While the $12 nasi lemak is the main reason the crowds come to The Coconut Club, it's the kueh menu that keeps diners in for a little longer.

If you're looking for something refreshing and cooling, order the coconut jelly and the signature chendol made in jelly form.

The store has been steaming ang ku kueh since 1985, and is currently helmed by third-generation owner, Jerome Ng, who hopes to further his family’s business and appeal to a wider audience.
