If there’s one dish that represents Malaysia, it could be: <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i>. It\u2019s the right gasoline within the mornings, a super pick-me-up for lunch and the very best answer for late evening cravings. So when my colleague Alice spoke to me about <\/span>Nasi Lemak Bamboo<\/b>, a restaurant in <\/span>SS2, Petaling Jaya <\/b>which served <\/span>nasi lemak <\/span><\/i>steamed in bamboo (wager you already guessed that), I used to be immediately intrigued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re questioning the place the ingenious thought of steaming <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> in bamboo got here from, it originated in Sabah by a pair who needed to introduce a novel, fashionable, but<\/span>\u00a0genuine method of consuming nasi lemak<\/i> with their very own added aptitude.<\/p>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

Nasi Lemak Bamboo provides an assortment of\u00a0nasi lemak<\/i>:\u00a0Nasi Lemak Okay<\/i><\/b>osong <\/i><\/b>(RM6.90),<\/b> Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng<\/i><\/b> (RM15.90)<\/b>, Nasi Lemak Rendang Ayam<\/i><\/b> (RM15.90)<\/b>, Nasi Lemak Kari Ayam<\/i><\/b> (RM15.90)<\/b> and their best-seller, Nasi Lemak Kari <\/i><\/b>Bamboo Seafood (RM17.90)<\/b>. Intrigued by why the Nasi Lemak Kari <\/i>Bamboo Seafood is their best-seller, I opted for the Nasi Lemak Kari Bamboo Seafood<\/i> (I\u2019m a sucker for seafood).<\/p>\n

But would that be enough? My insatiable urge for food provoked. I gave in and ordered one in every of their best-seller snacks, the<\/span> Cucur Udang<\/i><\/b> (RM7.90)<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What I attempted at Nasi Lemak Bamboo<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

After 20 minutes, the<\/span> Nasi Lemak Kari<\/i><\/b> Bamboo Seafood <\/b>arrived. The <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> was truthfully fairly a powerful sight\u2014 it was served with an inverted bamboo on a rattan tray lined with waxed paper laden with the standard scrumptious toppings of hard-boiled egg, fried anchovies, peanuts, sliced cucumbers and a small bowl of <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

Time for the massive reveal! I gingerly lifted up the bamboo cylinder and in seconds, the much-awaited content material spilled out. Steaming scorching rice, juicy-looking prawns and squid enveloped within the seafood curry in an oblong piece of banana leaf\u2014 I couldn\u2019t ask for extra. This was performed by lining the hole bamboo tubes with banana leaves earlier than filling it up with seafood curry, recent prawns, squid and rice earlier than it’s left to steam for quarter-hour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

One chew of the<\/span> nasi lemak<\/span><\/i>, and I realised that this was not the normal curry I used to be used to. The curry doesn\u2019t have a sturdy flavour to it. Instead it\u2019s very mild tasting and has an fascinating sourish tang. This tang was undoubtedly one thing very new to me however I shortly embraced its style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m happy to report that the prawns and squid had been extraordinarily tasty and paired so effectively with the <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i>. The seafood wasn\u2019t rubbery and there was a beneficiant quantity scattered all through the <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i>. Plus, by steaming it in bamboo, there\u2019s a aromatic outcome and the seafood is cooked to perfection!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

I used to be, nevertheless, upset with the <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i>. On the optimistic aspect, the <\/span>sambal <\/span><\/i>wasn\u2019t candy (which is usually frequent within the <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> that\u2019s offered in Kuala Lumpur) however it wasn\u2019t spicy both. It was on the delicate aspect which I felt was underwhelming as I at all times take pleasure in a spicy <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i>. Thankfully the seafood curry was scrumptious by itself so I shifted my focus again to ending up the <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Food<\/p>\n

After inhaling the <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i>, I moved on to the<\/span> Cucur Udang<\/i><\/b> which got here with a bowl of Thai chilli sauce. I used to be secretly excited for this as I grew up consuming it in class and it had been years since I had gotten a style of this deep-fried crunchy snack.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dish<\/p>\n

The<\/span> Cucur Udang<\/span><\/i> is deep-fried to a crispy golden brown on the outside, but tender and chewy inside. This addictive snack is finest consumed instantly whereas nonetheless scorching and crispy. I used to be impressed to seek out moderately massive chunks of prawns in between the batter. It\u2019s scrumptious and flavourful by itself and you actually don\u2019t want any chilli sauce.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Final ideas<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Nasi<\/p>\n

As a Malaysian who grew up on <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i>, at first I discovered the concept to be unconventional and was moderately apprehensive. But after my maiden expertise tasting the <\/span>Nasi Lemak Kari Bamboo Seafood<\/span><\/i>, I discovered it to be a refreshing change from the normal <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> I used to be so accustomed to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus there\u2019s that added enjoyable of eradicating the bamboo tube dramatically slowly and watching all of the rice movement out (I\u2019m additionally a sucker for theatrics). The sourish style of the seafood curry was so welcoming however I solely wished the <\/span>sambal <\/span><\/i>was spicier\u2014 it could have then made this dish excellent for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ever in SS2 and are yearning for a plate of <\/span>nasi lemak<\/span><\/i> with a<\/span> sambal <\/span><\/i>that\u2019s not harsh in your palate head all the way down to Bamboo Nasi Lemak. After all, who can say no to a plate of <\/span>nasi lemak,<\/span><\/i> historically<\/span> cooked or not?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expected injury: RM8 \u2013 RM15 per pax<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
