57 Nasi Lovemak

Finally visited Timbre+ at Hillview after talking about it for so long. The place is easily accessible via Cashew MRT Station, and there are ample parking lots if you’re driving.

There was a live band during our visit, and that area was quite crowded. However, the section of the food court where 57 Nasi Lemak is located was much quieter.

We came here especially for the nasi lemak, as it had been widely advertised on social media.

Besides the usual chicken wing nasi lemak, they also offer versions with BBQ chicken, half a fried chicken, and chicken cutlet, along with local favourites like lontong, mee siam, curry chai tow kway, and wings.

I don’t often see a BBQ chicken leg option for nasi lemak, so I decided to give it a try. The menu described it as a juicy chicken leg, grilled to perfection. The nasi lemak came with a sunny-side-up egg, ikan bilis, peanuts, sambal, and pickles.

Unfortunately, the BBQ chicken leg turned out a tad dry and tough. The quality of the utensils was also disappointing, they bent while I was trying to cut through the chicken.

BBQ Chicken Leg - $8.90

The Salmon Steak Nasi Lemak was what first caught our attention on social media. The salmon was nicely grilled and felt premium, though it was slightly on the dry side.

Overall, we found the nasi lemak to be rather average. The rice could have been served hotter, and the sambal, being a key component of the dish, could definitely be improved.

For the base, you can choose between nasi lemak rice or fried mee siam. There’s also an option to add on a homemade lemongrass drink for $1.20.

Salmon Steak - $12.50

We added wings as a side, but there was nothing much to shout about. They weren’t oily, yet they didn’t stand out either.

For nasi lemak in that area, I believe there are better options around. If I return to Timbre+ at Hillview, I would be keen to try the other stalls instead.
