Traditional Malaysian Version<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This traditional favourite offers sambal, ikan bilis (anchovies), peanuts and boiled egg. This is the most traditional version. You can find Nasi Lemak stalls serving them with fried egg, sambal kerang (cockles) &#8211; local favourite, sambal squids, sambal fish, chicken or chicken\/beef rendang, squid fritters or even fried chicken or fish. An absolute all rounder, you can have it for breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea, dinner and even supper (in Malaysia this is a meal that takes place after dinner, from around 10 pm to 4am ). It is also considered a favourite hang over food.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Malaysian Indian version<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0Malaysian Indian\u00a0variation is similar to the original version. However, many Malaysian Indians are Hindus, and do not eat beef. Therefore, beef is not included while preparing the Malaysian Indian version of nasi lemak. Nasi lemak in the Malaysian Indian version is served with\u00a0curry, such as chicken curry, fish curry or lamb curry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Malaysian Chinese version<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although it is not common to see\u00a0Malaysian Chinese\u00a0stalls and restaurants selling nasi lemak, there is a non-halal version that contains pork sold in towns and cities such as\u00a0Malacca\u00a0and certain parts of Kuala Lumpur. Some Malaysian Chinese hawkers are known to make minced pork sambal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.17em;\">4. Singaporean Chinese version<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Retaining the familiar aroma of pandan leaves, the Chinese variation comes with a variety of sides that includes deep fried drumstick, chicken franks, fish cake, curried vegetables and luncheon meat. This is the one most commonly seen and sold in Singapore!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_blurb admin_label=&#8221;Blurb: The Best Time To Start is TODAY!&#8221;
