Day 1 (My 1st Nasi Lemak)

Posted on | May 7, 2007 | No Comments

The one-hour trip and late afternoon arrival at the hotel sent our stomach grumbling & begging for food. For several moments though, it all disappeared once we got to check in on our room. Or shall I say our home for the next 7 days. Calling it a room would be a misnomer as it was a two-story, two-bedroom (with toilet & bath each) place. It also has a lounge with comfy couches and a fully equipped kitchen. What more can we asked for. By the way, we paid Sing$125 for this 1-week accommodation. Not bad, huh!?

The grumbling has got to be answered. And so our first authentic Malaysian dining happened. And 15 minutes away from our hotel is Bangsar, a place where several upscale restaurants and shopping area is located. Even then, we went directly to a street food court where the banner bearing the big words “Nasi Lemak” grabbed our attention. And there’s no better way to eat it than alfresco, so even if the place was a bit dim, we mingled with other diners who were enjoying their meal just along the side of the main street.

Nasi Lemak is a local food consist mainly of chicken, egg and several other sidings not to mention the variety of spicy sauces and dips available at our own picking. Its preparation likewise is not to be left unnoted – some were picked & place with the seller’s bare hand. But who cares anyway. The food was great. Unfortunately, due to their religious restriction, they don’t serve beer (or any other liquor), which I know would have been perfect with it.
