In addition to the places from my childhood, mum also brought me to new places and the one we went this morning for Nasi Lemak (rice cooked with coconut milk usually accompanied by fried chicken or a curry) has just been added to my “to eat” list on future trips back to KL.
As Malaysian as they come, this is a stall set up under a highway bridge with just some chairs in downtown KL. By the time we got there, there was already a queue waiting for the macik (Malay lady) to serve her customers, though grumpily. Given that it was hot, we decided to “ta bao” (take away).
The stall is famous for its fried chicken which was fried to perfection with its golden hue and produces a satisfying crunch as soon as you bite into it. The fried chicken is also highlighted with its accompanying sambal (Malaysian chili paste) which has a unique smoky taste.
Given that I will probably be having the leftover from this morning for lunch and Mum & I are off to the Night Market tonight to tick off another item on my “to eat” list, I should now get off my butt, put on my runners and head off to the gym.
p/s The gym I go to here offers free soft drinks (no, not diet) and has skinny personal trainers who eat doughnuts. Hmmm….. I guess it is as contradictory as me going to the gym after indulging on all these food. As one of my colleague told me, you can always work it off when you get back.
