MALAYSIA: Nasi Lemak

This week I’m gonna talk about food again. What I want to introduce is Nasi Lemak. Nasi Lemak is a Malay cuisine that rice are cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. Many Malaysians love to eat Nasi Lemak. It is considered one of the most famous dishes for a Malay-style breakfast. Nasi Lemak usually sold by Malay. It generally served with peanuts, boiled egg, cucumber, anchovies and sambal (a type of chili sauce).

Some Chinese will call it ‘辣死你媽’. It is because of Namewee (黃明志) had directed a movie which call ‘辣死你媽’. If you are interesting in his movie, you can watch his movie. It is quite funny.
