A Quintessential Malaysian Breakfast #2
Nasi Lemak is a coconut flavoured rice with spicy sambal, fried dried ikan bilis (anchovies), cucumbers, roasted peanuts and hard boiled eggs.Lovely to be eaten simply with the above or with accompaniments such as chicken or beef rendang, sambal sotong (cuttlefish), kerang (cockle) or paru (beef lung which is my favourite).
Not confined to being just a breakfast item anymore, Nasi Lemak can be enjoyed 24 hours a day!

I don't eat nasi lemak for breakfast, as you know, I only eat fruits : )
ReplyDeleteBut I do eat nasi lemak for lunch. And I like to have petai in my nasi lemak : )
@foong,
ReplyDeleteinteresting. Cooked petai with prawns/anchovies or just those petai on their own?
It's petai with prawns and sotong and anchovies. Yummy!
ReplyDeletemine would be a traditional, simple nasi lemak accompanied with spicy sambal, anchovies, lotsa cucumbers, hard-boiled egg. i don't take sotong, petai, kerang or paru.
