ogyep's HERITAGE NASI LEMAK

Selamat bersiaran di hujung minggu. 

May you enjoy your weekends after hard days throughout d weeks..

Nasi Lemak is a common breakfast for Malaysian.. Some could have it every days.. But some would have it alternately and maybe, those who are health conscious would think twice to have it as their favourite dish. However, to me.. moderation is always a healthy habbit.

Well, this is my Mom's heritage Nasi Lemak. 

As Nasi Lemak is a common menu, somes may found the recipe quite similar here & there.

A little advise from my mom is.. "A nice sambal tumis should be cooked under a slow heat until it looks shinning and oily".. By the time you're done with d sambal tumis, your stove will be very messy with all the splashing sambal & oil..

"Nasi Lemak anyone..??."

My hubby's always said that my sambal tumis tastes like no others sambal tumis. 

Even though, I m totally copying my mother's recipe, my mom's one is still doesn't taste like mine. As for me, my mom's is still d best.

No two are alike.. 

I believe 'air tangan' will make the difference..

Even, my daughter always ask me.. Kenapa nasi Nasi Lemak Mama tak sama dengan nasi Makcik2nya yang lain.. Baunya. Teksturnya.. Rasanya.. 

I m not trying to give credit to my Nasi Lemak.. To me, apa yang orang masak, selalu sedap.. may be b'cos dah jemu makan masakan sendiri.

What I m trying to stress is..

Air tangan seseorang akan memberikan effect yang kuat kepada rasa sesuatu masakan. We could copy d recipe 100%, but d result will b a little bit different.

May be you guys out there could comment a bit on this..

As sharing is caring.. Let us view  d recipes.
