Nasi Lemak, here served with fish cake, ikan bilis, egg, and buah keluak chicken.

Nasi lemak is a dish that is commonly sold in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Southern Thailand. In fact, it has been called the unofficial national dish of Malaysia (though such claim is unheard of outside of Kuala Lumpur). In the East Coast of Malaysia, Terengganu and Kelantan, their version is called Nasi Dagang although this claim is never acknowledged by anyone as both dishes can usually be found sold side by side for breakfast. There is a similar dish in Indonesia called nasi uduk.

Spices such as ginger (common in Malay cuisine) and occasionally herbs like lemon grass may be added for additional fragrance. Not to be confused with the Malayalam language, spoken in India. ...

Different versions

Due to its fame and widespread availability, Nasi Lemak comes in different versions if prepared by different chefs. Hotels have nasi lemak on their menu with elaborate dishes, such as beef rendangs and the addition of other seafood, while humble roadside stalls also sell them ready packed, known as "Nasi Lemak Bungkus" which literally means "Wrapped Nasi Lemak" which contain minimal additions that costs between Ringgit Malaysia 1 to 7 per pack. Due to Malaysia and Singapore being multi-racial, both the Malaysian/Singaporean Chinese and Malaysian/Singaporean Indians have come up with their own versions.

Malaysian Indian version

The Malaysian Indian version is very similar to the original version but as Hindus cannot consume beef, it is omitted. Even Malaysian Indian-Muslim restaurants, or more known as mamaks, refuse to serve beef in their premises, citing Hindu customers, to solve this problem usually people will replace beef meal with dishes made from fish, beef curry would then be replaced with fish curry.

Malaysian Chinese version

Although it is not common to see Malaysian Chinese stalls/restaurants selling nasi lemak, in towns and cities such as Malacca and certain parts of Kuala Lumpur, there are Malaysian Chinese versions of Nasi Lemak which is non-halal as the Malaysian Chinese version normally contains pork in place of beef and/or other meat, with the chilli more spicy. Some Malaysian Chinese hawkers are known to make minced-pork sambal. This article is about the state in Malaysia. ... For other uses, see Pork (disambiguation). ...

Vegetarian version

In certain parts of Kuala Lumpur some Malaysian Chinese and Malay hawkers have started nasi lemak stalls that offer vegetarian nasi lemak, with the sambal prepared totally without meat.
