Nasi Campur ( Malay rice buffet )

Simply underated, but still deliciously tempting...........

Indigenous Malay cuisine from Malaysia does not rank high on the International Gastronomical Charts. Nonetheless its quiet natural simplicity and pleasantly mild tastes belie a culinary charm that is both pure & refreshing. Some of its signature recipes like sambal petai, ulam and fragrantly coloured rices are to most more of an acquired taste. So the maxim that you either love it or hate it may be true.

As a whole lots of fragrant spices, coconut milk and sugar are featured in many Malay dishes, as are curries/chillis leading many to comment that Malay food is the same as Indian food ! Sure they do have a lot of similarities, but they are certainly not quite the same.

The delectable spread below show the more popular rice 'buffet' selections in everyday lunches/dinners of the office/working crowd.
