Gao Ji Shu Shi Nasi Lemak at Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre represents over three decades of culinary excellence, serving authentic Malaysian-style coconut rice since 1989 from their dedicated stall at #01-60 as part of the pioneer generation of hawkers who relocated from the historic Old Woodlands Town Centre. This veteran establishment has maintained unwavering consistency and quality throughout their long tenure in Singapore's competitive hawker scene, earning devoted customer loyalty through their commitment to traditional preparation methods, authentic flavors, and exceptional value that has made them one of the most respected nasi lemak specialists in northern Singapore.
The stall operates as a no-frills economic nasi lemak establishment that executes their fare extremely well, offering four carefully designed fixed sets that showcase different combinations of crowd-favorite nasi lemak ingredients, including Set 2 at .60 featuring sunny-side-up egg, chicken wing, and hotdog, and Set 4 at .70 with fried chicken drumstick and luncheon meat plus additional items. Customers seeking personalized meals can create custom plates by selecting their preferred ingredients for approximately .40, ensuring satisfaction for diverse tastes and appetite levels while maintaining the affordable pricing that makes quality nasi lemak accessible to students, families, and working professionals throughout the Woodlands community.
Featured prominently among the 12 best stalls at Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre worth recognition, Gao Ji Shu Shi continues to receive enthusiastic praise from longtime customers who have followed them since their original Woodlands checkpoint days, consistently noting that their quality has remained remarkably stable over the decades. Available for convenient delivery through foodpanda and GrabFood platforms, the stall combines traditional hawker authenticity with modern convenience, while their unassuming yellow signboards belie the exceptional value and consistently delicious nasi lemak that has sustained their reputation for over 30 years, making them an essential part of Singapore's rich hawker heritage and a cornerstone of Marsiling Mall's diverse culinary offerings.
The Nasi Lemak rice is amazing! The rice is very fragrant here as there is enough coconut milk (something sadly lacking at a lot of stalls outside). Other dishes are delicious too, including their chicken drumstick and otah. 👍
Serving is generous, price is affordable. They have a $3.60 set including egg, chicken wing and crabstick.
Service is good. Owners are friendly, and they will heat up your dishes to make sure the food is mininally warm. The rice is fragrant and hot on its own, very awesome.
The shop is located at the back of the hawker center (01-60). If u are not sure where is it, ask around for the owner with a burnt hand.
Give the stall a try, its worth it. 😊

1st time trying this nasi lemak from this shop and it was amazing! The fried chicken is very good, green lemak rice has the old school taste along with the egg and cabbage. Pure simple nasi lemak like how it should be! I also like to commend on the fastidious arrangement of the nasi lemak in my own take out box, the young man took pride in it.
To round it all up, the chilli is damn good too, very spicy!
Used to buy from the other stall with long queues, but their standard and serving size had dropped tremendously thus bringing me to this shop. No regrets!

My second time having their nasi lemak and it was still as great - I ordered the set which comes with drumstick, egg and veg. Portion was generous and they will cut up the chicken for you making it easier to eat.
A family business and owners are friendly. It’s one of the better nasi lemak I’ve eaten and I definitely recommend! Price is affordable too at less than $4.50.

Very good nasi lemak, even better than that other nasi lemak stall that many queue for.
Uncle is very friendly, and they always help to cut up the drumstick, making it easier to eat!
Been a regular now!

Best nasi lemak at marsiling mall. Better than tian tian which always has a long queue and tian tian is very stingy with rice, chilli and everything. Gao Ji is very generous - just tell them if you want more chilli, no additional charge, unlike tian tian. And their chilli is better too. Their rice is more lemak too and great service. They always cut the drumstick so that it's easy for anyone, old or young, to eat.
Did I mention also that they are about 1 dollar cheaper than tian tian? Their sets are all price at 3+ to 4+, whereas Tian tian start from 4.50 onwards.
They still kept the very old yellow signboard that reads gao ji out of nostalgia because it has helped fed the family for decades

Nasi lemak is really fragrant and has the pandan taste. The chili is balanced- sweet and not too spicy. Uncle is really friendly and attentive. He will toast and cut the chicken drumstick for you before serving.

I have been eating this store for more than 10 years. My favorite is their bee hoon with chicken wings, crabsticks, long beans and fish stick. The taste is awesome and the standard has been maintain through the years. The level of cleanliness is one of the tip top I’ve see in a hawker store. Uncle Auntie and their son take pride in their work! Worth going through the hawker to locate their store n I’m sure u will not be disappointed

Most delicious Nasi lemak ever eaten.
The rice is fluffy with pandan, fragant sambal chilli that is perfect with the cabbage n drumstick. Best part, drumstick is re toasted, then uncle will cut the meat off the bone, making it easy to eat! Hot n crispy skin
Sambal chili is handmade in-house, and uncle always ask if I want more 😋
Every Saturday, must go for set 3. (Closed on Sunday)
