It is a dish made with coconut flavored rice, with boiled eggs, fried peanuts, anchovies and a spicy shrimp sauce on the side, you will find this dish which is sold in fine restaurants at a small price and even sellers on the side of the road for less than 1 Malaysian ringgit. The high price does not guarantee a good dish from this dish and we have found that Village Park Nasi Lemak in Damansara Utama in Jaya Petaling is really the best.

A plate of pasta soaked in hot broth, made with mackerel chips, tamarind juice, pepper, mint leaves, lemon, onion and pineapple, Assam Laxa definitely wins the affection immediately, even if you are not a fan of spicy food. Although it is very high in spice levels, the light texture of transparent broth with creamy and strong glass pasta (plus the accompanying sweet shrimp dough, with mixture with soup), makes it a very relaxing and refreshing meal. Our favorite place in Kuala Lumpur is the O & S restaurant at Taman Paramount.

Accompanying side dishes of mackerel chips with grated coconut, crunchy fried fish from turmeric or beef, coconut sauce, salted eggs and nuts, it’s a delicious and delicious choice for breakfast among locals.
