Comfort food for a cold, wet day.

I spoke about uplifting lower-wage workers in my NDR speech on


Sunday. This requires a whole-of society effort, with support from
government, employers, unions, and consumers.

For consumers, this will mean having to pay a little more for their
meals at food centres and eateries, to help stallowners cover
higher cleaning and waste collection costs.

Real progress for lower wage workers is an essential part of


inclusive growth. I am glad that many Singaporeans are willing to
support lower-wage workers in this way, as we seek to build a
more fair and inclusive society for all. – LHL

tongue-in-cheek post (possibly a nod to the mee


siam mai hum speech from 2006) has inspired
foodies to descend upon confused noodle stall
keepers to relegate them with the exact order.

Since PM Lee is like a de facto food influencer, we


thought we would retrace his path and check out a
couple of food places where he has made an
appearance to see if the nosh checks out.

Nasi Lemak at The Coconut Club, 28 Ann Siang Rd,


Singapore 069708

The Coconut Club opened in 2016 and shot to fame


after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong hosted
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to a meal there.
In 2018, the restaurant made it into the Michelin
Guide's Bib Gourmand list, and this year, it still sits
snugly among the entries in the widely-recognised
guide for good food.

For starters, we tried the Gado Gado ($9.80) and


Homemade Otah ($10.80). The satay sauce in the
Gado Gado is a well-rounded blend of peanut, lime
and spice, but remains light on the palate. In an
unusual sentiment, we wished there was less fish
meat in the Homemade Otah, but the generous
amount of fish meat justified the price point.

Between us, we shared the Ayam Goreng Berempah


Set ($16.80), consisting of spiced fried organic
French Poulet leg and fragrant coconut rice. The
coconut rice is hands down the gold standard for nasi
