There are many variations of Nasi Lemak in KL & PJ, because it is prepared by different chefs from different cultural and racial backgrounds. The original version of Nasi Lemak in KL & PJ is served with only a few basic ingredients, such as sambal, ikan bilis, hard-boiled egg and peanuts. To make the Nasi Lemak even more delicious, Malay-style Nasi Lemak is usually served with lots of additional “lauk”, such as rendang chicken, sambal sotong, sambal kerang, fried egg and many more. Chinese-style Nasi Lemak, on the other hand, is normally non-halal, because it is often served with pork dishes to cater to Chinese customers.
