Many years ago, Nam Heong was famous for its chicken rice, but these days it has been selling other items until the 'identity' is forgotten.
I would thought that it is just another kopitiam....
Saw the below menu at the shop entrance and marked it as one of my foodie bucket list😂
Coincidently they are having the egg tarts promotion with RM1.85 per tart/per customer for dine-in only.
I would have thought that Nam Heong is now an egg tart/pastries shop with this counter and oven at the entrance. The 'previous Nam Heong' would display the whole chicken instead.
The promo item....only one miserable egg tart per customer😭
Anyway, my main purpose is to try out their nasi lemak pork curry from the Menu Rahmah.
[Below] Removing the fried egg, to reveal the underneath gems.
The nasi lemak has peanuts, anchovies, sambal, pork curry, cucumber and 3 pieces of lap cheong. The portion of rice is similar to RM2 roadside nasi lemak portion. The rice has slight santan taste/aroma.
Overall, not bad. I would still choose this over the other 2 options coz i like their pork curry. I wish to order 2 bowls of nasi lemak instead but it only limits 1 bowl per customer.
The egg tart just ok, taste somewhat like Tong Kee version.
side view...
This meal costs RM7.55 nett (after the service charge). Pinnacle resident/staff would enjoy 5% discount.

If I am not mistaken the chicken rice Nam Heong with a long history and this Ipoh Nam Heong is different if you search the history of both Nam Heong online.

Mun: thanks for info. Ah, so it is a different establishment! I miss the previous one which was managed by Esquire Kitchen, that sells chicken rice and egg tarts/Chinese pastries too.
Welcome! 🤗 I believe somehow some new management bought over both Nam Heong because on their fb, there is both nam Heong chicken rice and there is nam Heong Ipoh but I couldn't find any details about it. The one u miss still is at the previous location in Jalan sultan but maybe the chicken dishes may taste different to what you are used to. Maybe you can visit it to verify the taste. There is one nam Heong chicken rice used to be next to esquire kitchen in midvalley mall but now both also not there anymore.
Thank you for reviewing the rm5 pork curry nasi lemak. Since you say that the portion of rice is small then I would go and eat it. 👍 😊
Very affordable the menu rahmah nasi lemak. But portion is too small for big eaters. So there is a catch to their RM1.85 egg tart - can only buy one :(
