TUCK IN

Nasi lemak is Kuala Lumpur’s signature dish, eaten off banana leaves at streets stalls or on fine porcelain in restaurants alike. At its base is white rice soaked in coconut cream. Side dishes include boiled egg, sliced cucumber, roasted peanuts and dried anchovies, as well as spicy sambal sauce. It’s often accompanied by deep-fried chicken. Try nasi lemak at Village Park Restaurant (45 Jalan ss21/37, Damansara Jaya) or a more upmarket version at Bijan (3 Jalan Ceylon; bijanrestaurant.com).
