What A combination.....

Usually i will skip my breakfast because if i insist of taking any then the whole morning will be a disaster..i'll be sleepy then...but nowadays the trend has changed...i learned to skip my lunch instead....need to save some pennies.....alrite...today my sister drove me to office so we stopped at a mamak stall in Cheras...cos i heard their Nasi Lemak is so special (Nasi Lemak = Fatty Rice : Direct translation) and its an authentic Malaysian Food. Nasi Lemak can be found in some countries apart from Malaysia such as Singapore and Indonesia but off cos the taste wouldn't be the same my dear. Malaysian people prefer spicier nasi lemak while people in singapore prefer less spicier and indonesians hate spicy food hence their nasi lemak will be sweeter.


Nasi lemak is actually a kind of rice topped with some sambal (spicy gravy) that is wrapped in banana leaf. The rice is made of coconut milk and some slices of ginger to add some aroma to the rice. Since the rice is made of coconut milk hence it is known as fatty rice (high calory lah)..the spicy gravy is actually made of chilly extract, wether its dried chilly or normal fresh ones depends on the cook. Some limegrasses will make the sambal more tastier and aromatic. The main item of the sambal would normally be anchovies, fish, egg, chicken and so on. Its a norm to wrap nasi lemak with banana leaves as it is believed the banana could preserve the aroma, the taste and the originality of nasi lemak beside giving it a more traditional and Malaysian look...and its clean too...


So nasi lemak is some of the best breakfast menu among Malaysian accompanied with Teh Tarik (Milked Tea) or Teh "o" (Tea without milk).


I took nasi lemak with a cup of "kow" teh tarik...sedapnyer (delicious)...and above all it's cheap and easy.


So guys....try some today and post me some comments chow and adios...
