Herb-infused nasi ulam run by two sisters at Amoy Street
The Little Red Hen is a distinctive stall at Amoy Street Food Centre run by two sisters who have made it their mission to elevate the traditional Malay herb rice dish, nasi ulam. Each day, they prepare a limited run of roughly 50 sets, carefully blending a medley of fresh herbs including daun kunyit, daun kesum, and bunga kantan into fragrant rice that is as aromatic as it is colourful. The nasi ulam is served with an array of side dishes such as sambal, fried shredded coconut, and grilled protein, creating a plate that is both visually stunning and deeply flavourful. The stall's name is a playful nod to the folk tale, and its modest output ensures that every serving is made with attention and care. Diners are advised to arrive early, as the daily supply typically sells out well before closing time, a testament to the growing appreciation for this lesser-known Malay classic.Based on 78 Google reviews

Tried ayam percik nasi ulam after reading many good reviews. Indeed it's full of flavour. Chicken was tender with some gravy. Rice was tasteful but too bad it's cold, would've been better if still steaming. Came at 11.30am on weekdays, only got 3pax in Q.. if you're late by 15mins, long Q already forming. So please come earlier.
