Nasi lemak,dan bercerita.

The plate you grew up with. Cooked slow, served fresh, and told with a little bit of drama. There's a story on every plate.

Chapter one — the name

A seloka is a playful verse. So is a plate of nasi lemak.

We started with one corner shoplot in Meru, one pot of sambal, and one stubborn idea: that nasi lemak deserves to be told properly. Not rushed. Every plate cooked like it has something to say. That's the whole cerita.

And because this is Ipoh, our menu doesn't stop at nasi lemak. Wantan mee, mee kari, roti bakar with telur kampung goyang, and a proper cup of Ipoh white coffee — the local favourites are all here too.

Chapter two — how a plate is built

Five layers. No shortcuts.

Scroll slowly. This is the order it happens in the kitchen every single morning.

Step 1 of 5

The rice

Santan, pandan leaf, a pinch of salt, and time. Steamed fresh through the day so the grains stay separate and the smell greets you before the plate does.

Fact: we never hold rice overnight. Finish means finish.

The sambal

Fresh cili, garlic and onion, blended in the morning and cooked slow — four hours, low fire, someone stirring. Sweet first, then the heat comes for you silently.

Fact: the colour comes from the chilli oil, not from anything else.

Telur goreng kampung

Crispy at the edges, fried the kampung way. For nasi lemak, this is the only egg. No other way.

The lauk

Ayam crispy, golden and crunchy, ayam gepuk smashed and spicy, or dendeng that spent four hours in the pot. Acar timun bunga kantan on the side to keep the palate balanced.

Fact: acar is not just for garnish. It's the reset button between bites.

The cerita

Then it goes to you. Every plate is put together by someone, with lots of love.

Fact: this is where your childhood memories come back.
Chapter three — the signatures

The ones people drive across town for.

Nasi Lemak Ayam Crispy
the plate everything is built on

Nasi Lemak Ayam Crispy

Golden crust, juicy inside, laid over santan rice with our slow sambal, telur goreng kampung and acar. If you only try one thing, this is the one. If you try two things, the second one is also this.

Ask for the whole leg if you're hungry. Ask for the gepuk if you like it smashed and spicy.

golden & crunchycut chicken or whole legchef's pick
Daging Dendeng
four hours in the pot

Daging Dendeng

Beef, spice paste, and patience. It sits in the pot for four hours until the sauce goes dark and sticky and clings to every fibre. Sweet, smoky, a little bit spicy — the kind of lauk that makes you order extra rice without realising.

Satay Seloka
kuah kacang, house recipe

Satay Seloka

Chicken or beef tenderloin on the stick, charred at the edges, served with kuah kacang, cucumber and onion. Best shared. Better ordered in twelves.

Fried Chicken

Same crust as the nasi lemak hero, on its own, with rice, sambal and coleslaw if you want the combo. Loud crunch, happy munch — the kids' favourite lunch.

Milo Dino
teh O, brewed from leaves

Teh O ais & Milo Dino

Our teh O ais is brewed in house from tea leaves — a Seloka signature, and the drink most people order twice. Ipoh white coffee for the mornings. Milo Dino for anyone who's 40 and wants to feel 20 again.

We're not reinventing nasi lemak. We're here to respect it, the way it should be — cook it slowly, serve it fresh, and let it tell its story to anyone who'll listen. From Ipoh, to wherever the next plate goes.

Chapter five — come and see

Two outlets. Same pot of sambal.

Both in Ipoh. Both cook from scratch every morning. Pick whichever is nearer — the cerita is the same.
