A $2 plate of nasi lemak is almost unheard of in Singapore today. But at a Yishun food stall, that’s exactly what customers are getting.
Reban Kasran, 57 and his wife, Sakdiah Abdul Latiff, 53, sell nasi lemak for $2 despite paying nearly $10,000 in monthly rent for their stall at Block 101, Yishun Avenue 5, reported Berita Harian (BH) on Tuesday (June 30).
They introduced $2 nasi lemak at Indonesian Selera Corner after hearing that customers, particularly senior citizens, wanted a simple and affordable meal.
The couple sells two types of nasi lemak, chicken and fish. Each comes with coconut rice, sambal, egg, anchovies, peanuts and cucumber slices.
“We want to ensure that vulnerable groups, such as senior citizens and low-income families, can still afford a meal without having to worry about the price,” Sakdiah told BH.
Affordability was a key consideration when pricing their food, as customers range from students to workers stopping by for breakfast before heading to school or work.
