A plate of nasi lemak ayam goreng berempah.
MENTION nasi lemak, and my head is filled with the vision of rice soaked in coconut milk, pandan leaves and sambal ikan bilis. Yummy.
A traditional Malay dish, the nasi lemak has today sprouted 101 varieties and become a truly Malaysian dish as people from all races embraced it, stamped their mark on it and created their own versions of it.
Nasi lemak stalls can be found in practically every corner of the Klang Valley. One tiny nasi lemak stall in a huge Chinese restaurant caught my attention one day as I was driving home from work.
It's the only Indian stall at Restoran Chee Lok, and as I had been craving nasi lemak for days, I was dying to try out the version here.
The side dishes one can enjoy with the nasi lemak include (clockwise, top left) ayam masak lemak, mutton curry, sambal sotong and sambal kerang.
