    I had a friend from Germany, an expat who worked here for 10 years. After ten years the company wanted him to go back to Germany. But his main grouse about going back was he can’t eat nasi lemak anymore, the main breakfast that he had been eating for 10 years. Lol... that was a big problem for him. I guess once you had nasi lemak it will forever stick with you.

    @TheWizcakes 6 років тому +37

    The best ones are always sold by a makcik by the roadside which normally cost between rm1 to rm3. These are the standard ones with cucumber, boiled egg, anchovies, peanuts and sambal. It is eaten for breakfast as it gives the most energy needed to start the day and normally in the olden days hours are spent at the paddy fields or rubber plantations. Enjoy your nasi lemak Darren.

    • @remotedarren
      @remotedarren  6 років тому +9

      Yes, I agree - outside my previous apartment was a roadside one and it was so cheap and delicious. Thanks for the comment, didn't realise that it was eaten for energy to work in the plantations, now you said it, it's makes sense.

    • @TheWizcakes

      No don't trust everything you read or hear darling ,nasik lemak got saturated fat from natural cocnut milk, its not high in bad cholestrol but good cholestrol HDL ,saturated fat is ggood against that unsaturated fat ,if you want to see the evidence,see malaysian people the Malayu ethnic ,because they'r muslim and mostly didn't drink alchohol,see they'r fat and old but they still strong and without chronic deseases,like diabetes or high blood presure or high Cholestrol,and who ever malay people got that its because they'd mix their naturally diet with eating modern foods like burgers or cakes or sweets and drinks modern drinks like cuppucino or beers or frapucino, malays traditional foods and drinks very healthy ,if we talk about cholestrol,the very high amount cholestrol in human bodies came from the "liver".enjoy daren darling while you still can honey.

    I love your videos and like yourself I adore Malaysian foods, especially Nasi Lemak! I travel 2/3 times a year from the UK to KL and the rest of Malaysia to satisfy my cravings for their foods. Malaysian cuisine really is without exception the finest, most tasty and diverse on the planet!!

  • @jonathan9143
    @jonathan9143 6 років тому +18

    Do not eat nasi lemak too often as face getting round n round...lol..There's a cafe called "Nasi Lemak Factory" which located at Cheras area. They served an awesome nasi lemak not only with rendang chicken but also some others such as sotong, rendang muttons, curry chicken with potatoes and so on. Will bring you there if we have a chance to meet.
    Have a blessed weekend ahead. Stay safe and healthy : )

  • @MikeStringfellow

    I knew this was coming. Welcome back, Darren! My favorite "Nasi Lemak" would be from either the "Wanjo Nasi Lemak" or "Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa" in Kampung Baru. Just a short walk (600-900m) from Kampung Baru LRT station. Google Maps have them prominently. Enjoy!

    • @MikeStringfellow

    • @MikeStringfellow
      @MikeStringfellow 6 років тому +8

      I notice you love chicken with your Nasi Lemak. If that's the case, this would be THE ULTIMATE. "Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng", or "Nasi Lemak with Crispy Fried Chicken", at Village Park Restaurant. Nothing compares to it, satisfaction guaranteed, or your meal is on me, Darren! LOL! ua-cam.com/video/doXgxq06gFU/v-deo.html

    The best part of Malaysian, when they knew how to make certain meal, they will make by their own with their preference. If you enjoyed the restaurant style of nasi lemak, you probably fall in love on the home made classic way of nasi lemak made by local. More fragrant, more coconut milk, deep fried slimmer anchovies, boiled eggs, cucumber slice and a hot sambal!

    • @remotedarren

    @aku1031 6 років тому +6

    that is just direct translation..the reason we use 'lemak' is because the rice tastes richer due to the coconut milk used..besides, the coconut milk does not turn into oil when cooking hence it maintain what's good of the milk

    • @remotedarren
      @remotedarren  6 років тому

    • @khairunshahnazmohdkhalil4453
      @khairunshahnazmohdkhalil4453 5 років тому

      Fat Rice is a literal & direct translation. That’s the most popular translation but isn’t quite right. Lemak here also means creamy. In this case the coconut milk used in the cooking adds to the creamy texture & rich tasting of the rice.

  • @selfreflection2117

    RM7 isn't a bad price for a dish with chicken, where normally small hawkers sell it for RM5-RM6. Even Old Town White Coffee will charge you RM14 for the same dish lol. Regarding the calories, yes thats a lot for a single plate, but that will be fine with some workouts. And you are absolutely correct about the combinations, every single element on the dish works so well together, ahhhh i am drooling at 12am right now!

    • @remotedarren

    It's so easy to make nasi lemak..I make it all the time. I'm Malaysian of course. All you do is to cook rice in coconut milk with salt, sugar added to taste, throw in slices of ginger, onions and screwpine leaves for aroma (can also add in cinnamon stick, cloves and cardamom - optional also to saute onions, cardamoms, cinnamon sticks and cloves before adding water, coconut milk, rice, salt and sugar)..as for sambal, you just blend together dried chili (after soaking in hot water), shrimp paste, onions, ginger and garlic..saute the blended chili paste, add salt, sugar and tamarind juice (substitute with lime or lemon juice), add water according to how much sambal and how thick it is you want. That's it, you now have your nasi lemak (creamy rice) and sambal. For garnishing, fry some anchovies and peanuts, then slice some cucumbers, add few slices of lettuce..optional steam or boil some kangkung to go with it..actually you can eat nasi lemak with whatever raw, boiled or steamed vegetable that fancy you...that's it, you have yourself a home-made nasi lemak!

    • @remotedarren
      @remotedarren  6 років тому

    I used to eat nasi lemak everyday for bfast with fried egg and either fried chicken sambal or fried lung sambal for many years.As i spend alot of time standing in my workplace (5 to 6 hrs average), i was able to maintain my weight of 52kg. What i like about a nasi lemak bfast is tht it is very filling and lasts me many hours without having to snack in between meals.
    Personally, i think nasi lemak is a suitable meal for people with active lifestyles or people who moves alot throughout the day.
    Perhaps that is why the malays of old at the villages who work on paddy fields etc did not get fat with a daily breakfast of nasi lemak.

    Hi Darren, thanks for the video. I know there was an Indian lady selling (super-delicious) nasi lemak (wrapped in banana leaf) from her house in Setapak, KL. Each pack cost about RM 0.70 cents. But that was 6 years ago and not sure whether she's still selling it at same price. But you may find out :) Her house (green and double storeys, I googled it) is located at Lorong Ayer Lombong, close to Pasar Ayer Panas Setapak, in Setapak. Also her fried vermicelli was damn good too!

    Usually, I get my nasi lemak from the smaller stalls (usually open on the side of the road in the morning) because they cost a lot less than the ones from the more established restaurants and most of the time, taste better and have bigger portion. For the lauk (sides), I prefer to have my nasi lemak with fried egg, sambal sotong (squid), or sambal paru (cow's lung). In my hometown, basic nasi lemak (rice & sambal sauce only) costs around MYR1. But I reside in KL now, so with the sides it usually costs around MYR5--MYR7

    Try the nasi lemak in Kampung Baru. Don't limit yourself to only fried chicken. Try sambal sotong (squid) or sambal kerang (cockles) or even beef/chicken rendang. Then flush it down with a cup of long black.

  • @brrrrr_1
    @brrrrr_1 6 років тому

    Hi Darren, you reaally should discover Nasi Lemak Village Park (groundfloor restaurant) and Mama Lee's Nasi Lemak (upper floor restaurant) , they're closeby each other in Petaling Jaya, both offer superb yummy chicken for sure.. Not far from KL.. you can find their addresses on Google search. And get there quick with Grabcar service app. All the best for all your travels in Malaysia :)

      @remotedarren  6 років тому +2

      Yes, the roadside and small hawker stalls seem to serve it in banana leaf, but most of the restaurants don't seem to, at least that's the ones I've been to.

    Hi Darren, your nasi lemak has reminded me when I was in London 2 years ago. I really miss Malaysian food and I went to a Rasa Sayang restaurant at the Macclesfield St in Chinatown London to have nasi lemak. Gee, that nasi lemak cost me £8 (RM48). It was delicious because the restaurant owner is a Malaysian.

    • @remotedarren
      @remotedarren  6 років тому +1

      Sounds expensive, but it's good that there's a Malaysian restaurant in London. There seem to be very rare in the UK!

  • @pakngah4083
    @pakngah4083 6 років тому

    U should try eat nasi lemak with "ayam rendang", it makes varieties and more color of the taste. Somemore in previous time, Malaysian peoplr eat nasi lemak that cover with banana leaf so that nasi lemak will have more delecious aroma. One more thing u must try eat nasi lemak which their anchovies from "small tamban" fish. U better ask someone in Kuala Lumpur who knew where u can get nasi lemak with "tamban" anchovy...
    Anyway thanx for loving our National Dish...

    I love nasi lemak, but i only eat the ‘authentic’ nasi lemak, which is the right amount of coconut milk. Some of the stall sell it with little coconut milk, some of them don’t even use coconut milk at all. Such a shame.

    • @redzyrezali2587
      @redzyrezali2587 5 років тому

      The real nasi lemak have the right amount of coconut milk together with salt & cooked with pandan leaves. People always forget about the fragant pandan leaves.

    If you are craving for nasi lemak and cannot fly so far to malaysia for it, you can make it from scratch. Yes, i mean from the rice to sambal to those condiments and sides on your nasi lemak plate. If you are able to gather the ingredients, i will happily teach you. It can taste better and more authentic than those hipster cafe or restaurant nasi lemak you tried

    Darren, please always remember to do a few kilometre run after you eat ONE DISH of Nasi Lemak. and always do a regular check up with doctors in Malaysia after those delicious nasi lemak. I kid you not. Nasi Lemak is one amazing and addictive dish and as Malaysian, we believed that it was created in heaven by the chefs of God, but for the mortals like us to enjoy it, it does comes with a price..our health. btw, you can find the best nasi lemak in Kampung Baru and most of the time, on the street if you see a Malay aunties and ladies selling it. Enjoy Malaysia, my friend..enjoy...

      @ftinftin8937 6 років тому +3

      Adam Zakry only the rice is quite similar being coconut base but still taste different. The rest of the condiments are not the same. Nasi uduk is never a hit here in msia compared to Ayam penyet.

    If you're in KL city, head down to Kampung Baru, the traditional Malay village right in the smack of KL. Look for Wanjo or Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa..u can't go wrong.
    Slightly off the city in Damansara Utama (15mins away) is Village Park Nasi Lemak.
