Nasi goreng is ubiquitous in nearly every hawker stall and local eatery throughout the country. But can you remember the last time you had a really good plate of nasi goreng? The truth is, these days, an excellent rendition of this de rigeur staple is akin to the discovery of a unicorn.

This is exactly what Vicknezan Selvadurai and Joanne Lim set out to rectify when they launched their brand new delivery business Dapur Nasi Goreng in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur earlier this month. The two are no strangers to the F&B world, as they also own popular local eateries like Lankan Crabs and Ketam Viral, under the auspices of their company 11 Trees.
