Quotes
"There are few things better in life than the breakfast rush in Kuala Lumpur. And we're here to eat, of course, a dish called nasi lemak. One of the national dishes of Malaysia. And I just love this place. The friendliness, the variety."
"Banana leaf on the plate. The coconut rice goes on. Okay, the ikan bilis, the fried anchovies go on. Peanuts, the vegetable garnishes. Cucumber. Oh, and water spinach too, which is a nice touch. The kangkong."
"Let's start with those beef lungs. It was very popular already. That dish was half sold out. Lots of chili with the coconut rice. The nasi lemak. Oh, wow. The lungs are sliced really thin. And then with that chili sambal, it's such a nice texture. Just a little bit of chewiness, but then tender at the same time. And that sambal is a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, like onion-y. Those lungs are incredibly tasty."
"I think when you start mixing all the sambals and getting everything together, that is one of the joys of any plate of nasi lemak. Oh, wow, yeah. That right there, the rice, the egg, the sambal, the peanuts, the ikan bilis, that right there is the base. That's the essential part of nasi lemak. And you're good with just those five components, but all these extras are just like bonuses on top. The full force of the flavor is released into your mouth. Has a nice kick of spice to it. It has a balance of sweetness. That sambal is unbelievably tasty."
"Okay, then I'll move into their squid, which is also sambal sotong. It's also very famous here. And I think a lot of people order it. I think the squid is preserved. Not fresh squid. It's either preserved or like dried squid. But it's more of a condensed flavor of the squid, but it's so good."
"But this is some next level nasi lemak. Like one of the better plates I remember eating. I think the highlight for me is the lungs though."
"I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you, nasi lemak is one of the best breakfasts you can eat in the entire world. And this place is about as good as it gets."
