Spice and Rice - 7 Maxwell Rd

A wholesome and satisfying plate of nasi lemak! Fragrant rice, flavourful chicken and tasty sambal. Special mention on the anchovies which is very different from the rest of the nasi lemaks in Singapore!

Rating: ?? #美食金 #jiak Spice & Rice @ Amoy Hawker Centre # 01-15 Recommend: Anything cooked without MSG . They have 2 menu options: Nasi Lemak (with Fried Chicken) and Butter Chicken rice. . The chicken and chilli stands out from the dish. The side portion of spiced pineapple ? chunks gives a hawaiian contrast to your meal. . ?MSG free hawker selections ?Well marinated chicken & Healthy basmati coconut rice ?Spicy oomph chilli sauce ? . With so many nasi lemaks stalls in the same hawker centre, it will be a tough competition for them to stand out in terms of value and price ($7.90 ea). However, with the "healthy" option thrown in, it may just be a winner!!!

Love the fried chicken drumsticks that's well marinated and goes very well with their sambal chili. Appreciate that they prepare their ingredients in small batch so you will get freshly cooked ingredients. The eggs were also cooked with care as I still get runny egg yolk on the rice (which isn't that common in Nasi Lemak I think). Personally feel that this place can be comparable with the famous Nasi Lemak place nearby, but at half of the price you get similar/same taste.

Tried the nasi Lemak stall that is right next to Ah Ter Teochew fishball noodle. The stall is operated by two relatively young chap. Their stall offers a few different type of sets to cater to different taste buds. I had the set A which is basically the nasi lemak with a whole fried chicken thigh. The Nasi Lemak was SGD$7.50. I noticed they have used the basmati rice for their nasi lemak. Rice was nicely cooked but could be better in terms of flavor. Fried chicken was well marinated and the meat was juicy. Chicken was re-fried upon order which I think it was good touch. Sambal chilli was fine, but nothing to rave about. Overall it’s not bad, but I would prefer another stall selling the similar dish which is about a few mins walk away.

Amazing nasi lemak represented. I love the classic nasi lemak with the full works and the butter chicken is so comforting and unique. Really worth the repeated visit again and again. I will honestly feel the menu is very value for money.

Nasi Lemak is very good, fragrant coconut Basmati rice and special marinated chicken. Ikan bilis is crunchy and light to eat. Sambal was awesome! Good balance of chilli, sweetness flavour. Will definitely come back again! ???

Ordered their Set A Basmati Coconut with Classic Fried Chicken ($7.90) and added on some Butter Chicken ($3). Given that their food does not contain MSG, I find the taste pretty good! Basmati rice was not Lemak enough for me but for those who want a healthy meal, this should suffice. Their Chilli isn’t the typical salty ones as well and is definitely way healthier! Would have to say that their butter chicken is good too, not as flavourful as many other places (but again, healthy alert!). This bowl is probably for those who wanna be healthier but craves local food imo. In addition, the eggs were cooked to a wonderful consistency (runny yolk) and their fried chicken was really flavourful and the Star of the dish!✨

Tried it for the first time at Amoy! And boy these guys delivered. A yummy take on Nasi Lemak! We had the chicken rendang with the butter chicken croquettes (to die for)! The chili sambal was spot on with the right amount of flavor and sweetness. Definitely see myself coming back again!
