nasi lemak
The Bald Eagle left last night for Athens to pay homage to his favourite football team, Liverpool FC, as they meet AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League finals on May 23 (May 24 in KL).

So Sunday breakfast turned out to be a lonely one. I was in Bangsar this morning, and came across a tiny stall (it’s more of a table, really), at the junction of Jalan Telawi and Telawi 4, with packets of nasi lemak piled high.

A packet, wrapped first in banana leaf, then in brown paper, contains rice cooked in coconut milk, fried anchovies, roasted peanuts, a quarter of a hard-boiled egg and yummy sambal which has the right balance of chilli and sweetness. All for RM1 (that’s approximately US$0.25!).

My husband is half way across the globe to his destination right now, but I bet the food on his flight doesn’t taste half as good as my humble nasi lemak.
