I Need To Tell : The World From My Perspective: <b>Nasi Ayam</b> Bakar <b>...</b>

I went to The Spring, where the food bazaar had been relocated to upstairs ... and well, I did like the new look of the place! Especially eye-catching were those cage-like enclosures for people to sit on. Great for those who like novelty .... or those who get a kick for being birdies in a cages ....

Sugarbun, The Manhattan Fish Market, Kluang Station, and eventually Kenny Rogers Roasters have been relocated there as well.

From the "Indon" stall, I ordered Nasi Ayam Bakar Sambal ... it looked great in the picture .... but this was what I got ...

My serving of Nasi Ayam Bakar Sambal, RM10.00


Well ... it's just plain old nasi ayam penyet, with grilled chicken instead of deep-fried smashed chicken. I was not too impressed with the presentation, nor with the taste of the food. The chicken and the sambal hardly made an impression, but the little tofu square did. It was piping hot when I bit into it, and I loved the distinctive taste of soy in it. The cabbage, of course, looked downright unappetising.

I was also very uncomfortable with the word "Indon", which to me sounded rude and degrading. Why not just stick with "Indonesian"?

Today I really miss nasi ayam penyet somehow. This picture was taken when I made this nasi when we first arrived here about two months. I cannot make it today coz still not well (coughing, flu and fever) so try to avoid spicy food (well this sambal should be hot and spicy, baru best).

In Malaysia I went to two restaurants having nasi ayam penyet and one of it was my regular visit after then. Satu lagi tu sangat x best especially the soup was like putting ajinomoto in a water only  which failed to impress us and my 6 yrs old son in fact was asking me; "mama, sup ape ni?".

 Even a simple nasi ayam penyet, every serving has to be completely cooked with love, not 'ala kadar' to have a perfect meal.

p/s: among all i love the sambal, the longest time cooked but worth.
