"Service at this roadside nasi lemak eatery was quick, friendly and smooth. Asked for chicken thigh and it was delivered piping hot The rice is aromatic and the sambal chili goes extremely well with it - you can ask for extra sambal and they will give. There are also cucumber slices and peanuts - you can take as much as you want. Christmas Eve 2025 dinner here cost RM 21 for three pax. Do come early (opens at 5 pm) as items like sotong, beef in plastic packs do get sold out as this is a popular dinner spot."

"Surprisingly very delicious nasi lemak. The nasi is full with santan and Pandan flavour . Sambal is on the sweet side which is my liking . Fried chicken is a must, fresh, crispy and juicy.. You may add on Sambal sotong, sayur sayur, lauk which ready in packets. Just grab along. Best part, price is super reasonable! Highly recommended for those who like a local malay taste nasi lemak without any fancy stuff."

"This is a seriously good Nasi Lemak located at a street parking area. They start serving patrons at around 5:15pm and everything is ready by then. Their fried chicken is crunchy and well marinated - very flavourful and juicy. You have plenty of options to choose from for your side dishes such as squid, quail eggs, cow lung, vegetables and many others. One of the things I like about here is that you are free to add on any amount of peanuts, anchovies and cucumber as you want - it’s self service. Also, you can request extra Sambal if you want and they will oblige to your request. Their Sambal is quite good too. I highly recommended you to come and try their nasi lemak here. Plenty of parking and seats if you come early."

"Overall experience: This nasi lemak stall at Rosmerah is a humble roadside spot that only opens during dinner time. Don’t judge it by the simple setup, the food really hits the spot. Everything is clean and well-organised, with side dishes packed nicely in advance. Food: The nasi lemak is full of flavour, fragrant rice, sambal which just nice, and the fried chicken is crispy and full of flavour. The vegetables are fresh, and got many lauk options to choose from. Everything looks freshly cooked and balanced. Service: Service here is fast and friendly. Even when it gets busy, they handle it well and make sure customers are served quickly. Cost: Very affordable price range."

"managed to order and paid for my food despite my limited malay language knowledge . Rm25!~ S$7.80 for 2 pax included their must eat deep fried msian style deep fried chicken . The chicken is a must eat .. not healthiest but so so good with the sambal chilli . the beef rendang not too tough . the price is quite affordable and reasonable for me It was fun picking out my own items and the sides comes packed in plastic packaging. Choose your fav chicken parts and enjoy while seated at the road side tables . Check the weather forecast before going ."

"This is a no frills nasi lemak stall that’s really popular among the locals. It’s just a tentage with make-shift tables and seats sprawling across a small area of the open space carpark. It’s abit like nasi padang style. They give u a plate of coconut rice and then u take whichever ingredients you want on your own which is great for me! I tend to like more ingredients on my serving plate than rice. Had nasi kosong (Rm2.90) + 2 ayam goreng (Rm4.70/ea) + 2 fried eggs (Rm1.60/ea). Total dmg Rm15.50. I went big cause i was hungry but a reg set should cost slightly less than Rm10 which is acceptable. The ayam goreng is fragrant and the meat is fresh. The breast meat was surprisingly tender. In Msia it’s really hard to get lousy ayam. But the batter wasn’t as crispy as i thought. Rice is fluffly coconut rice. The chilli is abit too sweet for me. Can’t really taste the heat. And the eggs are just normal fried eggs. I feel it’s isn’t mind blowing but i can totally feel the local vibes just dining here. Generally nasi lemak is a daytime food but they are only opened in the afternoon and close early evening which is the reason i haven’t had a chance to try it till now. It’s a no frills nasi lemak but I wouldn’t come all the way here for it unless i’m in the area."
