Nasi Lemak is omnipresent in practically all eating places and establishments in KL. “Nasi” is fragrant rice, and “Lemak” is literally fat. It’s served with a salty-spicy red sauce, along with roasted peanuts and anchovies. It can come in a plate or shaped like a triangle in a banana leaf and brown paper.
It can be eaten anytime of the day. It’s sold in a fancy “Restoran,” by street vendors in sidewalks, and in 7-11s.
I remember asking one of the colleagues at work, Nickesh, what local food I should eat, he said: “Nasi Lemak, you can’t go wrong there.”
He’s probably right.
