Nasi Lemak, considered as Malaysia's national dish, is a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. It is also very popular with Asian countries such as Brunei, Singapore and Thailand. Due to the nasi lemak's versatility in being able to be served in a variety of manners, it is now served and eaten any time of the day.
Below is a picture of the Nasi Lemak:
Nasi Lemak is usually served with anchovies, peanuts, boiled egg, lamb curry (I opted for the chicken this time round) , cucumber, and traditional chili paste. The rice, together with the peanuts, gave out a fragrant smell, and being a foodie, I could not await to sample the delicious food after a long morning of activities. I scooped some rice with the chili paste into my mouth and I felt a sweet taste in my mouth. I chewed slowly to sample the popular Malay cuisine. After finishing the peanuts and the boiled egg, which were a complement to add to the flavor of the dish, I munched on the cucumbers next, which was crispy and left a cooling sensation in my mouth to prepare me for the chicken wing, which I had planned to have last. The chicken was succulent and tender and anyone would drool at the sight of that.
The ingredients that made up this meal were finely chosen and was a match made in Heaven. It was a delectable meal I would never forget.
