Malaysian Food... Nasi Lemak... Ungkie Pesto.

I remember the moment when I arrived in Malaysia, chatting with Min Huei in the car, as he came to pick me up from the airport. Along the journey back to Subang, he asked me in the car,

"So... what are the things you miss most in Malaysia, asides the people?".

I immediately told him,

"FOOOOOD!!!!", and yeah from there I continued, "NASI LEMAK man, NASI LEMAK!!!"

And so yeah.. he then booked me on a certain date, and promised me,

"I'm gonna bring you to one that I has good nasi lemaks =)".

So - Taaa Daaaa!! That day came, and he brought me to this place around Seapark, PJ.

Chinese restaurant by day...

...Indian restaurant by night.

They open as early as 6.00pm, and by the time we got there at 6.00pm sharp, there were already people eating there! Famous indeed! Truly one of the most famous and best Nasi Lemak you can get around PJ. Really!

OH! NASI LEMAK!! With 'MATA KERBAU'! *faints* (exaggeratting betul aku..)

Min Huei.. wonder who/what is he looking at..?

Later on he brought me to SS2, to enjoy the atmosphere of the Pasar Malam... :)

Sorry, only took one photo of it...

And later on he treated me with Ice Kacang too! =D

*drolls*
Anyways, asides that, these are some of the 'yours truly' Malaysian food that I ate back then -

Asam Laksa... ate this at Lai Kong. Not bad at all :)

The Infamous Char Kuey Teow..

TOM YAM!! YEAH!!

Oh, this one goes to Zoey. Ate this at Williams (exclusively available only at Willaims) ...

UNGKIE PESTO!!!
(pronounced ang-ky pes-toh...sounds that way la, not sure about the spelling..)

Mash potatoes, wrapped pandan leaf chicken, 2 large sausages with their special minced meat sauce and a few large slices of ham. Crazily filling, and it costs RM15.00. Hahaha.

Other than that, I forgot to take photos of myself eating Bak Kut Teh, Prawn Mee, Ipoh Hor Fun(the one from Old Town White coffee is quite nice), Curry Mee, Wan Tan Mee... etc etc etc...

MAN, I LOVE MALAYSIAN FOOD!

*if you're wondering why no roti canai or whatsoever roti, I've actually grown sick of eating them since I was quite an avid roti canai eater as young as I was 8 years old....nevertheless I still LOVE eating them ok? :)*
