Hi everyone…
Today I would love to share about our most famous dishes for a Malay-style breakfast which is ‘Nasi Lemak’.
It is a Malay fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. You could found it at every place in Malaysia such in restaurant, small stall even along road. You could eat ‘Nasi Lemak’ in many style…maybe you could eat with eggs, chicken, vegetables or even just plain one. But don’t miss the ‘Ikan bilis’(small fried anchovies), ‘kacang goreng’ and ‘sambal’ (hot spicy sauce).
However, owing to its popularity there are restaurants which serve it as a noon or evening meal, making it possible for the dish to be eaten all day. Nasi lemak kukus which means “steamed nasi lemak” is another name given to nasi lemak served with steamed rice. In Malaysia, nasi lemak can also be found in a pasar malam (night market) with a variety of dishes.
Some people suggest that sambal is the most important part of a nasi lemak meal. If not prepared properly, it could ruin the dish, since Malaysians love food that is hot and spicy. A good deal of spirited and good-natured debate exists around this point.
*Don’t try this if you have heart-attacked and high-cholesterol.
