There’s something deeply satisfying about a good plate of nasi lemak. The fragrant coconut rice, crunchy peanuts, crispy anchovies, juicy cucumber, and of course, the sambal – it’s a dish close to the hearts of many across Southeast Asia. But what happens when a street food giant from Taiwan like Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks gives this local favourite a bold, limited-time twist to celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday? You get the Crispy Chicken Nasi Lemak set, and it’s worth shouting about.
From 24 July to 31 August 2025, Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks is rolling out an SG60 special that cleverly blends their signature crispy chicken with the unmistakable charm of nasi lemak. At just $6 for the standalone meal or $9.90 for a full set with seafood tempura fries and a drink, this promotion promises to excite both the tastebuds and the wallet.
So why should anyone in Singapore be heading down to their nearest Shihlin outlet during this period? Here’s everything they need to know about this unique promotion – and why it’s more than just another fast food gimmick.
A Delicious Fusion That Works
Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks is known for its crispy fried chicken – tender on the inside, golden and crunchy on the outside – and they’ve used that as the heart of this nasi lemak fusion. Unlike typical fried chicken that might feel out of place in traditional nasi lemak, Shihlin’s take is bold yet surprisingly harmonious with the components of the dish.
This isn’t just an arbitrary mash-up. The meal comes complete with fluffy coconut rice, a slice of fluffy omelette, crispy ikan bilis (anchovies), peanuts, fresh cucumber, and the show-stealing sambal chilli. This sambal is not just any ordinary chilli paste – it’s specially sourced from Kuala Lumpur’s legendary Village Park Nasi Lemak, a place beloved by nasi lemak purists. Known for its sweet-spicy balance and rich, lingering heat, the sambal delivers a comforting depth that elevates the entire dish. It ties the elements together beautifully, giving each mouthful a kick without overwhelming the rest of the plate.
It’s not easy to fuse two strong culinary traditions without overcomplicating things. Yet, this SG60 Nasi Lemak set manages to feel both familiar and exciting at once – a testament to how thoughtfully it has been crafted.
A Great Value Treat for All
In a time where food prices have climbed steadily, finding a hearty, flavourful meal for under $10 is no small win. At just $6, the base set is already quite a steal. But those who want the full indulgence should opt for the $9.90 combo, which includes seafood tempura fries and a refreshing drink – a complete, satisfying meal that won’t break the bank.
This kind of value-for-money deal is what draws people back to Shihlin outlets time and time again. Whether one’s looking for a quick lunch, a convenient dinner, or simply something delicious to enjoy on the go, this offer ticks all the boxes.
Widely Available Islandwide
Another reason this promotion stands out is accessibility. With over 20 outlets scattered across Singapore, from the heart of Orchard to suburban corners like Sengkang and Canberra, finding a Shihlin outlet is easy no matter where one lives or works.
It’s especially handy for those commuting through MRT stations, shopping in popular malls, or spending time at family-friendly areas like Jewel Changi Airport or Northpoint City. It allows diners to enjoy this special meal without going out of their way – a bonus for those with busy schedules.
While the offer is available at all Shihlin outlets, do take note that the Ang Mo Kio and NEX branches are not participating in this promotion. Stocks are also limited, so it’s best not to leave it till the last minute.
Why It’s Worth the Try
Let’s face it – Singaporeans are spoilt for choice when it comes to food. From hawker stalls to high-end restaurants, the options are endless. But this SG60 promotion is more than just a marketing move. It’s a culinary tribute that manages to respect both Taiwanese and Malaysian/Singaporean food culture, and it does so in a way that’s accessible, affordable, and genuinely tasty.
It’s also part of something bigger – a celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday. In a country that takes its food seriously, tying in such a beloved national dish is a fitting way to commemorate the occasion. There’s something about enjoying this limited-time nasi lemak while surrounded by national pride and community that adds an extra layer of joy to the experience.
Moreover, it’s not every day that diners get to taste a sambal that’s flown in from a place as iconic as Village Park. For many, that alone makes the deal worth checking out.
For Foodies and Everyday Diners Alike
Whether someone’s a self-professed foodie or just someone who enjoys a good meal after a long day, the SG60 Crispy Chicken Nasi Lemak Set is designed to appeal to a wide crowd. It’s hearty enough for a main meal, comforting enough to be familiar, and new enough to offer a twist from the everyday.
Those who have never tried Shihlin before will find this a great entry point into what they do best, while loyal fans of the brand can enjoy a new take on their all-time favourites.
This promotion runs for just over a month, so there’s enough time to try it once – or return for a few more helpings.
Final Thoughts
Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks has long been a go-to name for quality Taiwanese fast food, but with this SG60 Nasi Lemak set, they’ve shown they can embrace local flavours with authenticity and flair. Combining crispy fried chicken with the beloved elements of nasi lemak, and elevating it with KL’s Village Park sambal, the result is a bold, well-rounded dish that’s as enjoyable as it is meaningful.
As Singapore celebrates its 60th birthday, this limited-time offer is a tasty way to join in on the festivities. Whether one’s a local food enthusiast or just someone who enjoys exploring affordable food promotions, this deal is too good to miss.
