I was beside myself with anticipation as my colleague parked the car. Hurry up. Ciki needs feeding.
White or yellow.
I chose yellow because I like being different and found it to be just greasy rice. (similar to garlic rice but less aromatic)
So, verdict? Whilst the side dishes ranging from squid to fried gizzards to curry chicken/mutton.. etc was fantastic, the rice was a real let down.
No santan. How can?! Well, if they didn’t call it nasi lemak, I would not be as peeved as I was. How can you call it nasi lemak and omit the lemak? That’s like having s** and not… (ok, nevermind.. got young readers whom I do not want to horrify).
But anyway, horrific lemak-less nasi lemak. Apparently Alor Star nasi lemak is like that. Go figure.
Where’s my messy plate of nasi unlemak drenched in sauce, nasi kandar style.
Burp. Next time just say you are taking me for Chinese nasi kandar – that would be the right term for this meal, me thinks!

Nasi without the LEMAK is a six-pack nasi (healthy mah…geddit geddit???).

That slogan cannot be submitted, by virtue of the fact that it's too TRUE and totally undisputed, therefore , cannot win! 😛

anton, joe, bsr babe:

exactly what Ah Xian introduced in his program not long ago. I can't believe that you had gone there already!!! Do you watch Ah Xian's program too??? He did introduce a lot of interesting places to eat good food!
I have 2 places in KL that I have to go… Cantonese food in Jalan Hang Jebat and seafood in Jalan Batu Tiga Lama… hahaha…
Uncle Ong learned his trade and cooking skill from mamak people while in Penang. Therefore most of his curries don't contain coconut milk… more of those spices instead.
nooooooo is it still too late to continue!??
nasi lemak without lemak is like going food blogging without a camera! (just like me! hehe)
Great name… Nasi UNlemak! lol
Btw, do celebrities have better taste buds than us mere mortals do? I rather get the certification of a trusted foodblogger like you, dear. 😉
without the lemak–the luscious gravy from the various curry should made up for it.
A very good spree of dishes to choose~~
I luv this type of contest:
Jack without the beanstalk.
Cinderalla without the stepmama. &
******Drumroll*****
Titanic without the iceberg!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha, nasi unlemak? Creative term! But I guess the various choices of dishes made it up?
Missing Malaysian food too much, guess I should learn how to cook nasi lemak by myself.
