Nasi lemak is a traditional Malay rice dish, cooked in coconut milk and pandan (screwpine) leaves, traditionally served with a side of boiled egg, sambal, peanuts, anchovies and cucumber. Nyonya nasi lemak is a variety found in Penang and Malacca, prepared by the baba and nyonya, also known as the Peranakan. This version is usually prepared in a more Chinese style, where the sambal tends to be a little sweeter with the use of more onion, and the rice a little richer.

The nyonya nasi lemak here is served with a side of chicken curry, an omelette, a small pot of sambal and empingan (belinjo crackers). The rice had a rich and creamy aroma, typical of nyonya style nasi lemak, and the sambal sweet and concentrated, yet had the pronounced scent from the belacan (fermented shrimp paste). The sambal had a certain kick to it. Just tasty.
