Home-Based $1 Nasi Lemak Went So Viral in TikTok, You’d Have to Order in Advance

How much are you willing to pay for nasi lemak?

With the newest TikTok sensation, 1dollarnasilemak, the price of a nasi lemak is the least of your concerns.

1dollarnasilemak is selling nasi lemak for, quite literally, $1.

Here’s what you need to know about it.

Nasi Lemak Starting From Just $1

1dollarnasilemak is a Muslim-owned business which started selling nasi lemak on TikTok late last year.

The best part about their business? You only have to pay primary school canteen prices for their nasi lemak.

With a range of nasi lemaks on their menu, you can pick and choose based on your preferences. Prices of their nasi lemak start at just $1!

@1dollarnasilemak What we include in our Nasi Lemak??? Whatsapp to order 88366283 #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #singaporetiktokers🇸🇬 #tiktoksg🇸🇬 #halalhomebasedsg #sghalalfood #halalfood #sgfoodie #sgfood #halalfood #halalfoodie #cheapnasilemak ♬ Beat Automotivo Tan Tan Tan Viral – WZ Beat

The $1 nasi lemak, wrapped in paper, contains the standard ingredients of a delicious nasi lemak—rice, egg omelette, sambal, peanuts and ikan bilis.

However, don’t let the price point trick you—just because it’s only $1, it doesn’t mean effort wasn’t put in to prepare your nasi lemak.

Did you know that their sambal is cooked for five hours before it finds its way into your nasi lemak?

They’re putting in the elbow grease to prepare your nasi lemak (hopefully, there isn’t literal elbow grease in the sambal, though).

If you enjoy the sambal, you can order extra sambal at just $3.50!

You could even slather it on your other meals for a flavour boost.

Even for its price, 1dollarnasilemak doesn’t skim on its portions. Once wrapped up, the nasi lemak packet measures a height of 8.5cm, approximately the height of a stapler.

A nasi lemak that doubles as a ruler or a measuring tape? What a steal!

Are you trying to sneak in a snack at the office but scared of dirtying your desk? You can also get the standard nasi lemak in a plastic tub instead of paper for an additional $0.30!

It looks equally good and even comes with a spoon for easy consumption.

Other Notable Menu Items Sold By 1dollarnasilemak

Aside from the standard $1 nasi lemak, the home-based business also sells other variations of their nasi lemak.

Are you craving some extra protein? You can consider purchasing the Nasi Lemak Ayam, which comes with a mouth-watering chicken drumlet, for just $2.

Of course, if you’d like to enjoy your Nasi Lemak Ayam in a plastic tub instead, you can opt for that for $2.30.

Are you craving something a little crunchier? Try 1dollarnasilemak’s Nasi Lemak Popcorn Chicken, which, as its name alludes to, comes with a portion of popcorn chicken.

The best part? It costs $2.50 if wrapped in paper and $2.80 if packaged in a plastic tub. You can’t find these prices anywhere else!

With this, you won’t have to miserably scroll through expensive Grab Food menus while looking for late-night bites again.

You Snooze, You Lose: All Menu Items Already Sold Out for March

If you want to get your hands on a packet of nasi lemak from 1dollarnasilemak, we, unfortunately, have bad news.

According to 1dollarnasilemak’s TikTok video, they are sold out for March.

You snooze, you lose—better order in advance if you want some.

The viral nasi lemak business also shared that they will be closed for Ramadhan and only resume business after Hari Raya.

Regardless, if you want to get your hands on the nasi lemak after Hari Raya, here are some crucial details on the ordering process.

To order, you’ll have to contact the business via WhatsApp at 8836 6283. You’ll also have to order a minimum of 10 packets.

You can opt for either delivery or self-collection, but note that self-collection is only available on Sundays at Woodlands.
