Since I would be dropping by Redhill Market & Food Centre to support the relaunch of Redhill Pork Porridge, I took the opportunity to check out the other stalls which I did not managed to during my last visit two years ago.

What caught my interest is this stall named Faith Nasi Lemak, Fried Bee Hoon/Mee.

As its name implies, the stall offers nasi lemak and fried bee hoon/mee with a wide array of dishes to choose from.

However, unlike other economical bee hoon stalls where the nasi lemak plays second fiddle, the opposite seemed to be the case here with the coconut rice dish hogging the limelight.

Just take a look at their impressive menu on the signboard:

Set 1) Chicken Cutlet Rice with cabbage and egg ($4)

Set 2) Sweet & Sour Chicken Rice with cabbage and egg ($4)

Set 3) Chicken Wing Rice with cabbage and egg ($3.80)

Set 4) Fish Fillet Rice with egg, silver fish and peanut ($2.80)

Set 5) Chicken Wing + Luncheon Meat Rice with egg, silver fish and peanut ($4)

Set 6) Chicken Wing + Fish Fillet Rice ($3.80)

Set 7) Chicken Drumstick Rice with egg, silver fish and peanut ($4.70)

Set 8) Curry Chicken Drumstick Rice with cabbage and egg ($4.80)

Set 9) Pork Cutlet Rice with cabbage and egg ($4.80)

That is a grand total of nine different nasi lemak sets with no mention of the bee hoon and mee.

I opted for Set 7 that come with a deep fried chicken drumstick, egg, silver fish and peanut.

Who can resist sinking their teeth into a large chicken drumstick that is fried to a crisp with juicy, flavorful meat?

Not me, for sure. Fried chicken is my kryptonite - it makes me go weak at the knees.

What I really dislike while having fried chicken, is discovering the inside still raw with blood.

I am pleased to report that said problem does not exist here.

On the other hand, the egg yolk of a sunny-side up is something that I wished would remain runny but unfortunately, for businesses that have to churn out huge numbers of fried eggs at a time, this is not always possible.

However, this stall did it.

Initially, I thought my egg would be fully cooked through from the white right down to the yolk.

Surprisingly, when I push the fork through it, the egg yolk flowed like spring water out of a newly dug well.

One thing to note is that they used silver fish here instead of ikan bilis which they are extremely generous with.

Other places can be so miserly with it that one could literally count the number of silver fish/ikan bilis and peanuts on the plate.

I absolutely abhor it when I have to ration the silver fish to make them last the entire meal.

However, there is no need for that here as there are plenty to go around.

The crispy silver fish would make a tasty snack to eat on its own. Only problem is, they may have gone a little too heavy-handed with the salt which, I hope, is just a one-off thing.

Served warm and aromatic, the rice is light and fluffy while the coconut flavour not overpowering. I am quite addicted to the rice that I could just eat it plain.
