Malaysian Food - Eating Nasi Lemak in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Travel Video Transcript:

Well good morning good morning. Today we are having a late breakfast. It is probably close to ten in the morning and we're at a place called Old Town White Coffee. So we're going to be having Nasi Lemak which is one of the national dishes of Malaysia. And it basically consists of rice cooked in coconut milk. Steamed with coconut milk. So that should be really tasty. We've ordered two different varities. Sam already has his white coffee here so he'll be having that.

And you have? And I got I forget what I got. Something with lime. Lime juice? Lime tea? Lime juice?

I had a sip of it and it has a natural nice lime flavor.

So considering the name of this restaurant. It is called OldTown White Coffee. And the reason we're laughing is because I screwed this up on the previous clip. It is called Old Town White Coffee and white coffee is basically it is a coffee that originated from the city of Ipoh. So if you're traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Penang you're going to pass along.

Yeah, you're going to pass along that it is on the west side of Malaysia. Anyways um the coffee is really cool because it has condensed milk. It is made with condensed milk. To sweeten it. And it is a lighter roast as well. You can even see that in the color.

It is a uniquely Malaysian coffee

So anyways what I wanted to say it has a nice rich, frothy texture.

You can definitely taste the condensed milk and you can also taste the sugar that has been added in as well. But yeah, it is a lighter roast and it doesn't have that strong like overpowering coffee taste. Bitterness. Yeah, it doesn't have that bitterness and it is a little bit more palattable and it goes down a little bit easier.

So we ordered two mains and dessert. We were hoping the dessert would come after but it was the first thing to show up.

And it is made with ice so this is going to start melting which means we have to eat it first now. It is like soupy.

Um, so anyways this is Cendol and basically it is ice with coconut milk. It has palm sugar which you can see in here. Then this green stringy stuff. It can be made from rice flour or mung bean. We also have some rice balls.

Yeah, and this I'm not entirely sure. Oh, this is probably the red bean paste.

Okay, so let's grab. And it is the best dessert you can have in Malaysia to cool down.

Okay, so we got two different kinds of Nasi Lemak.

Ayam Masakamara. And ayam means chicken.

So I'm going to go for the chicken first.

And what else do you have on your plate?
I have coconut milk rice. So it is rice that has been cooked in coconut milk.

That is probably my favorite part of a Nasi Lemak.
And then over here we have what appears to be some crackers.
And then over here we have the sambal. Sambal.

And that is supposed to be a spicy and sweet sauce.

To finish off we have some cucumber.

I think the classic is actually supposed to come with peanuts.
