Nasi Lemak rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The bold and complex complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using curry leaves correctly takes real skill.

Malaysian cuisine reflects the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous Orang Asli traditions of a multicultural society. I encountered it first in a mamak 24-hour restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. fresh sugarcane juice is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Nasi Lemak is the dish to start with.
