Faith Nasi Lemak, Fried Bee Hoon/Mee @ Redhill Market & Food Centre

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)

The nasi lemak is obviously the star here 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.

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 gushes out like spring water.

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 I could literally count the number of silver fish/ikan bilis and peanuts on my 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.

The sambal is more of a orange hue than the usual crimson red. Mildly spicy yet not too saccharine, this sambal suits those who cannot take the heat well.
