About Village Park Restaurant
Village Park in Damansara Uptown serves what many locals consider the gold standard for nasi lemak ayam goreng. The signature plate costs RM12.50 and features a slab of deep-fried chicken with shatteringly crisp skin over fragrant coconut rice, sambal, peanuts, anchovies and cucumber. The chicken is marinated in a spiced turmeric blend and fried to order.
Village Park is walk-in only with no reservations. Arrive before 9 am on weekdays to beat the worst of the queue. Weekend mid-morning waits can run 30 to 45 minutes. The restaurant is technically in Petaling Jaya, about 20 minutes by Grab from KL city centre, but it consistently appears on every KL food list. Cash and card accepted. The nearest rail option is the Taman Bahagia LRT station, a 10-minute walk or short Grab ride. Order a side of their sambal petai (stink beans in chilli paste) if you want the full local experience.

The ayam goreng berempah at Village Park is the crispiest fried chicken I have had in Malaysia. The turmeric-spiced coating shatters when you bite into it and the meat stays moist. The nasi lemak plate at RM12.50 is a steal for this quality. Came at 8 am on a Wednesday — no wait at all.

My family has been coming to Village Park every weekend for years. We always get the nasi lemak with fried chicken and an extra side of sambal petai. The stink beans with chilli paste are bold and pungent — not for everyone, but they complete the plate perfectly.

Drove out from KL centre and it took 30 minutes in traffic. The nasi lemak and fried chicken were as good as everyone says — crispy skin, juicy meat, fragrant coconut rice. The sambal leans sweet rather than fiery. Worth the trip but plan it as a morning outing.

Ordered the nasi lemak with rendang daging since they had already sold out of fried chicken by 2 pm. The rendang was deeply spiced and tender. Lesson learned — come before noon on weekends for the full experience. The coconut rice on its own is genuinely excellent.

Simple, well-executed nasi lemak. The sambal is sweet and rich, the ikan bilis are properly crispy, and the peanuts are well-roasted. The fried chicken is the standout though — the spice marinade and the crunch are what bring people back. No air conditioning so it gets warm during the lunch rush.
