Malaysians Delicacy ( Nasi Lemak )

The Malay word Nasi Lemak that literally means 'rice in cream' is derived from the cooking process whereby the rice is soaked in the coconut cream and left it to steam for several hours. In some culture, an addition of ginger , lemon grass or maybe screw pine leaves are used to enhance the fragrance.

Beside that, it is also well known for the way it was served. Traditionally, nasi lemak comes as a platter of food wrapped in banana leaves together along with hard boiled egg , a few slices of cucumber up to two or three , roasted peanuts, anchovies( ikan bilis ) and non the least the hot and FREAKING spicy sauce or you might call it sambal at its core.

Well, without denying the fact that nasi lemak can be quite mouth watering to say the least but some people might find it less of their appetite, this is due to the fact that some people for example my friend Christopher would prefer to have at least a piece of fried chicken in his daily basis. LOL !

All right, i guess we can work that out. By making the food more substantial , why not we add a variety of accompaniments to it ?? Nasi lemak can be added with this few eligible substance that will stimulate your taste bud to a whole new level. Heres a few suggestion, make sure to note this down. Chicken is a good source of protein and millions I mean MILLIONS of people in the world will be happy if a chicken is in their meal. However, seafoods such as fish, cuttlefish , cockle( kerang ) and shrimps or even tiger prawns is recommended. As well as some vegetarians that would prefer vegetables instead of chicken or seafood are not excuse because stir fried convolvulus (kangkung) and pickled vegetables ( achar ) are usually good combination with the red hot spicy sambal .There was one time in the morning where I came across this unique type of nasi lemak when i was walking along the pedestrian cross and i glimpse this old lady selling nasi lemak , she gave me this wicked looked on her eyes that kinda bothers me a little but i could not ignored it so I walk up to her stall and just peep at the menu and found out that her nasi lemak has an ' extra ' ingredient which is literally illegal for me to eat it because of my religious views but is consider okay for some people which is the beef. The beef she prepared is like some sort of rendang (stewed in coconut milk and spice) style and its gives out a tendering aroma and I do believe the meat is tender too.

Here is an example of a perfect nasi lemak that will melt your taste BUDS ~~
