Nasi Lemak Hijau

I am always looking for new recipes to try out and I would be happy to write a review on it, and share it with my blogger friends. Wokey, today I tried nasi lemak hijau for the first time using CMG's recipe and it turned out ok. The texture of the rice was very nice but the taste was quite 'strong' for nasi lemak. A little too heavy for my taste! I'd personally prefer nasi lemak biasa over NLH because I think it goes well with the sambal tumis. This nasi lemak hijau, if I were to make it again, I would pair it with something like dalca & ayam goreng berempah (or maybe gulai/kerutuk ayam?) for better taste. However, if you would like nasi lemak that tastes a lil different from the usual, then this NLH is something you should be trying, babe!

Note: This NLH recipe is by CMG (Che Mat Gebu) but recipe is copied from Kak Jun's blog. Thanks CMG and Kak Jun :)

Air Cendol

When you just came in from the sun, nothing can refresh you better than air cendol. It is easy to make and so refreshing. love it! Cheersss!

Air cendol is served in a cold mixture of cendol, coconut milk & gula melaka (brown syrup). Although it's a nice drink, it's not good to regularly drink air cendol for health benefits. Consuming too much santan/coconut milk is bad ;) errr.. am i writing like a teacher here? oh gosh! :D
