NASI LEMAK The top spot must surely go to nasi lemak, which refers to rich, creamy rice cooked in coconut milk. Knotted screwpine leaves are often added during the cooking process to give the dish a beautiful fragrance. It is traditionally wrapped in banana leaves with fried anchovies, sliced cucumber, hard-boiled egg, and a slightly sweet, spicy sauce called sambal. These days, many wrap it in grease-proof brown paper. You can find many makeshift stalls in most local neighborhoods where they sell it. Some operate from their car boots or set up a simple table at a prominent street corner. malay cuisine
