I think that nasi lemak is very delicous!!!!

[edit] Regional differences

Unofficial national dish of Malaysia? I know many Singaporeans who would dispute that. I also lived in Malaysia (Kelantan and Selagor) for many years, but never heard of it until I spent some time in Singapore. So: how well known is Nasi Lemak in Malaysia outside of KL and maybe Johor?

What?!?!?! You haven't heard of it??!! Nasi lemak is EVERYWHERE in Malaysia!! It's my fave food!! I eat it EVERY single morning!! In kelantan, the nasi lemak is more to the echovies. They add a lot of enchovies! Go back to Malaysia and find a stall that sell nasi lemak!

Obviously you're not local. Maybe you never mixed with locals while you'e in Selangor?

More interesting, though, are the differences in the way it's served. I like eating a curry with nasi lemak, but the Singaporeans tell me that this is WRONG, and it should be a fried egg and (dry) chicken wing. In KL it's easy to get it with curry. Is this, too, a regional difference?

It's a regional difference. It's almost always with curry in m'sia, and nearly always dry in Sing. I'm also aghast that the original commenter claimed to have lived in K'tan and Selangor and never seen Nasi Lemak. Did you spend your time here locked in a box or something?

Whether you're in Singapore or Malaysia, or in KL or not, different restaurants, not to mention different cooks, will of course have DIFFERENT styles of preparing it. Even the Chinese have come up with a non-halal version and vegetarian versions218.208.243.8 (talk) 14:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
