From Faber Towers, follow the row
of shophouses along Jalan Desa Bakti till you reach Restoran Sepetang. It’s not
hard to find; it’s the one with a long queue of customers winding around the
stall in front. The popular run by multilingual owner Karen, offers Nyonya
style nasi lemak.
This means, in addition to fluffy
grains of coconut milk rice, spicy-savory sambal, crispy ikan bilis (larger in
size than the usual variety), you will also be offered some of her signature
pickled pineapple and cucumber relish, which is utterly addictive — so good you
can eat it on its own. But what sets Karen’s nasi lemak apart from the rest is
the option to add a side of dry curried wild boar. Hardly the most common in
town, much less paired with nasi lemak, the wild boar is succulent without
being overly gamey, and thanks to the right mix of rempah rendang (Malay curry
spices). Don’t forget to tapao (take away) some Nyonya kuih for tea later in
the day.
