“ Best and affordable Nasi Ayam in Balok area. Price ranges from RM8.50 to RM12+ for single serving. ”
“ Simple healthy hainanese fast food. I'm from San Francisco, California and a foodie. The flavor could be more richer and aromatic in terms of rice, but I'm not in Singapore so I'm not one to complain. Good simple steamed chicken with two sides of vegetables for 4 with rice, soup, drinks for 78 Malaysian ringgit. That's the price I pay for one beer in the bay area where I live. Pick your battles, they do it right and healthy for being in a small town in Malaysia. There were four of us. ”
