Crave Nasi Lemak is a dedicated nasi lemak chain that has earned a loyal following for its rendition of Singapore's beloved coconut-rice dish.The Star Vista outlet serves up the same formula that has made the brand a go-to: fragrant coconut rice paired with crispy fried chicken wings, a sweet-spicy sambal chilli, fried egg, ikan bilis, cucumber slices, and crunchy groundnuts.
The fried chicken wing — shatteringly crisp on the outside, juicy within — is the standout, and the sambal strikes a balance between sweetness and heat that complements rather than overwhelms the rice. Beyond the classic plate, the menu offers variations with fish, rendang, or additional sides, allowing diners to customise their meal. The portions are generous and the pricing is reasonable for a mall food-court setting, making it a practical choice for a satisfying lunch or dinner. For anyone craving a proper plate of nasi lemak with all the requisite trimmings, Crave Nasi Lemak delivers a consistent, comforting rendition that honours the dish's hawker-heritage roots.

Saw that this outlet renovated and reopened so decided to come here for lunch. Quite liked the outlet before. It looks nicer now but is still outside and u collect the food urself. Anyway I had two piece chicken nasi lemak and a milk tea and my partner had the chicken wing one. Total was 18.80$ which is not too bad but ofc there are cheaper options. Chicken was crispy and juicy. The rice itself was a bit dry tbh. Sambal not bad. I missed the crispy parts on the rice as before. I thought it was just okay tbh but I'll give it another try in a bit. Service was fine.

I was disappointed with my visit to Crave at Star Vista. The food wasn’t great, and the portions were very small. The chicken cutlet tasted horrible and didn’t seem fresh. On top of that, the tray return area was messy and overcrowded, making it difficult to return plates. Honestly, the Kent Ridge MRT outlet serves much better food and has a more pleasant dining experience.

My go to lunch option here in Star Vista whenever I am craving Nasi Lemak. Food and service is ok but the place needs to change its lights from yellow to white light to make it a more pleasant experience. Need to clean a bit too.

My breakfast at crave star vista basement. I love the sambal and curry chicken is soft. Staff is friendly. Clean space and peaceful place to dine in during morning hours.

After walking around the food court I decided to try the Naasi Lemak from here. The price was also economical and they have a separate area to sit and eat. You can order from the Kiosk as well. It took them about 5 minutes to prepare the food and the food was delicious.
