Is Nasi Lemak or Hainanese Chicken Rice better?
Nasi Lemak
椰浆饭是在马来西亚、新加坡与汶莱常见的美食,是马来西亚的非正式国肴。椰浆饭的马来文是“nasi lemak”,“nasi”意为饭,lemak本意是油脂,这里指的是椰浆;就是把米浸泡在椰浆裡后再煮成饭而得名。一般可用普遍锅子或电饭锅;有时候也会将打了个结的班兰叶放入锅裡一起煮,亦可加入香料如黄薑、香茅以增加椰漿飯的香味。 传统上,一盘椰浆饭裡要有黄瓜切片、小江鱼仔、烤花生、已搅炸过的蕹菜、全熟蛋(水煮蛋或煎蛋)、印度式腌菜与參峇醬(一种由虾酱与辣椒制成的酱料)。椰浆饭也可以有别的佐料,如鸡肉、章魚或乌贼、鸟蚌、印度脆饼、牛肉咖哩(把牛肉焖在椰浆与香料的混和物)或“巴鲁”(牛肺)。传统上,大多数的佐料是热辣性质的以及清凉解热的黄瓜。 椰浆饭传统上是用来当早餐吃的,在清晨开始就在马来西亚的路边档口贩卖,现在在菜市档口或店家都有售卖。通常是以报纸、油纸或香蕉叶包住卖的。无论如何,也有些餐厅把它盛在盘上当午餐或晚餐吃。
