Nasi Lemak Uncle Bob Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang Vie Score 93

The one to send someone to

93/100

Why it is our number one: This is the ultimate late-night fallback for Bukit Bintang explorers, offering massive portions and a 24-hour service window. Go for the aromatic coconut rice and the chewy squid, but skip the overpriced drinks nearby.

Where people do not agree: don't get the drinks from the coconut down there because the day I got was for 20; susah sikit cari parking (hard to find parking)

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

First time coming to Wanjo, lokasi senang dacari lebih kurang 5 menit jalan kaki dari station LRT Kampung Baru... nasi nyanyi sangat wangi guys.

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.

How we rank

1Every place, then only the right onesEverywhere serving nasi lemak in Kuala Lumpur proper. Anything in a neighbouring area filed under the same name is dropped.
2We read what people posted26 posts on TikTok, including what is said out loud in the videos and what the comments say underneath.
