My breakfast this morning–Nasi Lemak or Malaysian Coconut Milk Rice.
Nasi Lemak is the de-facto national dish of Malaysia. Nasi Lemak is usually served in the morning as breakfast. The toppings include anchovies sambal, hard-boiled eggs, fried fish and shrimp. Other common toppings include roasted peanuts and cucumber slices.

What do you do when you have 5 hours layover in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?
For me, as a foodie, and a true Malaysian, I hopped on the 28-minute KLIA Ekspres straight into downtown KL for some serious chow. Inflight food? No thanks! I have better grub for my stomach…(more picture after the jump)
I have written about this famed street food/hawker food dish (known locally as Penang Hokkien Mee) a couple of times; you can check out my previous entries here and here.
This time I added extra toppings on my prawn noodles with fresh water prawns. In Malaysia, we call this “加料”/”Gar Liew”/”Keh Liao”–which means you pay extra [...]
If you have been reading and following Rasa Malaysia for a while, you would notice that I am not much a carnivore. I prefer seafood, but I do like chicken a lot, especially chicken wings.
While most people perceive chicken as boring, I personally think that chicken–with the right recipe and preparation–can be very versatile and [...]
Many readers sent me emails requesting for Peanut Sauce recipe to go with my chicken satay, a recipe that I shared not too long ago. I apologize it look me this long to post the recipe for satay peanut sauce; it’s just one of those things that I procrastinate.
Last weekend, I was devising and perfecting [...]
Plump, juicy, succulent, perfectly cooked, soft, smooth, and absolutely DELICIOUS.
Prepared with the simplest of ingredients–fermented bean paste (taucheo), ginger, scallion, red chilies–this dish is a gem…
