The Coconut Club - Fluffy Coconut Rice & Crispy Berempah Chicken

There is nasi lemak, and then there is The Coconut Club’s nasi lemak — and the gap between the two is wide enough to justify everything that follows. Under the umbrella of The Lo & Behold Group , The Coconut Club is built on a single-minded obsession: to take Singapore’s most beloved dish and make it as good as it can possibly be. The Beach Road flagship has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, and it’s not hard to understand why once you taste what they’ve done to a plate of coconut rice.

Signature Nasi Lemak — Ayam Goreng Berempah Set

This is what people come for, and it delivers. The rice is made using 2-year-old Thai Jasmine infused with coconut milk and steamed to perfection, while the organic chicken is marinated for 12 hours in a house-made rempah before being fried to order. The result is a bird with deep, layered spice on the outside and tender, juicy meat within — a far cry from the lukewarm wings you’d get at a casual hawker stall. The rice is cooked using cold-pressed coconut milk extracted on-site , giving it a clean, fragrant coconutty character that isn’t heavy or greasy. Each set comes with a fried egg, house-made sambal, cucumber, ikan bilis, and peanuts — all the classics, done with care.

Beef Rendang

The Beef Rendang is made using New Zealand beef shin , slow-cooked into a rich, deeply spiced dry curry that pulls apart effortlessly. It’s the kind of rendang that makes you want to tear off an extra piece of coconut rice just to soak up what’s left on the plate. Available as an add-on ($10) or as a standalone nasi lemak set ($18.80), this is a strong contender for the table’s best dish — and the one that keeps regulars coming back.

Lamb Percik

The Lamb Percik features crispy Australian lamb short ribs marinated in coconut milk and tamarind, then charcoal-grilled until the edges char and the flesh stays tender. It’s an unapologetically bold sharing plate — smoky, tangy, and deeply lemak. Not the kind of thing you’d find at your neighbourhood nasi lemak stall, and that’s precisely the point.

Kueh Pie Ti

A starter worth ordering before the mains arrive. The Kueh Pie Ti comes in crispy tart shells filled with jicama and baby lobster — an elegant, snackable nod to heritage Peranakan cooking. Light and fun to eat, it sets the tone for the meal ahead.

Traditional Kuehs

An assortment of kuehs meticulously hand-crafted in-house — some familiar, some forgotten — refined in collaboration with Singapore’s kueh expert Christopher Tan. Each piece is an ode to coconut milk in a different form, from texture to sweetness. Order a selection to end the meal on a properly local note.

Chendol

The Chendol comes loaded with sweet mung bean jelly, gula melaka, and creamy coconut milk — a classic done without shortcuts. It’s listed among the restaurant’s own crowd picks , and it earns that status. Cool, sweet, and grounding after a rich meal.

The Coconut Shake

Made from coconut water, coconut milk, coconut ice cream, and coconut meat, this drink doubles down on the restaurant’s whole identity and manages to be refreshing rather than cloying. Order it alongside your nasi lemak set and commit fully to the experience.

The Coconut Club isn’t cheap — expect to spend around $25–$35 per person — but the quality of ingredients and the level of care in execution justify the premium. Premium ingredients like aged Thai Jasmine rice, high-quality ikan bilis, and cold-pressed-on-site coconuts are part of what separates this from a typical hawker plate. The Beach Road flagship sits in a whitewashed traditional shophouse with wicker back chairs, banana leaf print wallpaper, and cheerful blue-and-white tiled flooring — a space that feels festive and communal, ideal for groups. There are now three outlets: Beach Road (the flagship), Siglap, and River Valley, so there’s little excuse not to visit. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for the flagship.
