Nasi Lemak
Sook Ying wanted to eat her mum’s nasi lemak. Knowing her mum won’t cook specially just for her, she told her mum that she has invited Suthing (婷婷**) and me to her house for dinner. Despite her cunning and evil plan, her mum bought it and was kind enough to prepare a complete nasi lemak dinner for us.
The basics like coconut milk rice, hard boil eggs, peanuts, fried anchovies, sambal with sotongs and cucumbers were included.
Her mum also threw in chicken curry, salted kembung fish and stir fried green beans. She also prepared cincau (grass jelly?) as desserts / beverages.
One freaking awesome nasi lemak meal for dinner.
Although the chicken curry and sambal were not spicy at all, it was good, especially those big chunks of potatoes. I had 2 big bowls of rice (The bowl was slightly bigger than the bowls we normally used.) and whacked as much as I could, no remorse. Ahaks!
Halfway through the dinner, Yan, who stays and works nearby, dropped by to join us for dinner too.
Throughout the dinner, 3 of them (Sook Ying, Teng Teng and Yan) were talking about the upcoming farewell party for some bloggers and My Blogger Con 2007 大马中文部落格祭 while I shamelessly helped myself with the food. After all, I am an outsider for the Chinese blogging community and I don’t know much what’s going on with their community.
It was a sumptuous dinner with great people indeed.
Here’s a shout out to Sook Ying’s mum :
Thanks a lot for the dinner, again. Certainly, I wouldn’t mind coming to your house for more! No pun intended. However, where’s the super big bowl of soup?
LOL.

Nasi lemak tanpa daun pisang adalah bukan nasi lemak.
Oleh itu, sila panggil nasi lemak yang tiada daun pisang itu sebagai “Nasi l*mak”
heheh

adeline:
I’m just regular visitor here, have no connction with jason, just thru web.
anyway, I feel something is missing when nasi lemak served without daun pisang.
maybe because of the smell of it.

Yan : I kind of miss the nasi lemak too. Nice meeting you too.
Hasbullah Pit : Kat rumah mana nak cari daun pisang? :P
GuaiSauJai : That you must ask Sook Ying, not me. Haha!
Keeyit : Home cooked is like that one loh, outside cannot get.
Robin : LOL. I hope you get your cravings satisfied.

Blueapple : Am doing advertising for Nuffnang loh. I don’t like it either.
Hasbullat Pit : Yes, the banana leaves will give the rice a special smell and taste, provided it is wrapped long enough with it.

I am so hungry! Em, I want to learn to cook nasi lemak…
August 21st, 2007 10:21
I know he joking lor…lol….but educating ppl is not bad mah.. a lot of ppl don’t know mah… about how the nice smell comes. Sharing la..not scolding….Hasbullah Pit not angry rite…he nice guy… well actually you can get daun pisang very easy and no need to grow it.. You can actually go to any market and look for those malay or indian sellers. I know in KL you can get it at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail market. It’s cheap. Or if you want cheapper go to Brickfields Road… there got plenty of shops that you can get daun pisang. Malacca I tak tahu la…
