I used to work here with the late Chef Eng Su, founder of The Coconut Club. The amount of R&D, effort, and thought that he put into this dish cannot be put into words. I'm glad that the recipe is in safe hands and its flavour is still upheld by the new restaurant group that bought over.
Why did they sell it to a new owner and for how much?
@@charliechan8541 the owner passed away sometimes ago. Not sure what happened afterwards
@@charliechan8541 lol, what you plans do you hav with tht information?
Maybe I got an off plate but when I went a month ago it tasted so bad. The chicken was super oily and salty, marination was kind of mediocre, rice wasn’t very lemak, ikan bills wasn’t freshly cooked. Beef rendang was SOOOOOTOUGH.
This Nasi Lemak used to cost only $16.80 when they were are Club Street
took the words out of my mouth! after learning abt the amount of study and work behind the dish and more importantly how it feels in the mouth, its reasonable enough to recommend to fans of nasi lemak despite the price it asks for. will return once in a while for a treat. gotta get their sambal platter too!
iirc, Coconut club uses GG French Poulet which is aka Anxin Chicken from Toh Thye San farm. The chickens are fed with corn diet, which by itself already have a slight yellow on the bone even without any seasoning or marination done on it.
So expensive yet you have to share the table with someone and have bicycles and e-bikes cycle across you. The only time I saw diners eating at the outside tables under the scorching sun are ang mohs preferring "alfresco dining".
I need the natural light for the shoot T_T if not I'll definitely prefer the AC with how the weather is nowadays.
@@Alderic. True, it's rather dim inside on L1 and gets quite noisy
And at any moment, a huge downpour can fall out of the sky! I hope you took your umbrella with you ;-)
Walked past this multiple times and was tempted to eat but every time I change my mind when I see the price XD
My Coconut Club experience is similar to Alderic's. I like it but I wont go back because of the price. Worth a try but difficult to justify a return trip.
Love ur interpretation on all the various nasi lemak keep up the good and honest reviews
dude i like your channel and review... dam good job and description man.. detailed yet relatable. subscribed!
Will you also be trying Wild Coco? It's also on the higher end but I think it's much much better than Coconut Club, and cheaper too.
yesss finally here been asking for it for a few eps
Great review!
Very in line with my own views about Coconut Club.
Great basic nasi lemak set.
Rice is solid with great sambal.
I actually think buying any of their side dishes spoils the experience for me. Not that the sides are terrible or what.
But the sides are for the bringing-your-european-client-out-for-posh-local-food occasions.
If ure just there alone or on a date. I feel its perfect just to have the basic set. Extra rice if u need to top up. And the kuehs. (Cakes there always look awesome too).
The smile before the compliments is always appreciated😮💨👏
Wow. Such an expensive nasi lemak. I'll have to go there one day to taste for myself how atas it is
After watching this nasi lemak series, i started to press on my rice to see the squish 😂😂
I tried adding coconutty flavour components to my rice, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of that. I do like coconut flavour, but perhaps not so much in my rice.
Loved ur videos.....great food review
Yes, also educational, like the idea of adding some chicken umami taste to the boiling of the rice.
5:09 that laughter😂
You should try nasi gurih in Aceh, Indonesia. Next to Masjid Raya Baiturrahman but only available in the very early morning.
Please try Bali Nasi Lemak ... wayyyy underrated
my fav nasi lemak! haven’t tried anything else that can top this.. of cos there’s the price you need to pay, so cannot eat everyday 🤭
Hmm, what I think you missed in this series was the true essence of Nasi lemak without all the frills - a simple, cheap packet of coconut rice, with sambal, egg, ikan bilis and maybe some peanuts and cucumber…and always in banana leaf.
Also, while all roads may lead to village park…look closer and you’ll find a secret narrow path, off the beaten track, to a makcik’s small stall in a kampung where nasi lemak heaven hides.
Find that path.
Respectfully, this nostalgia is saved for those who experienced it mixed with fond memories. Subjectively nothing beats what you mentioned, but objectively is another story.
or instead of finding a subpar nasi lemak boosted by your nostalgia, he could find a well-crafted one with a better flavour profile
@@hilaryho2362 it can't be objective if it wasn't even part of the series?
@@pongodongo645 how is it subpar if he hasn't even found and tried it?
Should try the K-Nasi Lemak from Jjinja Chicken for a wildcard entry
How does this compare to nale?
Quality review as always but at a hefty price this time 😁
Another place for you to try. Sinpopo serves great nasi lemak! But also to the pricey side.
yay get to be the first! do i win a plate of nasi lemak =DDD btw recovering from surgery, so unable to eat now, been just watching all your videos and it just hit the spot seeing u enjoy all that good food. loved the CKT series!
WOW !
Traditionally the top 2 legends for Nasi Lemaks in Singapore is the one at Adam Road and one at Changi where legend has it that the Sultan of where & where must stop by at each trip to SG. Surprised that both are not on Your radar. Or is that these 2 legends have long been ousted? 😬
I'd like to mix the egg yolk with the rice, as a kind of sauce.
Bone yellow could be kampung chicken.
Does that mean it's braised/slowcooked instead of grilled or fried?
Thanks!
thank you!!
Haha. Money is good. Truth.
Alderic: "Need to survive this month"
Also Alderic: Lets eat at the most expensive Nasi Lemak place.
On another note, what if Coconut club uses kampong chicken?
What is 'kampong chicken'? Is that a special kind of chicken, or is it the way how it is prepared?
@@PaulaBean Its a breed of chicken. They grow more slowly, and usually reared cage free. They taste way better than normal chicken and actually taste fragrant.
My eyes popped when I added up how much you spent for the meal.
Hope he gets it back from Google Adsense.
@@sumit6190p he's not getting it back..
@@Alderic. Haha that's the sad reality for upcoming youtubers. Try patron and collab with other media networks
I remember the sambal used to be better. My most recent visit some months ago didn’t give me that same feeling when I had it years back. Used to be my favourite Nasi Lemak spot, but at $21 now, it’s difficult to recommend.
Let’s get it boys
Bro i had to Google what's unctuous 😂😂😂😂😂
another day of asking alderic to try Akka's Nasi Lemak, there is a branch in SG but the original one is in Selangor, Malaysia
10:39 finest poetry
Truly, ART coming out of Alderic's mouth. Must be the special coconut milk effect.
Not 3 plates to me.......For that price I was expecting more than just stunning flavours but it just didn't give me that sense when I ate others at much economical prices.....likely more suitable for tourists
I also taste the rice first. If they can't get the rice good, what else can you expect?
My mom going to squish my ears if i bring her to eat nasi lemak for Mother's Day.
Pondok Selera woodlands😂
Given the (brobdingnagian) disparity in prices, maybe a taste/dollar or value/dollar metric would be quite informative?
La Pona Nasi lemak pls
I think the fragrance is contributed by the choice of rice each business use too. Thai hom mali would be different.
So very true! 👍
I use high grade Thai Jasmine rice for my Nasi Lemak at the Sambalacha Bangkok.
I’ve been here thrice. Good Nasi lemak but twice I had under cooked chicken. It was raw near the bone.
Now I'll recommend Maria's Corner@Tanglin Halt for a bonus Nasi Lemak episode. It'll be a unique experience. 😊
looks worth a try but price point seems very steep for nasi lemak. Given their ingredient quality, sub 20 dollars(16-18-ish?) would be more ideal but i guess it is what it is
Give some credit to Chef Eng Su who passionately came up with the concept and the food. Without his passion and ideals there would not have been a coconut club. Even the name Coconut Club was his brainwave
Don’t like beer but somehow keep ending up at a beer place huh?? 😅
Had smoked beef ribs from a specialty smoked meats seller in Singapore. Same experience..fatty, sinewy and quite tasteless in terms of beef flavor.
Try fong seng nasi lemak at Clementi rd pls
Sorry, what's the definition of "i dont even like beer that much" but then proceed to gulp it down? 😂 Probably the 2nd time happening in your videos that I have seen.
money is good indeed haha thank you alderic for going all out for this video :D
There's a Coconut Club in the East. No rules of such. I dont order drinks there. Tried the kopi with coconut. Not worth the price. Nasi lemak nice but better be good at that price lah. So cant eat too often cos too ex. Also prefer the otah to the fried chix. But my friend prefers the chix. Chendol nice. Cost $8 but worth worth when the portion was enuff for 2. Nowadays portion euff for only 1😒
Bruh GNAWS his way to empty the Riase 1sttt...
What in the blue hell is BUMBLY? LOL
Good but Wayyy overpriced
I will only eat a nasi lemak which is below $6 😢
I get that it's their restaurant and their rules, but honestly it comes off as a very snobby place just because they got a Michelin Bib Gourmand. And on that note, HOW is this even worthy of the Bib Gourmand at this point? Insane. I get that it takes time and money (and effort) to be able to deliver that level of quality but to say this is good bang for your buck, still not for me.
Not sure about minimum spend for any restaurant. It's not about affordability but about what they expect from their customers. There are finer restaurants out there who don't impose minimum spend. No thanks
$11 for a drink? I can buy a meal at McD for that price.
Very overrated for the price.
The most expensive and over rated nasi lemak. Just terrible
Went there recently and it was one of the worst tasting for value nasi lemak I have ever tried. Everything about it was so mediocre and below average. Chicken was super oily as well
QQ
overpriced
Over hyped and not worth the high price!
I tried once and will NEVER go there again
