Nasi Lemak Uncle Bob Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang Vie Score 92

The one to send someone to

92/100

Why it is our number one: We rate this as the essential 24-hour anchor for late-night cravings in Bukit Bintang. The squid is the standout side dish, noted for its springy texture and generous portions, though visitors should head to the Kampung Baru branch if they want to avoid the parking nightmare of Jalan Alor.

Where people do not agree: Parking is difficult at the Bukit Bintang location; Avoid getting coconut drinks from nearby stalls as they can be overpriced at RM20

The rice has a strong coconut aroma, which makes it really flavorful. As for the squid, it is springy and chewy with a generous portion to go with it.

Popular in Kuala Lumpur, but not for nasi lemak

People post about these places plenty. What they post about is not nasi lemak, so they are not ranked above, and we would rather say that than pad the list.
