Since studying in overseas, I have been learning how to cook at home because eating out is pretty expensive plus it is difficult to find great authentic taste of Malaysia.
Nasi Lemak is a traditional food in Malaysia which is also called Creamy Coconut Rice. It is usually served with crispy anchovies, peanuts, egg, cucumber and a side dish. The side dish can be curry chicken, fried chicken, sambal prawns basically it goes according to personal preferences.
So I made Nasi Lemak with Sis special request, Sambal chicken for dinner the other day. Here it is:
