Nasi Lemak: National Dish Of Singapore Or Malaysia? | On The Red Dot: Food Fight - Part 3/4 

The good point of Indonesian is we've never claimed nasi lemak is Indonesian. We only say that nasi lemak is similar to nasi uduk as we have the same culture. But personally I believe that nasi lemak is Malaysian, thanks CNA

I'm Indonesian and I'm so annoyed at Indonesians who claim that nasi lemak and nasi uduk are the same thing when they're so different. We do have nasi lemak as well in provinces where Malay ethnic groups live like Riau, North Sumatra, Aceh, and West Kalimantan.

As an Indonesian watching a foodwar between neighbouring countries that doesn't include yours is actually fun 🤣🤣

Malaysia: Nasi lemak is mine! Singapore: No, it's mine! Indonesia: **silently eating Nasi Uduk**

Malaysian food definitely does not need Michelin sticker to validate its deliciousness… I like that Malaysian food is always underrated… Nasi lemak tepi jalan pun sedap, not specifically Wanjo ke, Village Park ke… Plus, this food war is ridiculous, just enjoy the food…

It's just funny that sometimes when Singapore and Malaysia fight over dish, somehow there's Indonesia smiling in the background either as the hidden winner or some similarities with their foods. 😂

As a Chinese person who spent sizable amount of time in SG, MY and Indonesia, and have been eating Nasi Lemak and Nasi Uduk like daily.. I have to say, Nasi Lemak is like a hardcore version of Nasi Uduk, the favor is so much stronger, which is a good thing, but have to say, the Chicken just taste so much better in Indonesia... it's a fresh and a complete different breed of chicken, compare to the supermarket chicken you get in SG.. so you don't really need the added coconut nor spicy kick...

Even though I'm not Singaporean or Malaysian nor Indonesian, I enjoyed the series. Love the sarcasm on the beginning 😂. Very informative! It's nice to learn about the food cultures of my fellow asean neighbors.

Nasi Uduk in Indonesia has some variations, nasi Uduk in java and Kalimantan generally had lighter coconut flavor and they emphasize in harmonization of the rice and condiment, meanwhile nasi Uduk Betawi (local race from greater Jakarta) and medan (they call it nasi gurih) have prominent coconut flavor

Nasi lemak is belong to Malaysia. Singaporeans eat nasi lemak because in the past, Singapore is part of Malaysia.

Singapore : Mine Malaysian : Mine Indonesian : This is nasi uduk Javanese. : This is sego gurih

Thank you Tony Boey, Chef Ming and Channel News Asia

Wrong question here. The question that should be asked and answered is "why is this even an issue?".

Very informative and fun video! I love it

The root trace of 'nasi lemak' is non-sensical in my personal view. No need to go as far as 14th or 17th century history. Singapore used to be part of Malaysia, so, whatever cuisine existed in Malaysia would have travelled to the island of Singapore. Accepting the dish as a Malay dish by default makes 'nasi lemak' a Malaysian dish. By the way, a Makcik who sells nasi lemak in a hut in kampung may have the best recipe of nasi lemak than the Micheline star restaurant in Singapore. Period. Greetings from Malaysian Indian UK.

Nasi lemak itu makanan orang Melayu. Kami melayu Sambas, berbatasan langsung dengan dataran Malaysia, kami pun dah terbiasa makan nasi lemak. Banyak budaya kami juga sama dg Malaysia. Makanan kami pun banyak sama dg Malaysia. Misal midding, Malaysia pun bilang midding. Belacan. Pekasam. Bubur pedas. Asam pedas. Panggilan anak pertama, sama2 ALONG (kak long : anak perempuan pertama), (bang long: anak laki2 pertama). Angah /kakngah/bang ngah. Orang di luar Sambas (bukan melayu) kelahikan warisan Melayu, kami yg melayu ni dah hidup ratusan tahun malah biasa aja. Malah kami rutin adakan Pramuka serumpun, Indonesia, Malaysia, dan Brunei Darussalam. Yg mungkin orang Sambas, Kalimantan Barat saja yang tahu. Btw, nasi lemak memang sedap..aplg makan pas baru masak dari panci ,ada kerak nya, makan di colekkan ke sambal belacan. Aduhaii memang lah sedappp.

this is a fun series. More food docs please

In Malaysia, its easy to get good nasi lemak everywhere, it's their everyday food. In Singapore, its very hard to get good nasi lemak, even though we also eat it frequently. The cost and time to make good nasi lemak in Singapore, causes the chef/cook to take short cuts often to the detriment in flavor. As a singaporean, I have to go out of my way to find "acceptable" nasi lemak and even then, it pales in comparison to malaysia's. Those who say singapore's version is better, you clearly have no taste in food. LOL

doesnt matter Malaysia or Singapore, Nasi Lemak is Melayu ❤❤

well balance information. good job!

My take is that it is a shared heritage food amongst the Malays living in Singapore, Malaysia and even Indonesia. I think McDonald's is taking cultural liberty by incorporating this dish into its burgers.

Not made in SG or MY. It's just food that's ethnically Melayu. I mean you can find Nasi Lemak in the Melayu areas in Indonesia too in Riau and the Riau Islands etc. So doesn't matter SG or MY or whatever it's just makanan Melayu. 👀

Saya suka ini, karena Malaysia Sering Klaim Budaya Dan Makanan Indonesia, Padahal Nenek Moyang Kami Ada jutaan Tahun Yang Lalu Sebelum Orang Melayu Malaysia ada, Melayu Malaysia Adalah Migrasi Dari Indonesia, Bawean, Karimun Jawa, Sumatera, Medan, Riau Dan Palembang

despite of the debate.. please make more content like this.. i love it

nasi lemak The original nasi lemak in Malaysia is arguably a typical Southern and Central Peninsular Malaysia breakfast, and is considered of Malay origin. However, due to the popularity of the dish, it is regarded as a national dish. The rice cooked in coconut milk is actually very common in Southeast Asia. 🇲🇾

As a Melayu Singapore, i am just proud that Nasi Lemak is so well loved in both countries. It does not belong to any particular country but belong to people of Malay ethinicty. Malaysia, Singapore are just modern nations. Remember Singapore & Malaysia are not even 100 years old. Thats not a long period of time. But the Malay archipelago which includes Singapore & Malaysia has existed for hundreds or even thousands of years and Malays in Malaysia & Singapore are descendants of that, now we are just seperated by borders of these 2 modern nations. So now just shut up and makan !

The humble nasi lemak in malaysia in the 60's were wrapped in banana leaves, served with savoury sambal simply garnished with ikan bilis, peanuts and cucumber available only for breakfast. The premium version came with boiled eggs and yes some came with kangkong but that was only for the dine-in version. In the late 70's, rendang and the various sambals eg petai, sotong came to be featured. By the 80's the sambal became sweeter as folks from the East coast of Malaysia began selling it in the Klang Valley. It began to be available there throughout the day and when it entered the mamak restaurant as std fare in the late 80's, with the popularity of KFC, fried chicken became a std feature. Although the nasi lemak is prominent in the states on the West Coast, it wasn't popular in all the states eg Penang nasi lemak as recent as in the mid 80's didnt feature sambal but came with fish curry instead. But by the 90's even Penang got converted.

I am as a Malay Jambinese, an ethnic in Jambi Province in Sumatera we also have the similar dish called Nasi Gemuk. its really the same condiment with nasi lemak from Malaysia as we share the same Malay culture in Jambi Province.

Nasi lemak is MALAY DISHES.. NOT SINGAPOREAN OR MALAYSIAN 😂😂😂

Loved this report!! It made me giggle a lot haha. I adore food history/origin docs. I have a video on my own channel on Singapore's dishes and their origins - it's so much fun and interesting to learn about each other through food :)

Nasi Lemak is the creation of the Malays and is one of the tastiest dish in the Malay cuisine. It is undoubtedly originated from Malay Peninsular but is the national food for all Maritime South East Asian countries 🇲🇾🇸🇬🇧🇳🇮🇩🇹🇭🇵🇭🇹🇱🇲🇲

The orginal nasi lemak is nasi lemak kosong. Just santan rice, billis, peanuts, egg and sambal. We eat this on a weekly basis without fail and we are so lucky it is so easily available in Malaysia. Michellin star ones are over rated. There are so many road side nasi lemak stalls or pre packed nasi lemak cooked by the mak ciks sold in chinese restaurants, fruit stalls and many other places. In Malaysia, we are lucky that there are still many who continue to keep their heritage. Like what Chef Din said - the dishes are hard work. A labour of love!

As a Malaysian I readily admit that our sibling country Singapore is way way better run than us in every ways possible from Governing the country, the running of the public transport lah, Airport lah, Airline lah, education lah this lah that lah oh and preserving what little natural forest and reserves left lah........but please don't compare your foods against us lah as there is simply no comparison whatsoever lah:)

Before both statehoods, we were a common people of a common land sharing and cooking the same. Traditinal foods of all races. Now that we are both individual nations, but food still unites us all.... We have simply fabulous food the world could only imagine....

Indonesia has Nasi Uduk and Nasi Kuning (Yellow/ Tumeric Rice). Basically nasi uduk and nasi kuning are same with nasi lemak, rice with coconut milk. Just different side dishes.

Seriously this dish whether is originated from MY, SG or IND, we love this dish because it is good. We are all good neighbours and we appreciate the food across them. Whether is laksa , nasi Padang or mee rebus.

9:23 - I’m from Kuala Lumpur but have never heard of Mr Najib Ariffin before. He speaks eloquently and knows his subject matter very well. Thanks for this entertaining episode ♥️

Finally the title is given back to Malaysia with this well-research series... Thanks CNA and Chef Ming Tan.

I love how everything is connected

To put it in perspective, water is imported from Malaysia and drink as Singapore water.

As a Singaporean, Nasi Lemak definitely taste better in Malaysia. Singapore's version has been cutting corners, possible due to high ingredient cost.

I don't mind the origin anywhere, but I can't accept why nasi lemak have fish finger, sausages and nuggets in SG, and artificial green coloring on its rice 🤭🤣

Good point of discussion. The real & true nasi lemak is mainly the nasi lemak (coconut milk rice), anchovies, peanuts, sliced omelette, & a slice of cucumber wrapped with banana leaf and recycled newspaper. It was very a simple & unique dish yet complex in nutritious level. The rice cooked in coconut milk is proven to lower the GI level in rice, protein from anchovies,peanuts & egg, & fibre from the cucumber. There was NO side dishes unlike today (Even the kangkung; apologies bcoz I never heard of the idea). Due to past socio-economic status that was very poor & harsh environment, our ancestors especially the Malay consumed back in the day as “energy supply” for breakfast only in order to work in the paddy field, rubber tappers etc; the work was very labor intensive. It was very easy to prepare and the ingredients was ‘relatively cheap’ to acquire for most Malay back in the days. Hence, that what led people believed it was originated from Malay Peninsular (Tanah Melayu). By today standard & modern taste, traditional Nasi Lemak can be quite ‘tasteless & bland’. Hence, people started to introduce side dishes (Lauk Pauk) to eat with the Nasi Lemak. This idea was ‘popularized’ by Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa (International Nasi Lemak) around 70’s located in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. Ultimately, this revolutionize & modernize the Nasi Lemak industry and how we eat & treat nasi lemak today. This inspired the idea to sell & consume Nasi Lemak along with various type side dishes & it can served and eat anytime from morning till midnight. In the past past, people only eat during breakfast but today we eat Nasi Lemak almost around the clock. Fun fact; As Mr.Najib pointed out Nasi Lemak “could be” primarily originated & focused on West Coast of Tanah Melayu. This makes sense, unlike in the East Coast of Malaysia, their primary economic activities heavily focused on maritime i.e fishing etc. Hence they are very popular with dishes with fresh fish i.e Nasi Dagang, Nasi Kerabu, Keropok Lekor. The West Coast doesn’t really rely on fishing or maritime activities. Hence, came the idea of anchovies in Nasi Lemak. It was just basically a dried fish & relatively easy to process & preserved but still require that protein source. Regardless of Malaysian or Singaporean Nasi Lemak, we just have to acknowledged that Malaysia’s Nasi Lemak just felt superior due to its taste that was very rich & flavorful from the spices & that “hard work” to prepare the sambal and the side dishes because we Malaysian really need to ‘respect’ that cultural & heritage upbringing from our ancestors especially in cooking & food serving. Also applaud to the Singaporean for making Nasi Lemak looked more classy, grandeur & ‘make it better’ than us. Initially, it was a staple for the poor but today it was enjoyed by literally every layer of society & it has evolved ever since.

Bahahaha, i like this type of content, keep it up bringing light to self-claim xD

Lol I didn't even know this was an issue. I feel like everybody in Australia thinks it's from Malaysia xD

I still prefer the traditional old days simple nasi lemak, yummy chilli paste, peanuts with ikan bilis, and fried egg. Cheap and good, 30 cents in the mid 70s.Nowadays, nasi lemak is too expensive, one egg, a little bit of kachang and ikan bilis plus an egg. Cost $5.90 or more.

To be honest, it is harder to find Malay nasi lemak in Singapore. Chinese nasi lemak is sold everywhere. Back when I was younger and needed my daily nasi lemak fix, I had to buy Chinese nasi lemak. Seriously though, craving aside, Malay nasi lemak wins hands down every time, and please, not the Bengawan Solo version of nasi lemak bungkus. I cannot get used to the otah as a side dish. It’s too weird. I will always stick to the basic nasi lemak - coconut rice, fried anchovies and peanuts, slice of boiled egg and cucumbers and the delectable sweet savoury sambal, sold in primary and secondary schools all over Malaysia, so satisfying satiating countless hungry tummies at recess and lunch. So addictive. It’s the dish of my childhood memories and my young adult years having late suppers at the mamak stalls with friends. No one does nasi lemak like Malaysia. It’s everywhere. You can’t say it’s a Singapore national dish when it’s hardly available every where and any time the way it is in Malaysia.

What a delightful documentary about the history of the origin of a wonderful dish made with coconut milk in rice in SE Asia! To complicate matters, now consider that coconut rice is a dish also found in other cultures and parts of the world such as the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Africa. 😊 Ming is a wonderful host, very well spoken, glib, with adorable comical facial expressions to punctuate and accentuate his humorous delivery of factoids. Bravo, CNA Insider!

My favourite! No matter where it originated from!!

It is obviously a Malay food. It doesn’t exclusively belong to one country just because of a political divide in 1960s.

Nasi uduk javanis style Nasi gurih sumateran style Nasi gurih kita pakai saat upacara adat, misalnya saat hatam qur'an. Dan 1 variasi lagi kita memasak beras ketan dengan cara yang sama dengan nasi gurih, kegunaannya juga sama sebagai item acara adat. Tapi dalam perkembangannya nasi gurih dan nasi ketan menjadi makanan harian yang bisa kita temukan dimana saja.

3.37 "The version with sausage..." Terbaik! 🤣🤣🤣

The version of nasi cooked with santan, serves with sambal anchovies, slice of egg n slices of cucumber n wrap in daun pisang is the original version of nasi lemak Malaysia. There are now many version with chicken, paru, frankfurter etc...but the original is a Malaysian origin.

It is more entrenched in the Malaysian culture than in Singapore. I’d say Malaysia takes this one for its national dish. Singapore can have chicken rice. I also have a preference for the most basic version, which emphasizes the rice and sambal, and not the side dishes. Adding on a smorgasbord of side dishes does to nasi lemak equivalent to overloading pizza or risotto with ‘stuff’. Basic is always better

every Malaysian or Singaporean kinds of food are originated from Indonesia, no debate!

Nasi lemak is definitely Malaysia national dish. 100% delicious. incomparable

Are you starting a fight, CNA? 😅

If we are talking about which country has the best nasi lemak, it is not a fruitful discussion as each country have their varied versions of what is best. But if we are taking about a national dish, we would have to look at the cultural aspect, the availability or easy access to the food, and most importantly the frequency of consumption by its people. Thus, nasi lemak is definitely one of the national dish for Malaysia as it is regularly consume by Malaysians for 3 meals or sometimes 4 meals, and it can be found in almost every taman. In the same token, chicken rice would be the national dish of Singapore as it is very regularly consume for 2 meals, and definitely available in every hawker centre and almost available in every coffeeshop in Singapore.

Nasi Lemak is Austronesian. There. Everybody wins. But seriously, as a Filipino watching this episode, I'm surprised we share a lot of food words: nasi -- rice in kapampangan, kangkong, dilis. It's a sign of our shared heritage of being Austronesians.

Nasi Lemak belongs to the Malays. Any Malays where ever they may be can proudly claim it as theirs as it is a Malays pride & heritage. And I don't think it was accidentally created by spilling coconut milk into the rice. If you guys look at the other Malay delicacies, you may found that many of Malay dishes or Kueh are heavily derived from coconut milk or santan. and some dishes are quite complex and take hard work and effort to make it. Just like Rendang, it can last longer as long as you re-heat them, thus some say it was the main dish for the Malays back then when they voyaging across the Malay Archipelago before the My-Sg-Ind-Bn boundaries were drawn. Ketupat also is a pre-prep and ready-to-go meal. You can notice the purpose it was created. As for the Nasi Lemak, it was a genius invention as it is considered as a well-balanced and nutritious meal, to cater the need of Malays who work as a farmer, fisherman etc.

I was in Indonesia and had similar food and was confused about the origins. This whole video is so eye opening ! I can’t wait to visit Malaysia!

Best food in Singapore is the food which you tapau from Malaysia

12:46 Malay Archipelago? Seriously, sir 😅 Nusantara itu paling sahih 😅

By watching this video, I have to say that Malaysian Nasi Lemak is much savoury, thanks CNA

Bodohnya soalan dan perbandingan ini. Obviously nasi lemak is from Malaysia.

About nasi lemak.. as melayu from west borneo indonesia, i have tried nasi lemak from malaysia and nasi uduk from indonesia. Basically the same rice with the same inggridients but different ammout. The side dish is different. While malay nasi lemak use fish, nasi uduk use chicken. The sambal is acctually a little bit sour in nasi lemak, and sweet spicy in nasi uduk or just spicy. Both delicious eventhough i prefer nasi uduk for the lighter taste. But burger nasi lemak is bad.. it doesnt taste good for me.

as Indonesian i say the technique of cooking the rice with coconut milk were 100% originated from Malaysia region and from this they created nasi lemak but in the past a lot of Malaysia people came to Indonesia region and introduce this cooking technique and from that many variation of it were created in different region like jambi nasi gemuk, and java nasi uduk...me personally never said or claim that the technique of cooking rice with coconut milk or nasi lemak were originated from Indonesia but the variation of it like nasi gemuk and nasi uduk were 100% originated from Indonesia that is why we change the name of the dish to avoid confusion...unlike what happened with cendol dish that 100% originated from Indonesia...Malaysia or Singapore never change the name of the variation of cendol that their created thus created confusion

We acknowledge that, despite being Indonesian, Nasi Lemak is DEFINITELY a Malaysian dish.

For me senang je nasi lemak ni mmg dish kita semua yg dkt area kepulauan melayu ni.. and kita berkongsi budaya.. nak ckp pasal claim2 or sape punya susah sbb berkongsi budaya dri mcm2 segi.. we all love it and its ours.. malaysian ke singaporean ke indonesian ke kita serumpun so its no suprise to ser that.. ❤❤❤ Tpi if u ask me which version ofcoz laa the hardwork sidedish (malaysia style) is freakin better but its just me lain org lain citarasa nk gaduh pasal sape punya better mmg useless.. lain tekak lain la dia suka ade yg suka masin masam manis pedas kan.. mcm2 terpulang pada individu

Nasi lemak is more similar to the typical Jambi Nasi Gemuk which is on the east coast of Sumatra. And the components are also similar because the nasi gemuk also uses sambal, peanuts and anchovies.

If nothing happened in 1965, this video will not exist.

Congratulations CNA for finding a topic to sow discord between neighbours. Your incredible sensitivity and level of journalism is taking a free fall. Send my regards to your mediocre team. Bravo!

Meanwhile, in the east coast Sumatra we have Nasi Lemak, Nasi Lamak, Nasi Lomak, and Nasi Gemuk... Maybe you should extend your research 😊

As a Malaysian, I adore our version, but I also love that SG has otak-otak - it's a side dish that I totally would add to nasi lemak. Other processed meat, not so...

I ate nasi lemak sometimes while i live in singapore years ago, and now occasinally ate nasi uduk.... But i never tought that this 2 dish is similar to each other. But now i think about it, it kind of similar

As Indonesian, i believe that nasi lemak is Malaysian. Maybe nasi lemak have influence from nasi uduk. But still nasi lemak is Malaysian

Madani MALAYSIA is a generation with a nuanced approach to relatively everything; we are serious about turning a new leave. So if you expect us to sing and dance and get into a scrum over nasi lemak, you are insulting our intelligence. We are too busy in our pursuit of a balanced lifestyle to get into the claim war; leave that to the Indonesians, who are good at it. MALAYSIA has other countless achievements, in the end, food is food; survival and happiness. Nasi lemak is a reflection of our society, it serves and consumes, anytime and everywhere; in its simple and original form, this dish reminds us to be humble. As for the different elements that make the dish pop; one can argue that it resembles our multiracial community; when we are united, together, we can be a Michelin star in SINGAPORE.

The oldest is Nasi kuning from Java, recreate by Sunda as Nasi uduk. Moved to South part of Sumatra as Nasi lemak/ nasi minyak.. brought & recreate in Malaysia (see they mix it with rendang sauce) rendang & nasi lemak are from 2 Sumatra's area

What is Nasi Lemak? Translated from its name origin of Malay, it means laterally “rice (nasi) fat (lemak)”. The fat is meant in the context of ‘thick and creamy” mouth feel derive from the rice cooked and steam in coconut milk. The earliest literature describing “Nasi Lemak” is found in book “the circumstances of Malay life” written in 1906 by a British colonial administrator R.O. Winstedt based in Malaya. It described the boiling of rice in coconut oil eaten with small river fish and a stinky paste of chilli and “belachan” (fermented shrimp paste). Eaten as a simple breakfast meal, it soon became a all day and night welcome meal or snack adopted by different culture and people groups.

Sego gurih ( beras yg dimasak dg bumbu + santan kelapa) adalah masakan atau makanan asal yogya dan sekitarnya. Dibetawi diberi nama nasi uduk, di sumatera diberi nama nasi lemak.

The myth of the girl accidentally pouring santan on rice and said Nasi Le Mak...is hilarious.

Can we take a moment to appreciate this man (and his research team) travelling all the way to Malaysia and Indonesia just to find the origin all our iconic dishes just to prove our keyboard warriors wrong.

When I was a student, I would eat nasi uduk every day. All of us should be proud of our local food. I know there is a heated debate about nasi lemak, but we should use it as a way to strengthen our bonds and kinship.

I love the chef statment, wanna try Nasi Lemak Singapore version.

In Indonesia we call it nasi lemak in Palembang, nasi gemuk in Jambi, nasi uduk in Jakarta, and nasi gurih in java.

The origin of sambal could be traced back to java but I don't see why nasi lemak as a concept doesn't originate in peninsular Malaysia.

the nasi lemak itself is OLDER than Singapore 😂

Haha i love how he edit each scene so intense is like watching a sinetron 😂

Oh my grandmother and mother version is Malaysia style cos they usually have samba fish, chicken or squid, toufu and even samba vegetables 😂 They never use those hotdog or fishcake. Rarely even egg. And yes the samba taste different for each dish so it make it so refreshing everytime.

If it come from west coast of malay peninsula or malacca, chances are it came from outside through exposure from sea trade route instead of west coast malaysian people develop it themself. So maybe coming from some Indonesian island is still valid answer

Singapore, an island historically known as Temasek, was part of Johore in the Malayan peninsular

Nasi Lemak in the 60s up to 70s didn't come with so many sides, it just consisted of 1 small piece of fried egg, ikan iblis, peanut, cucumber with rice and chilli wrapped in banana leaf.

I used to eat a nostalgic nasi lemak from a Malay stall in my new village since 70s, unfortunately, the second generation's son suffered a stroke a year ago, and his stall closed permanently. The third generation's grandson opens a stall in Melaka Sentral terminal which is 60km away from my home.

Honestly I don't get why there's an argument on whether it's a Singaporean/Malaysian dish. All I care is that it's sedap!

Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore came from same root. British and others divide us. Full stop !

I live in West Java and I'm Sundanese with Aceh blood. I'm really familiar with Nasi Uduk although temporary to eat it. My father is from Aceh and moved to Medan when he was a child. Malay is native at Medan, my father might have learned to cook nasi lemak there. So yeah, sometimes I eat nasi lemak too. Nasi lemak has a stronger taste than Nasi Uduk. I like both of them.

Singapore was also part of Malaysia.

Singapore tried putting pork sausage into Nasi Lemak... and I think that says it all.

I must try out this coconut club nasi lemak. I also strongly suggest ppl to try out Malaysia’s Village Park nasi lemak.

Usually people's of Malacca strait area like Riau Indonesia, also eat nasi lemak for daily meal. Sulawesi, Java also have nasi lemak tradition with different name and condiment. Malay Nusantara Archipelago food heritage.
