Malaysia's Fave Food : Nasi Lemak!!


One of Malaysia's most loved foods has got to be nasi lemak (rice cooked with coconut milk). Boleh kot di consider nasi lemak ni makanan national negara kita. Despite (un)popular belief that says nasi lemak is loaded with calories (because of the coconut milk), people still love nasi lemak.  Pagi, petang, malam, tengah malam, dini hari, semua orang akan makan nasi lemak.


Nasi lemak has many versions.  But the common nasi lemak would have these : sambal ikan bilis (anchovy spicy sauce), hard boiled egg, slices of cucumber and fried peanuts.

MY version varies from time to time.  Depending on what I have at home.  On this particular day, my nasi lemak is accompanied by :

Fried chicken. Notice almost all are the bony parts.
Memang kurang gemar ayam yang banyak isi tu.
 
Fried prawns. Skin and all, semua masuk.
Sedap... very crispy and tasty. Puji sendiri ooo...

Telur dadar aka omellete
 
And of course no nasi lemak is complete without
the sambal tumis ikan bilis (dried anchovy spicy sauce).
I love onions in my sambal. Plenty of onions....

 
Cucumber slices... 


 My nasi lemak. A bit hangus.
Masak dalam rice cooker pun boleh hangus.
 
All together now. Ready to be savored!
YUMMY!!!
 
And this is my plate. 
Special sikit sebab ada telur mata sapi. 
BON APPETIT!

weh hain.. kat coventry pun ada pekan rabu ke? hehe... i pun suka buat sambal tumis sotong besar tu tapi tak pernah beli yg kering.. beli yg dah kembang tu.. but now it's so expensive.. few yrs ago, it was only 6-9rm per kg. .now dah around 14-16rm/kg.. heran aku.. rasanya sbb caterer org kawin now selalu buat sambal sotong kering tu as one of their dishes.. tu yg harga melonjak2 tu...

anon @ 1.43am ... thank you :)))

memang sedap nasi lemak saya.. hehe.. puji diri sendiri.. tapi versi kukus saya kurang gemar.. sbb i like my rice to be moist and soft and lembik.. kalau kukus tu dia cam dry sikit kan...
