KL Bucket List #3 Nasi Lemak

The food theme for ticking items off the bucket list continues, with a local stalwart - nasi lemak - being had for breakfast this morning. This dish is basically rice cooked in coconut milk, served with sambal, ikan bilis, peanuts, boiled egg, and cucumber. That verion is called biasa, or basic. Today I had one of my staples, which is with ayam masak mera, a spicy chicken dish.

Of all the local (specifically Malay) foods, this one is perhaps the most prevalent. You can get it at classy restaurants, fast food shop, cafe's, 7-11, supermarkets, and pretty much any other place that sells food. My preference though, is shown below:

Yes I find it hard to go past the good old NL lady up the road from our house. There must be a dozen of these within 5 minutes of our place, so who knows how many in KL, 1000's no doubt! For my wife and I, with the extra dish, plus a fried egg each, it was only RM10.50, about A$3.50. Awesome value!

It comes wrapped in grease-proof paper, and is shown below. Looks a bit messy I admit, but oh boy does it taste good!
