Inside the bundle was warm coconut rice infused with the vanilla-like aroma of pandan leaves and citrusy ginger accompanied by a hard-boiled egg, crispy fried anchovies and peanuts, a few slices of cucumber, and a dollop of sambal.

Steps to make Nasi Lemak:
  1. Re-hydrate the dried anchovies and dried chilies in 2 separate bowls by covering with with boiling water for 20 minutes.

  3. Drain and de-seed the rehydrated chilies and add it to the blender.
  4. Drain the rehydrated anchovies and add it to the blender.
  5. Roughly chop the soft portion of the lemongrass and garlic, and add it to the blender.

Nasi lemak literally means 'rice' and 'fat'. However, the 'fat' refers to the creaminess of the coconut milk which is used in cooking the rice. My son Lucas now can take over my place as Nasi Lemak Lover, Lolz ^_^. He is now eating more nasi lemak than me. He is a junior of Nasi Lemak Lover.
