OG Lemak (Newton Food Centre) menu with price (updated 2025)
Welcome to OG Lemak, a great place at Newton Food Centre. Here, you can enjoy the authentic taste of Singaporean food. Chef Shen, who taught himself to cook, is back and serving OG Nasi Lemak at Newton. He says Newton was the first hawker center where people would come after a night out 25 years ago. The menu includes dishes like Beef Rendang Set, Vegan Set, Chicken Rendang Set, OG Lemak Set, and OG Lemak Chicken Thigh Set.
Moreover, The main attraction of the show is the OG Nasi Lemak rice. Chef Shen says it’s made using the recipe from her old stall, Madam Tan’s, which is no longer open. The tasty rice is cooked carefully by steaming it two times over four hours. This makes it fluffy and gives it a delicious taste that isn’t too rich.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQS)
Did you choose your favorite food from the menu?
My favorite dish is OG Nasi Lemak rice because it is cooked with 11 yummy things, like onions, ginger, lemongrass, and pandan leaves. After that, it’s soaked in coconut milk and fenugreek and then cooked again. The result after four hours is rice that tastes good with lots of flavors in every bite. It smells nice, but it could be more oily. This is one of the best nasi lemak I’ve ever had. So the next time you visit Newton Food Centre, try this. You will always be satisfied.

OG Lemak Reveiws
My experience was great. Went on Sunday noon and there was no queue. Ordered the OG Lemak set with crispy chicken. The chicken serving was really generous (3 large pieces) with a unique batter and sweet sauce that made an interesting experience; it's not the crispy type however, so be open minded for a different experience. Rice was sufficiently fragrant though not the best. There were two types of sambals - the redder one was sweet and the darker one was spicy. $7.90 which initially seemed overpriced, but worth it considering the chicken servings. Overall I enjoyed it, recommended!
There are four sets to choose from, one of which is a vegan set ($9.90) - a rarity in itself and good news for vegetarian friends.
The three meat-laden sets are all served with a sinful fried egg, crispy ikan bilis, a couple of cucumber slices and two types of chilli.
The Orginal ($7.90) comes with savoury fried chicken; while the Chicken or Beef Rendang sets are priced at $9.90.
This is clearly not your $2 nasi lemak and for good reason. It's restaurant-quality food at hawker prices, which actually makes the $9.90 you pay a steal. The portions are extremely generous - we had food coma after each visit because it is a very enjoyable, and filling meal. The chicken is succulent and meaty, while the beef rendang is tender, earthy and robust - the way rendang should be.
Another thing I really like is the choices of sambals served. The sambal belachan is unlike a Peranakan sambal belachan that can be raw and biting because of the way it is made. Here the fiery sambal belachan is more mellow (read smooth, not biting), and has a subtle sweetness. The sambal tumis served is also different from the Malay-style sambals that are heavy on sweetness. The OG Lemak sambal tumis, again has gone in the right direction, by easing up on the sweetness. Because when you have that natural sweetness going on with the coconut rice, you want a sambal that is more savoury than sweet to complement it.
