Nalé • The Nasi Lemak Company

You have to be pretty confident to open a Resturant with practically a single dish on offer. That’s the premise of Nale - short for Nasi Lemak? It is after all our unofficial national dish. And how do they rate? Well the Nasi Lemak is pretty decent. The rice isn’t very aromatic but it comes in nice individually separated grains. The anchovies and peanuts are fresh and crunchy. And you get 3 slices of pretty large cucumber too. Most importantly for me is the Sambal. This was on the mild side and somewhat sweet. This may be a crowd pleaser but does not earn any points from me. I also asked for another serving of their Sambal Hijau and this too turned out mild and sweetish. They do have a Sambal Superhot that I didn’t try, so hopefully that’s better than the two I tried. Beef Rendang and Beef Gulai were both well cooked and tender. The beef in the rendang had absorbed the coconut flavours. The gulai was creamy. Both however were not particularly spicy, so no top marks for either. The Fried Chicken was doused in a gravy, so you couldn’t really discern the freshness of the fried chicken. The gravy was the same as the beef Gulai? A side order of Sambal Terung (eggplant) was well prepared. The eggplant cubes had been quickly fried and resulted in a creamy texture. The sambal however was the sweetish non-spicy variety, so no to marks again. Overall I came away rather disappointed. If only they could get the spice level up, this could be a top notch franchise. But judging from the lunch crowds here, they don’t seem to be doing too badly either. I might return for that Superhot sambal though.

Tried 1. Rendang beef with petai- the beef was very tender , slightly on the sweet side and the addition of petai balances the sweetness of the beef with the slight bitterness of the crunchy petai. Sedap 2 Sayur masak lemak- not the usual sayur , you’ll find in a masak lemak dish. There were broccoli, eggplant,long beans , etc. , all cooked in a flavourful rich broth of santan. I like 3 Fried chicken in sambal - The crispy pieces of fried chicken were served with a fiery sambal. Could taste kaffir lime leaves in the semi spicy, sour , sweet sambal. 4 Extra sambal hijau- sambal hijau was just okay 5.Teh tarik ais without sugar- nice ,the slightly bitter aftertaste of tea complemented the mild sweetness of the condensed milk.

Their signature nasi lemak was good; rice has santan aroma and complimented with crispy kacang + ikan bilis(personally prefer their ikan bilis as it has been rinsed to remove excess salt) and fresh cucumber slice. There's a choice of wagyu upgrade for an exciting change to your nasi lemak. Their signature sambal gravy completed the meal. I'm prepared to make my next visit to try the rest from the menu.

I first tried the Mid Valley shop some time ago and had a good impression of their grilled chicken. Revisited this branch recently, which has better service and a more comfortable environment than the Mid Valley one. The food quality remained consistently good. The nasi lemak itself was decent, not the best I have had, but the various meat dishes that came with it was delicious. Overall, it is worth returning to when craving a satisfying high calorie meal.

One of my favourite Nasi Lemak spots in KL! The quality of the food is consistent with their Mid Valley outlet and is so tasty. Portion size is slightly above average as well Outlet is huge with plenty of seats available and the staff are all very friendly and helpful.

I love the modern take on these delicious nasi lemak dishes! The decor is sleek and clean, and they offer amazing sauces to choose from. The Nale sauce is not spicy at all, the gulai is very mild, and the sambal hijau is spicy but gives a nice fragrant punch. If you’re into curry-style sauces, this is definitely a place you must try! Our favorite dishes are the beef rendang (so soft and tender), beef in gulai sauce, lamb shank with Nale sauce, and the Nale chicken nasi lemak. Service is relaxed and friendly. Thank you! 🙂

Tried NALE for the first time because I was craving nasi lemak, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they offer so much more than just that.Their menu has an impressive variety more than just nasi lemak lovers. The food was beautifully presented like a piece of art on a plate and the taste did not disappoint.I especially loved the sambal, which had the perfect balance of spice and flavor.The lamb was a standout, so juicy and tender!Overall, a great experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their dishes.
