| Nasi Lemak |
I had a simple Nasi Lemak Bungkus for my breakfast today and it was a complete breakfast for me. This is the legendary fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf commonly found in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, where it is considered as the most locals favorite dish.
I like my Nasi Lemak to be simple, the one served with delicious hot and spicy sauce (sambal), hard boiled egg, couple slices of cucumber, fried anchovies and peanuts. Also, together with a cup of Teh Tarik. |
