Tucked away in the restaurant row of Robinson’s Galleria is Nasi Lemak. The restaurant’s erstwhile consultant HK was proud to assure us that you will get the most authentic Singaporean and Malaysian cuisine in Manila, and they do not disappoint. Back when they were still situated in Thompson Square they were already impressing us with their laksa and bakute and we occasionally enjoyed his stories (and complaints) about the incorrect way Hainanese chicken is served in Manila. It was refreshing to re-visit the place again in a new setting, this time in a mall.
For starters try their very generously sized poh piah. It should be eaten at once though because the wrapper dries up really fast and it isn’t a very pleasant experience to bite through raw, tough lumpia wrapper. While waiting for your main meal to be served you may also want to try their roti prata served with the pre-requisite curry sauce for P98. I loved their Nonya chao chye and I wish I had ordered the larger size, but the small size will generously serve one person. The char kway teow was too heavily sauced for my taste but the beef rendang was almost a religious experience. It was deliciously spicy, hot and creamily rich with coconut milk. The beef almost melting in the mouth and the flavour was complicated and just divine.
