Company Description

Located at 23 Baghdad Street is the new Lemak Pandan; these folks are situated right beside Smashed that was once featured by ishowspeed during his visit to Singapore not too long ago. One thing that is noticeable from outside is how Lemak Pandan does look very similar to Smashed with an almost identical layout of the shop space and the use of rather complimentary colour tones in its shop facade — whilst Smashed adopts a yellow colour scheme for its shop facade, Lemak Pandan uses an orange colour scheme for its colour theme. With that being said, the folks at Lemak Pandan had told us that there two stalls do not share any relations and are simply neighbours.

The folks at Lemak Pandan had opted to go with serving their Nasi Lemak with its rice bearing a green hue. With that being said, it is interesting to observe that the rice here does come with a duller shade of green as compared to the neon green hue that most Pandan-infused rice tend to come in — these folks had mentioned that this is due to the use of actual Pandan juice in the making of the rice. The results do show in the flavours of the rice; wafting of a Pandan and coconut-y aroma, while the choice of using Basmati rice meant that the rice remains fluffy and light — very easy to eat despite all the flavours that it carries. The other star of the Nasi Lemak here is undeniably the Chicken Wing — one thing that we found to be especially prominent with the chicken wing here would be its marination with turmeric as well as the flavours of the spices such as the lemongrass; we also loved how the chicken wing didn’t feel particularly greasy, yet coming all tender and juicy whilst also being served piping hot as well being fried only upon order. Meanwhile, the long beans does seem to have come with salted fish as well as caramalised onions; the long beans delivering a soft crunch while the other elements provided a slight saltish-ness and sweetness that gave the element a bit of a flavoural contrast.
