Nasi Lemak Meets Ayam Taliwang

The stall's signature dish brings together two familiar Southeast Asian food traditions.

The base is nasi lemak: fragrant coconut rice served with classic accompaniments such as sambal, egg, peanuts and ikan bilis.

Instead of relying only on the usual fried chicken, the stall pairs the rice with ayam taliwang — grilled chicken associated with Lombok, Indonesia, known for its spicy, aromatic chilli-based seasoning.

The result is a plate that keeps the comfort and richness of nasi lemak while introducing a smokier, more assertive Indonesian flavour profile.

Why Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang Matters

Berseh Food Centre is often associated with older heritage foods, but its current stall mix also includes newer concepts that reflect how Singapore hawker food continues to evolve.

Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang is a good example: it takes a familiar Singapore-Malaysia nasi lemak format and combines it with an Indonesian grilled-chicken tradition.

Together with older stalls such as Fu Zhou Poh Hwa, Lao Liang and Fu He, it shows that Berseh is not only a place preserving old food traditions, but also a hawker centre where newer cross-regional concepts operate alongside them.
