REALLY GOOD
1st NASI LEMAK
Madam Kwan's Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang
Steamed rice cooked in coconut cream. Served with Beef Rendang (Mild Dry Coconut Curry Beef) [or with Curry Chicken], Sambal Ikan Bilis (Spicy Anchovies & Onions), Acar (Spicy Pickled Carrot & Cucumber), Shrimp Floss, Hard-boiled Egg and Sliced Cucumber. A very good combination, making it a rather delicious Nasi Lemak! The Acar was simply wonderful! Voted as ‘The Best’ by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia - I say, “Worth a try!” #nasilemak #rice #fish #beef #delicious
2nd NASI LEMAK
Village Park Restaurant, Petaling Jaya
Village Park is a highly popular eatery, serving Malaysian delights to all, including Prime Ministers. The nasi lemak is generally delectable, served with a fragrant coconut milk & pandan flavoured rice, a nice sweetish sambal (more like a sauce) and a delightful fried chicken with ‘rempah’ (bits of the fried seasoning!). The fried chicken is so popular here, it is reputed they serve in excess of 3000 pieces a day! Blimey! Go during odd-hours, as queues can be pretty damn long during regular meal times (and its prices are marked higher than average)! #nasilemak #friedchicken However, after today’s showing a downgrade to ‘Pretty Good’ may be necessary! ;)
3rd NASI LEMAK
Gerai Nasi Lemak Medan Kelana, Klang
This stall has been around for over 60 years. An all-round delicious nasi lemak, served with it’s famed squid sambal (cooked perfectly!) and the usual peanut, egg, cucumber and chilli sambal complements. And if squid isn’t your thing, the chicken rendang alternative is excellent too! #nasilemak #rice #coconut #chicken #squid #sambal #spicy #breakfast
4th NASI LEMAK
Restaurant I.V., Pelabuhan Klang
Simple nasi lemak. Good fragrant coconut rice and a nice flavourful, mildly spicy sambal. Well done! #rice #nasilemak #cheapeats
5th NASI LEMAK AYAM GORENG
Say Yes Cafe, Petaling Jaya
A delectable dish and it had to be, as it takes some gall to serve up the same on the very street as Village Park, one of the most renown Nasi Lemak places in the Klang Valley! Kudos to the proprietor! However, this dish comes with a caveat: the use of MSG; left me with a thirst for the greater part of the day. #nasilemak #rice #coconut #friedchicken #sambal #cucumber #peanut #egg Btw… the Glutinous Rice with Beef Rendang was excellent too. See the other pic.
6th NASI LEMAK ORIGINAL (SIMPLE SAMBAL)
Bungkus Kaw Kaw @ Central i-city, Shah Alam
Simple. Small. Scrumptious. Spicy!. With all the sides: cucumber, boiled egg, fried peanuts and anchovies. #nasilemak #rice #malay #breakfast #delicious #coconutmilkrice
8th NASI LEMAK AYAM MERAH (‘RED’ CHICKEN)
Bungkus Kaw Kaw @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya
Really rather good for these snack-sized banana leaf wrapped nasi lemaks. The ‘red chicken’ is tasty and rice is fragrant, and the fried anchovies are nicely salted. However, though dinky, it’s big on price! Certainly, not something to binge on… especially in these tough economic times! #nasilemak #rice #chicken #snack #asian
9th NASI LEMAK AYAM RENDANG (CHICKEN RENDANG)
Bungkus Kaw Kaw I-city Mall, Shah Alam
Simple. Small. Scrumptious. With all the sides: cucumber, boiled egg, fried peanuts and anchovies. A new addition to the range of nasi lemaks- small, tasty portions but pricey- good when one doesn’t want to overload the stomach. Must admit, have developed somewhat of an addiction to BKK nasi lemaks! Oops! Ouch! #nasilemak #rice #malay #breakfast #delicious #coconutmilkrice
PRETTY GOOD
10th VEGETARIAN NASI LEMAK
Simple Life Healthy Vegetarian Restaurant - AEON Bukit Tinggi, Klang
Tried this out of curiosity and am quite amazed that this turned out better than I had anticipated. All the accompaniments were rather good, including the vegetarian ’beef’ rendang. However, not entirely sure about the brown rice cooked in coconut milk - brown rice has a too distinct flavour which overpowers the coconut milk. Nevertheless, it was all pretty good together! #nasilemak #vegetarian #rice #egg #vegetables
11th NASI LEMAK AYAM GORENG BEREMPAH
Kedai Kopi Malaya @ NU Empire, Subang Jaya
As nasi lemak goes, this is pretty decent except it just lacks aromatic depth. Good enough for a belly-filler. #nasilemak #rice #malay #malaysian #chicken #fried
12th NASI LEMAK
Bungkus Kaw Kaw @ Central i-city, Shah Alam
A delectable dish, but just short of a ‘Really Good’ rating! A nice sweetish, mildly spicy sambal; served up with cucumbers, peanuts, half a boiled egg and screwpine-infused coconut milk rice. Had 7-8 shrimps, which is fairly generous nowadays. But still, punches a hole in the pocket with its price for something small! #nasilemak #malaysia #fastfood #rice
JUST OK
13th NASI LEMAK
BSC Fine Foods, Kuala Lumpur
Good enough for a stomach filler. #nasilemak #rice #sambal
