Nasi Lemak and Kopi 'O'...

This's our true traditional local cuisine that beloved by anyone...
Every morning this particular rices is essential in  almost every food stalls, hawkers or restaurants...
you can eat it at your chosen premise or take it anyway you like...

How it make and the need ingredients?... Leaves it to the experts!

The preparation...
the cooking process begin whereby rice is soaked in coconut cream and then the mixture steamed. Sometimes knotted screwpine (pandan) leaves are thrown into the rice while steaming to give it more fragrance. Spices such as ginger and occasionally herbs like lemon grass may be added for additional fragrance.

A completed dish traditionnally come as a platter of food wrapped in banana leaf, with cucumber slices, small dried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, hard boiled egg, and hot spicy sauce (sambal) at its core. As a more substantial meal, nasi lemak can also come with a variety of other accompaniments such as chicken, cuttlefish, cockles, stir fried water convolvulus (kangkong), pickled vegetables (acar), beef rendang (beef stewed in coconut milk and spices) or paru (beef lungs). Traditionally most of these accompaniments are spicy in nature.

And the coffee?... Ah you know exactly how it's made... Feed raw coffee beans to a wild weasel and wait for it to dispose and collect the refined beans from it stools... EH? Wait a minute? That's not right! The raw beans of coffee's blended to near perfection mixed with special ingredients and then stir it with sugar or milk with  hot water before you sup it as a refined beverage... That's how it's prepare...

The culture...

their desires by night and day... You could discover it quiet ordinary patrons
still craving for this treat at 2.00 A.M...

Roti Canai and The Tarik...

Another favorite conventional cuisine that's running in our blood...
For centuries this has been our own locality originated from southern Asia...
Cultivated in many varieties such as roti bawang, roti telur, roti sardin and others
similar influences suchlike roti nan, kebab, capati and roti prata...

Roti canai is circular and flat. There are two ways to make roti canai that is either to twirl it until the dough becomes a very thin sheet and then folded into a circular shape or to spread out the dough as thinly as possible before being folded. Then the folded dough is grilled with oil. The first method is more popular and faster than the second. 

dip it in assortments of various savvies such as dal, kari ayam, kari ikan 
and kari daging or pour it off into your dishes in one go...

Teh tarik is a herb tea mixed with condensed milk and does not stirred but striking it
between two containers until it bubbly foaming and ready to serve...

Some specialty food stalls even make it as entertainment by showing various elastic 
moves or striking the teh tarik to a great distances... Be amused and dances to the beat!

Why peoples love it!
Easy to consumed and cheap, moderated and fast serve, tasty to the last drop
and goods for a simple meals... Never had enough for just one serve...
