Nasi Lemak Day at FHKL

Mm.. what a delicious Thursday

If you don’t know what nasi lemak is, you’re missing out on a cornerstone of Malaysia’s heritage. Think: rice soaked in coconut cream, then steamed with pandan and ginger to creamy, aromatic perfection. Serve with a side of sambal sotong and sambal kerang (a spicy taste-explosion of chilli sauce cooked with cuttlefish and cockles). And to top it all off, crunchy fried anchovies, a fried egg (yolk still slightly runny), roasted peanuts and crisp cucumber slices to take the edge of the heat.

Mmm.. so good.
