They have a wide variety of food served here ranging from Nasi Lemak to Pasta and all the way to crispy Nachos that are perfect for some supper snacking. While their cooking involves some heavy flambe, you don’t need to worry about burning any hole in your pocket at BLOK 5. Every item here is priced at a maximum of RM10 only. Let’s get down to it, shall we?
Nasi Goreng Ayam Crispy (RM 6)
The Nasi Goreng Ayam Crispy comes with crispy fried chicken, fried egg and accompanied with sambal that has an extra spicy kick to it. Pair all of them into one single bite and it’s a firework of flavours on your tastebuds, with a lingering spicy after-taste. Think you’ve got the spicy-tolerant gene in you? Try out the Nasi Goreng Ayam Crispy and see if you can live up to the challenge!
Nachos Cheese (RM 5.50)
We all know how good nachos are especially when they are combined with cheese. That gooey cheese which complements with the crispy nachos..truly a pair made in heaven. BLOK 5 is extremely generous when it comes to the cheese topping. They don’t just dump cheese atop nachos, they actually melt the cheese after so what you get is a plate of heavenly yellow, oozy, crunchy nachos cheese. Need we say more? Oh wait, they also add their personal rendition by including chillies and onions. Some may find it a tad out of the norm but it’s this diversion from the norm that makes BLOK 5 visit-worthy.
