If you ever find yourself hungry for nasi lemak in Bandar Baru Selayang or Gombak. Nasi lemak is done a little differently at Ujang Corner, self-styled ‘the best nasi lemak in town’: fragrant coconut rice is plated on a banana leaf with cucumber slices, half a boiled egg, and a scoop of sambal. But ikan bilis and peanuts are nowhere to be found, although Ujang Corner more than makes up for it with over a dozen lauk add-ons, from ayam masak merah, ikan keli berlada and the east coast specialty ikan tongkol berlada to rendang daging, rendang limpa, sambal sotong, and more.
Prices are affordable: a plate of nasi lemak plus any of the above add-ons will set you back only RM7. If you opt for bergedil, and you should, that’s RM2 à la carte. Queues are long, but fast-moving.
