Can't sleep in Jinjang? Ping Jie's late-night nasi lemak is waiting

Every neighbourhood needs a place for the hours when everything sensible has closed. For Jinjang, our editor points to this stretch of roadside. The message is short and practical: if you're a Jinjang person who can't sleep in the middle of the night, come here and find something to eat.

The star of the stop is Ping Jie Nasi Lemak, whose bright yellow banner carries a cheeky Chinese name that will make locals grin. It's a stall with a sense of humour, and it suits the mood out here. Tables and red plastic stools fill the side of the road under a red canopy, people stand around waiting for their plates, and the whole thing feels more like a small gathering than a restaurant.

The plates in our editor's photos show what supper can look like. On one, rice is piled up with a boiled egg, cucumber, sambal and a golden fried square. On the other, fine orange bee hoon shares the plate with chunks of potato, meatballs and a big spoonful of red sambal. It's the kind of plate where you try a bit of everything and go back for the sambal.

Diners on Google paint the same picture. They talk about fragrant rice and a sweet-spicy sambal, and about the good choice of side dishes, which makes this feel like a late-night economy rice stop as much as a nasi lemak stall. The pork rendang gets a special mention, and reviewers find it good value for a supper plate.

A note on finding it. Our editor uses the Hokkien mee stall 山记炒面档 as the landmark, because Ping Jie sits close by. If you're coming from there, look for the red canopy and the yellow banner. The Google Maps button below goes to Ping Jie's own listing rather than to the neighbouring stall, so follow that one.

Roadside stalls can change their nights, so it's worth checking before you make a special trip. Otherwise, bring a friend who is also awake, and order more sambal than you think you need.

🍽️ What to order

• Nasi lemak with sambal
• Pork rendang, a favourite with reviewers
