We told the promoter what we wanted. When we paid at the counter only then we realized how expensive the total of the food. Lemang + 3 pieces of ketupat nasi + 5 pieces of chicken rendang= RM45.00. Wow!! it surely was costly.
However the food tasted nice. The lemang and ketupat nasi that were cut into few pieces were fresh and soft whereas the chicken rendang was mouth watering. Although the food that we bought at that stall was not cheap but it is value for money.
What is lemang?
We always see and hear most malay houses will have lemang during Hari Raya festivals. What is lemang and how is it cooked? Cooking lemang needs lots of skills.
This delicacy comes from glutinous rice with coconut milk that is cooked in long bamboo hollow tubes, that are cooked using open air fire. Banana leaves are used to line in the tube of bamboos before putting in the glutinous rice that is soaked with santan or in English is coconut milk.
Lemang is usually served during the Malay festivals like Hari Raya Puasa and Hari Raya Qorban. It's not easy to cook and sometimes you get those which is overcooked or turned hard at the sides of the cooked glutinous coconut rice . The lemang is normally served with chicken beef rendang or sometimes you can eat together with satay gravy.
Other than lemang, ketupat nasi daun palas is a must that the Malays will cook during Hari Raya. These triangular parcels contain glutinious rice are wrapped in palm leaves fronds called daun palas. So it is called ketupat nasi daun palas.
That is a little that I know of lemang and ketupat nasi daun palas. Thank you so much for dropping by at sapphire blu speaks her mind corner.
