With Singapore’s cost of living constantly on a rise, even a simple Nasi Lemak that was once $2.50, can now go up to a whopping $20! So sometimes turning back to our kitchen and cooking up a meal for ourselves might just save us from breaking our banks in the long run.
In this episode of budget meals, Gurmit Singh challenged us to cook up a substantial nasi lemak with just $2! To add on, he listed a few guidelines of how he prefers his nasi lemak, reminiscent of his childhood days. He was looking for:
- a super lemak and fluffy rice, filled with coconut milk
- a crispy, deep fried selar fish
- a super spicy, aromatic sambal chili
The finishing touch is to wrap the nasi lemak in a banana leaf. This will add an extra hint of fragrance to the rice when you unwrap your meal.
So if you resonate with Gurmit, and these are what you look out for in your nasi lemak, then you gotta give this recipe a try!
