Nasi Lemak Angah is known for serving the best small pack nasi lemak in Sentul. Fadly Fuad, the owner, has found his passion in life through nasi lemak. Starting with a humble stall at an LRT station, he has turned his love for nasi lemak into a successful business. The pandan-infused rice is a highlight of his menu. Keep reading for the full story of Nasi Lemak Angah.
“Small yet mighty!”
Angah takes great care to wrap each packet of food in paper and banana leaf, creating a tantalizing aroma that reflects the traditional Malaysian packed meal. The rice is flavored with aromatic ingredients such as ginger and lemongrass, making it a truly delicious experience.
In addition, you can experience a bold pandan taste in the dish (pandan juice is added to the rice while cooking). The gentle sambal sauce has a balanced mix of sweetness and tanginess, made with deseeded dried chilies, tamarind, and plenty of onions. The spiciness is not immediately noticeable, but it gradually lingers after eating. Nasi Lemak Angah exemplifies the saying that good things come in small packages.
While eating nasi lemak on its own with the typical toppings like egg, cucumber, peanuts, and anchovies is satisfying, the side dishes at Angah are so delicious that it would be a shame to not include them in your meal.
Angah offers a variety of side dishes to accompany their nasi lemak, including chicken, cockles, beef lung, and more. The sambal cockles are particularly delicious, as they are cooked with kaffir lime leaves, giving them a refreshing citrusy taste that pairs well with the rice.
One recommended dish to try is the Sambal Paru, where lung pieces are cut into thin strips, boiled, cleaned, and then fried with a spicy sambal sauce. The lung pieces are cooked perfectly due to the lengthy preparation process. For those who prefer squid, the sambal sotong is also a great choice. The dried squid is soaked in a special solution for 6 hours before being boiled until it becomes tender. Each sambal sauce used in these dishes is tailored to complement the specific protein being used. This meticulous attention to detail is what sets Angah apart.
Angah and his wife Rasida Khalid come from a family with a background in cooking. Since 2009, they have been selling nasi lemak, with Rasida handling the cooking and Angah focusing on marketing. They have gained a reputation for their nasi lemak bungkus in KL, using their family recipes to stand out as top vendors in the area.
“Nasi Lemak has the power to connect with anyone. It has been enjoyed by people from all walks of life, from those with lower incomes to those with higher incomes. When Angah is invited to talk shows and fancy events to showcase his nasi lemak, he becomes emotional because he feels overwhelmed and grateful for the support and interest. As a child, he sold traditional Malay cakes from a basket, never imagining that it would lead to where he is now,” Angah reflects. With such passion and determination, Angah’s potential for success with his delicious nasi lemak knows no bounds.
