silvers, while we opt for the addition of a Begedil for our order. Digging into the coconut milk-infused rice first, the rice does come with a soft and fluffy consistency — there is definitely evident notes of coconut milk amidst the rice that one can detect at the back of the tongue as well. Pairing it up with the sambal chili, the sambal does carry a sweet note though also comes with a fiery punch; the portion of sambal chili served with the Nasi Lemak also does come across as pretty generous at the same time as well compared to what one would expect to find from other establishments — the best way to enjoy the coconut milk-infused rice is to have it with the sambal, anchovies and the fried crumbs all in one spoonful. The fried chicken wing that accompanies the Nasi Lemak with Chicken Wing does marinated with turmeric for an extra flavour; considering how these were pre-fried ahead of time when we visited So Good Nasi Lemak for dinner service, the chicken wing did feel like it lost quite a bit of moisture — not quite as juicy nor tender as what we had expected it to be, while the batter is also a little bit on the thicker side. Sunny side-up does come with a runny yolk and a soft egg white without any undesirable notes of overused oil, while the anchovies remain crisp without being overly salty as well.
