By now you would’ve guessed that I’m back in the UK – a VERY sunny one, to my ultimate suprise. No more nasi lemak for lunch, dinner and breakfast (and sometimes supper and afternoon tea)…but I will always have the pictures to remind me! My bags are unpacked (made bacon do it whilst I was sleeping), but its still all on tables and floors – lots to do. Only thing we did was to change the sheets, the house is still chronically in need of a good vac.

For those of you that are fairly new to my blog and are wondering what a nasi lemak is, it is basically rice cooked in coconut milk, with a spicy salsa-like sambal ikan bilis and a variety of other side dishes, from boiled egg to fried chicken and mutton curry. Usually served on a banana leaf wrap to impart an additional fragant flavour, this is a meal filled with complex and contrasting flavours and textures. See above for the most simple version .Malaysia’s national food, if ever there was one.

In the midst of uploading pictures with a frenzy (1.7 GB!) so more will come – if I can stop falling asleep at 8pm!! I do tweet a few times a day (well, try to) so do follow me.
