🥗 Nasi Lemak is a fragrant and flavorful dish that originates from the island of Singapore. It consists of coconut-infused rice, spicy sambal chili, fried vegetarian anchovies, peanuts, and a side of spicy French beans, tau kwa (fried tofu), and tempeh. This dish is typically served with a fried egg and cucumber, but the vegan version at Gokul restaurant replaces the egg with a fried plant-based alternative. The rice is cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaves, giving it a rich and aromatic flavor. The sambal chili is a spicy and sweet chili paste that adds a kick to the dish. The fried vegetarian anchovies and peanuts provide a crispy and savory texture, while the spicy French beans, tau kwa, and tempeh add a depth of flavor to the dish. Some reviews mention that the sambal chili can be too spicy for some, but overall, Nasi Lemak is a delicious and satisfying vegan dish that is sure to satisfy your cravings for a taste of Singapore.
