Visit my site for more delicious food Click the link above Nasi lemak is more than just the national food of Malaysia, it's a home comforting dish that the entire country is passionate about eating. Love for nasi lemak is nothing short of extreme affection, a purely delicious bonding form of cuisine. But what is nasi lemak? In Malays, it translates exactly to fatty rice, but in reality the rice is steamed along with coconut milk and pandan leaves so it becomes fragrant and slightly creamy. It's not ordinary rice, it's pumped with extra flavor. Grains of the rice shouldn't be clumpy, but rather loose, not overly wet, but just perfect. After rice is piled onto a plate, a choice of different other heavenly toppings are added to the top and the plate of nasi lemak is ready to be enjoyed. Kuala Lumpur has a lot of food to chose from, and one of the best street restaurants in town is known as RA Nasi Lemak - a home style restaurant that caters to a local crowd searching for comforting cuisine. I showed up at about 9 am to get a taste, and there were a few people in line and many people were eating at the tables provided. Unlike other nasi lemak restaurants where the vendors serves you, at RA you are free to top your fatty rice with whatever you choose using self service. I scooped on some fried morning glory vegetables, some sambal sotong (squid in chili sauce, ikan bilis (peanuts mixed with anchovies, lots of sambal chili sauce and a big chunk of pure heaven chicken rendang (chicken curried in coconut milk. I've had a lot of good Malaysian food meals in my life, but I'm telling you that this plate of nasi lemak was easily one of the most satisfying meals I've ever consumed in my entire life. The chicken rendan was cooked to perfect, stewed in coconut milk and pureed spices that coated each bite in magnificent flavor. The squid in chili was equally delicious, not too chewy and bursting with flavor. Also, the sambal chili sauce, was perfect. It was spicy, not sweet, and went so well with all the other dishes. The combination of the rice and the toppings elevated my mouth into new highs of culinary satisfaction. Next time you're in Kuala Lumpur, be sure to check out RA Nasi Lemak

Hey Mark, this video means a lot to me because you inspire me to travel and it was the first time I was able to follow one of your recommendations, I visited this place back in march and even 6 years later it was as good. However the open buffet thing wasn't that great for me because it was my first time eating Nasi Lemak and I had no idea how to combine it. lol, still it was all delicious. For future visitors, beware that I got lost coming out of Dang Wangi Station because I took the wrong exit and came out to a whole different neighbourhood and took me almost 1 hr to finally find the restaurant. When I returned to the station I realised it was only a 3 mins walk from the right exit.

Oh poor you confused Indonesian. You know there are nasi goreng from many countries in this world right? China, India, Philippines and many more. Just because Malaysia and Indonesia mostly share the same languages and in this case fried rice here is called nasi goreng aswell in malay and you claim its yours. what if in china they call their fried rice nasi goreng too? so would you be attacking them and claim they're from indonesia too? GET OVER IT ALREADY PEACE. pardon my bad english.

For some parts of Malaysia, this is a wrong image of nasik lemak. A nasik lemak in this part of Malaysia basically consist of: Nasi lemak (the rice)Sambal ikan bilis (anchovies in spicy gravy)Telur rebus (boiled egg)Hirisan Timun batang (slices of cucumber)Boiled eggs are sometimes changed with sunny side or omelette. Ikan bilis goreng (fried anchovies) are just optional. Same goes to other dish like chicken etc. And never, never served with kacang (nuts)

Rendang is originally from Indonesia. Oh wait, nasi lemak also originally from Indonesia, damned one more thing, all the plate, spoons and forks and the word Kuala and Lumpur also originally from Indonesia. see that? Everything you find out in Kuala Lumpur is originally from Indonesia. Everything. oh wait. everything in this world has originally come from Indonesia. I'm truly sure that YouTube is originally from Indonesia.

just chill out man. just because people know nasi goreng n nasi lemak through malaysia doesn't mean that u can't make indonesian nasi lemak n nasi goreng popular. being hateful to another country will not make indonesia known to world but try to use your way to make name for it. a single person's judgement compared to that of a large group is nothing but nonsense. sorry if this comment offended u but think about it

One thing I really really hate about ALL your video is that, your reaction when trying food is too much, a bit excessive. Like, everytime you trying food, you will close your eyes while smiling like you're in heaven or something. You don't have to make that kind of face to say that the food is good. In fact, when you do that, you look like a creep. #sorrynotsorry

fellow indonesian, please stop embarassing yourself, it doesnt matter which have the actual food, arguing like a child wont solve anything, and Mark, i'm happy that you enjoy asean food, and yes, i'll appreciate it if you disable the comment especially when concerning malaysia and Indonesia, because i dont want either malaysian or indonesian to embarass themselves.

Mark, I tried the nasi lemak from RA Nasi Lemak. Firstly, I think it is no longer in buffet style, rather it is more like nasi kandar, you pay for how much food you eat. Besides, the nasi lemak's coconut flavor is not that strong and I tried their chicken rendang, vegie, egg, and sambal, they are not that good to my liking, so I think I won't go back again.

I am 20, and went over to Malaysia last year (from Australia) and I absolutely loved it. I spent most of time in Sabah between kota Kinabulu and Sandakan, and could not get enough of the delicious food. I know its a bit mainstream, but the Char Kway Teow was just heavenly. The food was always fresh, delicious and cheap. I am definitely going back.
