the thing with a zing!

Every weekend, without fail, we would go to the neighborhood mall. My kids go to a music school there so that’s where I’m at every weekend. After class, we would usually hang out there, do a little shopping and then have dinner.

Thing is we’re there so often, we’ve run through the mall’s directory list and tried practically every restaurant there. Now we’re down to eating nasi lemak which is the thing with a zing that everyone loves, so no arguments.

It’s our all-time favorite rice in coconut milk with chicken curry, fried anchovies and peanuts, half a hard-boiled egg, sliced cucumbers, sambal or chili paste topped off with a crispy papadam or Indian corn cracker.

Absolutely yummy! There’s nothing like it eaten piping hot and spicy. Sometimes my kids order the less spicy combination that comes with fried chicken instead of chicken curry. Sometimes I cook this at home. I’ll have to post the recipe sometime.
