Awarded with the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2018, The Coconut Club serves an exquisite plate of Nasi Lemak with a twist. This humble eatery rose to fame when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong hosted Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte during his visit to Singapore. Located at the hipster area of Ann Siang Hill, the Chicken Leg and Breast Set is priced at $14.80. While it costs more than usual, the flavours of The Coconut Club’s fluffy rice and fiery sambal gives you a run for your money.

But more importantly, the fried chicken takes the limelight here - marinated with turmeric, lemongrass, and galangal that marries the Asian ingredients beautifully. With an ASMR crunch in every bite, sedap would be an understatement. This is not a Halal-certified restaurant, but all ingredients are Halal sourced.
