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.

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.

@eLtitude 2 месяца назад

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!

@egcmy11 2 месяца назад

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.

@87togabito 22 дня назад

I just had lunch there going off the high praise from this vid, and boy did they not disappoint. The Nasi lemak is fantastic, but the kueh and beef rendang were what stood out to me the most.

the kuehs are awesome. I wished I knew more about kuehs to speak on them.

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.

@waterbottle_9087 2 месяца назад

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).

@jeremy8250 2 месяца назад

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.

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? 😬

@PaulaBean Месяц назад

What is 'kampong chicken'? Is that a special kind of chicken, or is it the way how it is prepared?

@worldedit96 Месяц назад

@@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.

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.

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

@kamsani01 23 дня назад

"The coconut fragrance is so full. There are two aspects to adding coconut milk to rice. One is the "lemakness and two is the fragrance, and this rice scores so high in both aspects. We had plenty of very fragrant coconut rice in the series, but some of them have had the "lemakness lacking. this doesn't. This has the extra layer of people putting in the time to blend difference variants of coconuts in order to achieve a lemak-fragrance balance that they like." Seriously??

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😒

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.
