Anita shared how the idea came from watching a video of the world’s most expensive nasi lemak, shared by her friend Cassandra on Facebook.
She then commented that the best ones are still the packed nasi lemak sold on the streets, with several friends agreeing. Her friend Normah then suggested having Norway’s Nasi Lemak Day.

Nasi Lemak must be simple, fried eggs, cucumber, sambal chilli, fried peanut and ikan bilis. Pls ask our Malay heritage consultant @syed putra

As long as no pork, no lard.
Initially eaten as breakfast food only so just peanut and sambal and egg.
Nowadays even lunch and dinner time also they eat so chicken rendang, fried chicken, beef rendang are optional.
Some places they give fried kangkung instead of cucumber which I like.

My friend told me that he prefers to eat nasi lemak without chilli sambal because by eating so, he can taste the fluffy coconut infused rice, yummy

In Malaysia, nasi lemak chef just steam the coconut rice, they don’t cook the rice in the rice cocker, it is steam coconut rice, steam, not cooked in the rice cooker

Steam rice I think it's called Nasi coockoos ( kukus). Traditional kelantanese, pattani influence. Maybe some have improvised the technique into nasi lemak.

Crave is too expensive. Boon Lay power is good.

Worst is Chinese style nasi lemak, with fish cake and acar
