Many people mightāve heard of Kedai Makan Muhajirin, located in Toa Payoh, and their famed S$1 nasi lemak.
More recently, however, another business in the digital realm has gone viral for offering something similar.
Aptly named 1dollarnasilemak, the home-based business sells nasi lemak from just S$1 and has gone viral on TikTok.

1dollarnasilemak, however, only accepts orders on weekends and customers may even have to submit their orders a few weeks before to secure slots.
As its name suggests, 1dollarnasilemak sells nasi lemak from just S$1.
The S$1 nasi lemak comes with rice, egg omelette, fried peanuts and ikan bilis, as well as a generous dollop of sambal ā which apparently takes about five hours to cook.
However, do note that the S$1 nasi lemak comes wrapped in paper and does not come with a spoon.
In one of its TikTok videos, the shop shared that the packaging of its S$1 nasi lemak measures about 8.5cm, or about the length of a stapler.
Customers who prefer eating their nasi lemak from a āsmall tubā can pay S$0.30 more for their nasi lemak instead.
Customers whoāre willing to pay more for their nasi lemak can also opt for more ingredients.
Like the basic S$1 nasi lemak, prices are different depending on whether the dish is wrapped in paper or in a small tub.
For a portion of nasi lemak with a drumlet on the side, customers would have to pay S$2 or S$2.30 respectively.
Alternatively, customers may also opt for popcorn chicken which would cost S$2.50 or S$2.80 depending on the packaging.
1dollarnasilemak is a Muslim-owned business.
To order, customers would have to contact the business via WhatsApp at 8836 6283.
Theyād then receive a message with the full menu and the dates which slots are available for.
Do note that slots are only available for weekends and thereās a minimum order of 10 packets.
Alternatively, self-collection is available from Woodlands on Sundays. Customers will receive the exact address after they confirm their order with payment.
At the time of writing, slots for the next two weeks have already been snapped up.

Itās heartening to know that affordable food options are still available amid this period of heightened inflation.
Kudos to folks from 1dollarnasilemak for their enterprising spirit while keeping their prices affordable.
If youād like like to order from the home-based nasi lemak business, be sure to do so early before slots get snapped up.
