The Green Rice

We can’t talk about Nasi Lemak in Brunei without mentioning this veteran restaurant! The Green Rice in Subok is the office go-to with its bright green pandan coconut milk rice, thick and slightly spicy sambal and the delicious fried chicken. We also love their move towards eco-friendly takeout boxes.

Golden Coffee

A classic rendition of the dish with a few tasty tweaks, Golden Coffee’s version is delightfully filling. You get a whole fat chicken thigh with a light and crisp batter that is ginger forward, and all the requisite sides like fluffy and fragrant coconut milk rice that is surprisingly light, chunky sweetspicy homemade sambal with a fire that creeps up as a slow burn, and wonderfully acidic batons of pickled cucumber that are best cut up into smaller pieces and enjoyed together with everything for a perfect bite.

This hidden gem is a Sarawakian restaurant with a great menu and their pre-order only Nasi Lemak has all the right components for a comforting meal. Choose between tender chunks of a surprisingly light and citrusy beef rendang or a simply satisfying fried chicken option. We like to level up with an extra order of their Ikan Terubok Goreng which has its own spicier sambal and a moreish salty crunch right down to the bones.
