After my afternoon run, I chance upon a newly opened food kiosk near UPLB-Gate which serves Malaysian Cuisine, armed with curiosity I ordered Nasi Lemak. It was my first time to try Malaysian dish and honestly I liked it.
Nasi simply means "wrapped in a leaf", so in Filipino version, it is equivalent to "Binalot sa Dahon". I ordered Teh Tarik which is actually a Malay's version of a milk tea and of course, I had Nasi Lemak for my dinner. It is a rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf which is usually served with chicken fillet (or you choose for fish variance), addictive spicy sambal, sliced cucumbers, deep-fried anchovies, fried peanuts and hard-boiled eggs.
It is widely popular in Malaysia along with neighboring Brunei, and Southern Thailand and is considered one of the most famous dishes for a Malay-style breakfast.
