Unveiling the Secrets of Nasi Lemak Angah: A Journey from Humble Beginnings to Culinary Success

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 small stall at an LRT station, he has turned his love for Nasi Lemak into a successful business. One of the highlights of Nasi Lemak Angah is their pandan-infused rice. Read on to learn more about Fadly Fuad’s inspiring journey.

“Small yet mighty!”

Every package from Angah is carefully wrapped in paper and banana leaf, exuding a tempting fragrance that draws you in. This traditional Malaysian meal is packed with flavors like ginger and lemongrass, making the rice especially aromatic.

In addition, you can experience a prominent pandan taste in the dish (pandan juice is included in the cooking of the rice). The subtle sambal sauce has a balanced mix of sweetness and sourness, created with de-seeded dried chillies, tamarind, and plenty of onions. The spiciness is not immediately noticeable, but lingers after eating a serving. Nasi Lemak Angah exemplifies the saying that good things can come in small portions.

Even though eating nasi lemak plain with just the typical egg, cucumber, peanuts, and anchovies is satisfying, the side dishes at Angah are so delicious that it would be a shame to leave them out of your meal.

At Angah’s, there are various types of side dishes available to accompany their nasi lemak, such as spicy chicken, cockles, beef lung, beef, and more. The sambal cockles are particularly delicious, as they are prepared with kaffir lime leaves, adding a refreshing citrusy taste that complements the rice well.

Another recommended dish to try is the Sambal Paru, which consists of thinly sliced lung that is boiled, cleaned, and then fried with a spicy sambal sauce. The cooking process ensures that the lung is tender and flavorful. If you prefer squid, the sambal sotong is also worth trying. The dried squid is soaked in a special solution for 6 hours before being boiled to a soft and tender texture. Each sambal paste used in the dishes is tailored to complement the specific protein being cooked. This level of attention to detail is what sets Angah apart and makes it stand out.

Angah and his wife Rasida Khalid come from a family with a passion for cooking. Since 2009, they have been selling nasi lemak, with Rasida handling the cooking and Angah taking care of marketing. They have become well-known for their nasi lemak bungkus in Kuala Lumpur, using their family recipes to establish themselves as the top choice for those looking to order this dish.

“Nasi Lemak has the power to connect with everyone. It has been enjoyed by people from all walks of life, from those with lower incomes to those with higher incomes. When I am invited to talk shows and prestigious events to showcase my nasi lemak, I am moved to tears by the overwhelming support and interest. As a child, I used to sell kuih from a basket, never imagining that it would lead to where I am today,” Angah reflects. With such passion and confidence, the possibilities are endless for Angah and his delicious servings of nasi lemak.
