This is one food item which I am very careful not to eat too often. In fact I hardly do. I know I will suffer when I wake up the next morning and have to put up with all the pains in my joints. Coconut is a great ingredient in dishes and I do so miss being able to savour it. But between that and the pain, the latter wins. I am naughty at times, like oh what the hell, just suffer for one day. I will do it on a day or week when I feel good and am not having an attack of the joints. The same goes with tofu, which I do so love, but can now only pinch a little here and there.
For this meal, all I did was cook the coconut rice, fried an omelette and sliced up some cucumbers. The rest of the accompaniments were bought. Fried shrimp paste chicken wings from Crystal Jade Kitchen; otah from Lee Wee Brothers (I usually go for the Mackeral Otah at Joo Chiat but I didn't bother to do so today); and ready ikan bilis sambal by Woh Hup. I served them on banana leaves which I was given months back and had them in the freezer.
The portion below was for princess. In place of spicy otah, I got her the non-spicy kids' version.
This was the sambal which I tried. It wasn't too bad.

Oh nasi lemak is my favorite. I can eat this for breakfast, lunch & dinner....yum this I miss very much.
nice meal :)
petite fleur - Oh wow, but you can cook it there too ya? I guess the most important ingredient is the coconut milk. Once you have that the rest is easy, except you might have to make own sambal and otah. :)
hk choo - Thanks. :)
Such convenience with the bottled sambal ikan bilis ya? I soooo love nasi lemak too!
It's the side dishes that I can't get or the ingredients to make it - the deep fried small fish (what's that called?), otak (I tried making it once but not very sucessful), sambal ikan bilis....sigh how to have nasi lemak without these
i love nasi lemak very much! i can eat it with anything...hmmm fried chicken...stopppp almost lunch time...i cant handle it anymore hehehe
lcom - Indeed! And I like it too. You can eat it with almost everything hehe.
petite fleur - Ooo.. the kuning, yes I believe you won't be able to get it there. You can't get ikan bilis too? And maybe try another otah recipe?
rita - Hehe, yup. lol!
