Kedai Makan Muhajirin In Toa Payoh Serves S$1 Nasi Lemak For 34 Years
Inflation and food prices have been soaring due to the pandemic and ongoing war in Ukraine. Nonetheless, there are still little-known places in Singapore with affordable meals if you know where to look.
One such stall is Kedai Makan Muhajirin in Toa Payoh which sells nasi lemak for just S$1. The price of its signature dish has apparently stayed unchanged for the last 34 years despite major events like the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here’s a quick look at what you can feast on for just S$1.
Toa Payoh stall serves S$1 nasi lemak
At Kedai Makan Muhajirin, customers can get a hearty plate of nasi lemak for just S$1 — likely insufficient for a cup of kopi at most coffeeshops.
The dish is apparently topped with cucumber, fried egg, ikan bilis, and sambal — not the fanciest, but still good value for what it’s worth.
