5AM Nasi Lemak
I stayed up until now (Current time is 5:56AM.) but tonight’s progress was very slow and basically was an unproductive night / morning. As usual, I had my breakfast - “Nasi Lemak” and a cup of Iced “Teh-O” at the nearby market. I did not order half boiled eggs from the Ah Po. I still do not have any confidence with her, afraid that my half boiled eggs might turn out to be hard boiled eggs. Next time!
When I first ate the “Nasi Lemak”, I gave a bad remark due to its chilies / “sambal” that came along with the plate of rice. Well, it is not “sambal” actually. It is those kind of “sambal” that is cooked from dried chilies, grinded together with ginger, onions, garlics and other spices, which is cooked over low fire after that until it is fully cooked. There are no anchovies inside and is totally different from the “sambal” that the Malays usually served along with this dish.
After eating a few times and getting used to its chilies, I fell in love with it. I love the chilies so much that I always scoop at least 4 big spoon of the chilies just for one plate of “Nasi Lemak”. The Ah Po has been making noise out of it because the chilies I take is enough to serve another 3 to 4 plates. I do not really care as I love to eat chilies and anything that is hot and spicy. I cannot live without chilies and ice cubes as well.
Another interesting thing is that, this “Nasi Lemak” is best eaten between 5AM and 5.30AM. Other than the time mentioned, the rice just does not taste so good. I do not know why and I am yet to find out the reason behind it. Not only that, never ever take away / “da pao” it home. It tastes different. I also do not know why, but it is true that it does not taste as good as while you are eating there.
This plate of “Nasi Lemak” is only RM2 and only has these basic ingredients. Look at the amount of chiles! Usually, I shall scope another 2 more spoon when I have eaten 60% of the rice. Sometimes, I really pity the Ah Po.
Side note : Because of being served with rice and raw vegetable Nasi Lemark is delicious and is a source of fiber diet too. Inclusion of fish makes it makes a hot spicy protein diet, that along with spoiling your taste buds, can also aide in weight lose. Another tempting feature of Nasi Lemark is its being a gluten free diet making a good choice for majority of the masses out there.
