Discovering Nasi Lemak: Brilliant Nasi Lemak Uptown

Thursday, June 11, 2015

Nasi lemak has become the staple food for the regular Malaysians morning breakfast. This dish has grown up with us since we were young. It's hard to resist those aromatic coconuts infused rice coupled with basic sambal sauce and even harder it is for us to describe everything in a sentence of two because it brought with it a flurry of emotions. Over time, this dish has also evolved, the rice is still the same but the sambal sauce has incorporated with many other ingredients to cater to the needs of different palates.

On one of our regular Saturday morning, we headed to Brilliant Nasi Lemak for a late brunch and were told that they offer a variety of side dish to go with the coconut rice. Brilliant!

Try to spot this logo when looking for this place. It is right opposite RHB bank.
My order is the one at the top, it's stuffed squid sambal. The one on the bottom is nasi lemak with 3 types of sambal (regular, shrimp and one more don't remember). The dish on the most right is pork curry and that is their most recommended dish.
The meal was splendid for a late lunch. We were hungry and the menu seems to offer almost all my favourite dishes, from nasi lemak to wanton noodle to kaya toasts. Then I ended up eating more than I should (I have a constant battle between loving to eat and not wanting to be fat). Even though the crowd started to pour in (which I don't understand why because it's already quite late for lunch too) but we didn't have to wait long for our subsequent orders, we were rather occupied with our own food.
Halfway through eating, the table next to us ordered this. We couldn't resist not ordering and hate to be a lose out for something that looks so delicious. Boy, I'm glad we did. This fried drumstick is marinated overnight using lemongrass, galangal, turmeric and curry leaves. The result is a drumstick that is rich and flavourful from the spices.
Fried chicken wing, this is more for the health conscious. They use the air frying method, i.e. no oil is used in the process of frying the chicken wing. It's equally tasty and savoury. 
Lastly not to be missed is this signature dessert that I can't recall the name, yet again. It helps to soothe the throat after all spiciness and fried stuff we had earlier. The portion is quite generous or perhaps I already had too much prior to this.
