Singapore, August 7, 2009 -
Derived from a cooking method where the rice is soaked in coconut
cream, nasi lemak literally means “rice in cream”.
It is usually wrapped in banana leaf, together with cucumber
slices, ikan bilis, roasted peanuts, an egg and sambal chilli.
Chicken wings and otah otah are often added to it. The sambal
chilli is usually the make-or-break factor for nasi lemak.

The nasi lemak at Nam San is made from a Nonya recipe. It is
fragrant, rich and the mackerel banana leaf otah is the main draw –
get the nasi lemak combo meal.
