amount of coconut milk used when steaming the rice makes a world of difference.
Too little of the coconut milk and the rice ends up tasting watered down. Put in
too much and the smell of the oil from the milk overpowers the rice. Another
important factor that greatly enhances the taste of this dish is the chilli
paste that goes with it. That too varies with the individual traders as some
make it really spicy compared to others. While the Chinese traders sell nasi
lemak with sausages and curry chicken, the Malay traders have introduced their
own crispy fried chicken or spring chicken as an accompaniment to the dish.Malay food:roti jala
