Nasi Lemak

Nasi lemak is one of favorite breakfast in Riau. Nasi lemak is rice that cook with coconut milk and serve with various kind of side dish. Last nite, my lil brothers asked my mom to make nasi lemak like he often eat when was at primary school. Today is national holiday, so we can enjoy this dish all day.. there were a lot of kind of nasi lemak depend on each area. The one my mom made is nasi lemak from Riau, the simple one i think only serve with egg, cashew meat, some anchovies-peanut-tempe, and cucumber. Another nasi lemak I've know is from medan that serve with more kind various side dish like fried chicken, vegie pickle, potato chips, and others.

Today i ask my mom for the recipe,but i cant got exactly measurement from her. she is traditional cook, cook by her experience, feeling and sense of taste. but she can make the best dish..
