Breakfast Of Childhood
In continuation of previous' post. Last Sunday we went and be a part of Milo Breakfast Movement, I went for a 7K run and then the family enjoyed some breakfast (and a whole lot of Milo drinking) in UPM.
What's your favourite breakfast?
I haven't had this often nowadays but I love these two dishes. It's something I always had during the weekends when I was growing up in my hometown in Raub, Pahang.
Laksam.
Not to be confused with Laksa Assam. Flat rice noodle served with a generous serving of white fish-based gravy(the white colour comes from coconut milk) and topped with ulam or raw vegetables such as shredded cucumbers, sliced long beans, bean sprouts, daun kesum... and then to make it tastier, a dollop of sambal belacan.
Nasi Impit.
No need to eat with satay.
Just the compressed rice (hence the name impit) and peanut sauce.
Even for me, I only cook this once a year, for Hari Raya.
Had these recently and boy was I happy. ^^
Laksam? Never eaten before! Why looks like chee cheong fun?
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look like one. Coarser im texture though, IMO
DeleteNasi impit with peanut sauce? Yum!! I love peanut sauce! : )
ReplyDeleteMe too! :-)
DeleteI think I ate this in Thailand before. They look so similar except that it was slightly yellowish. Ramadhan is coming and I am sure they will sell Laksam at the food bazaar.
ReplyDeleteyeah, can look for them at stalls selling Kelantanese delicacies. :-)
DeleteI am ashamed to say that I haven't tasted Laksam yet. But Nasi Impit and Kuah Kacang are one of my favorite food!! I can eat them for days without rasa muak! :D
ReplyDeleteyou mesti bukan orang pantai timur. ;-)
Deletei pun x muak mkn nasi input & kuah kacang tp tu la kan, kena gak kontrol intake :-D
I love Nasi Impit too but the peanut sauce must be spicy and good!! That is important.
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteSama taste la kita Anay :-)
I have never heard of Laksam. Not sold in Singapore, I'm sure. Want to try it.
ReplyDeletecan try at Belanga if you drop by Mid Valley :-)
DeleteI totally like nasi impit and kuah kacang.
ReplyDeleteLaksam heard of it, but never try before. The rice noodles like chee cheong fun eh!
ReplyDeleteYes it does! :)
DeleteToday, u blog about your childhood food.
ReplyDeleteSK blog about his one too - Ding Dong.
Me pula post something I like during my childhood time - ais krim potong
Great minds think alike! Hahaha
DeleteGosh, I love Laksam so much... the spicier the better, barula ada kick, right Sis? Hehee... Gravy yang lemak2 tuh sangat sedap n super sinful yumm! Drooled...
ReplyDeleteApa kata carbo load laksam minggu ni? hehehe
DeleteNever try Laksam before. Wonder how it tastes like???
ReplyDeleteLike chee cheong fun eaten with a creamy fish gravy. ;)
DeleteOooo...laksam!!! Kelantan specialty. Tried once here - managed to buy from my kampung stall - Kelantan lady made. Nice! Never saw it on sale since. Nasi impit, not my favourite. I prefer ketupat.
ReplyDeleteKetupat harder and takes more time to cook. Nasi Impit easier. ;)
DeleteApuuuuuuu!!!! So many people dunno laksam, never tried. Lose out to me all the way here on the other side of the sea. Shy lah!!!

Why don't you make it more often? It looks yummy! ^^
ReplyDeleteThey are easy to cook but tedious in preparing for the ingredients, that's why. ;p
Deletemust. not. look. at. food. pics. when. hungry.
ReplyDeleteMust.avoid.piffles'.blog.when.hungry.
Delete:-D
I love nasi impit too with the peanut sauce. Yummy!
ReplyDeletethey taste nice :-)
DeleteAll these food reminded me of my Malay colleague's Raya Open House party. She would serve us Laksam, Nasi Impit and Rendaing Ayam. I actually like lemang more.
ReplyDeleteLemang is more sinful to eat.
DeletePlus more tedious to make. ;-)
Nasi impit!! My favourite! I can have 20 pieces of it and still going on.
ReplyDeletefor me, I just a little bit of the nasi input but put lotsa peanut sauce. ;-)
DeleteLaksam, laksa Johore, laksa Penang, laksa Kedah, Ah Hua loves all sort of laksa and its-look-alike.
ReplyDeletemak oi...laksam....remind me to tapau laksam from a stall near my house. See if you will like it
ReplyDeletefor me i dont like it coz tak biasa makan but hubi likes
DeleteEast coast ppl like it la... Biasa makan. ;-)
Deletebesides drinking a lot of Milo that day, i think you also brought back a lot of Milo sachets home right?? that's what i saw on the table at home, my two sisters went for the run..
ReplyDeleteand a mug too. :-D
DeleteYour sisters went, how come you didn't??????
Your sister look at their run result already or not? Remind them if they haven't. :-)
my favorite breakfast ah?? errr, of course ada ham ada sausage ada baked beans ada bacon ada ham ada eggs ada toast ada baked potato ada grilled tomato ada fruit juice.. like that only lor~~ :D
ReplyDeleteso orang putihhhhhhhhh!!!!! :-D
Deletefuyoh, laksam!! never tried that before, it looks like chee chong fun in rice porridge to me from the photo!! haha.. errr, so it's actually laksa asam with santan??
ReplyDeletebingo! Sk such clever boy. ;-)
Deletenasi impit!! i learn a new word today, often when i order this at satay stall, i'll just say nasi only, haha!! errr, how is this different from ketupat??
ReplyDeleteketupat is in the daun kelaoa casing. Nasi input is not.
DeleteYums laksam is nice.. Especially when hot..
ReplyDeleteI too only have nasi impit with lontong on Hari Raya only. But we make it twice a year.. For aidilfitri n aidiladha.. :)
tu la kan... Now dah relegated to only Raya menu.
