My head is spinning,
All this keeps me wondering,
What is actually happening..?
And so, to the kitchen i go,
To get myself a cup of coco,
After that, I felt like wow,
So now only I know,
That I am hungry yo~~!
I really don't know how to start, so i decided to start with a poem, a real weird one though.. haha! But hey, at least i tried right..
So anyways, today I'll be writing about food!!
*sings* Food, Glorious Food~~!! hehehe
Malaysia is a multiracial country. We come from Malay, Chinese, and Indian backgrounds. There are also other ethnics like Kadazan Dusun, Murut, Iban and many more.This diversity had resulted to a wide varieties of cuisine. Here in Malaysia, there is plenty of food to chose. Which is great for me coz i really enjoy eating! ^_^
Today, I'll present to you 1 of my favorite food of all time.
TAADAA~~!!
This is actually Malaysia's national dish. It is what we call it the 'nasi lemak'. A direct translation to is kinda funny, it is the 'fat rice'. It is not really made with
animal fat, veg fat or whatever fat what so ever, but it consist a lot of fat. It's rice is not cooked the normal way, but coconut milk is added to it. Screw pine leaves (daun pandan) and ginger is also added for fragrance.
'Nasi lemak' comes with 'sambal', a hot spicy sauce, as its core. Other than 'sambal', it usually comes with hard boiled egg, fried anchovies, roasted peanuts, and a few slices of cucumber. But to add variety to it, it can be served with fried chicken, cuttlefish sambal (sambal sotong), convolvulus (kangkong) and omlet.
Traditionally, 'nasi lemak' is wraped in banana leaf. And it has a triangle, pyramid-like shape. Like this..

This dish really is a national dish, as it is favoured by all races in Malaysia. It can also be eaten at any time of the day, as breakfast, lunch or even dinner!
I think the best way to eat this 'nasi lemak' is by using your hands (which is how Malays and Indians eat) and drink a cup of 'kopi O' (coffee with sugar) with it...
Emmmmm.... Nyummyy~~~
