Nasi lemak to malaysian is like char siew pao to the chinese, sandwich to the english, onigiri to japanese or hotdog bun to the americans. Concentrated in carbo for energy and enough protein and maybe a sliver of green covered with mouthwatering sauce for a complete take away meal. Still prefer the tradition Nasi lemak wrapped in Banana leaf with just half an egg, sambal ikan bilis and a thin slice of cucumber. Found this at the food stall along Beach Street one morning while waiting for the processing of eldest's passport.

And the sambal should be the sweet-spicy kind. Now you make me want to hunt for a packet too! But where to find at midnight? Am going to bed hungry :)
Yes! And the banana leaf gives it all a special fragrance, My kids dont like those that dont come wrapped in banana leaf!!
Fibrate:
