“Teh tarik” and “nasi lemak”

 

Exactly, i am indonesian..now, i live in malaysia. I have stay in kuala lumpur since 8 months ago. I take master by course in one of university in kuala lumpur, capital city of malaysia. From that time, i have learned many kind of interesting behaviour, culture and food. Specially for the food, i like eat nasi lemak…nasi lemak is kind of malaysian food that very suitable served as breakfast. The taste of the rice is different like common rice, i think the rice like “nasi uduk” in indonesia. Nasi lemak is served with a half of egg,  ”teri” and peanut that mix together with sambal. Honestly, i am sambal maniac..favorite sambal here is sambal in nasi lemak. The taste of most sambal here is strange for my tongue..not hot, but a bit of sweet…i think it can’t called sambal.

 Another special food here is “teh tarik”. From the malaysian word, Teh means tea and tarik means pull. Teh tarik is named of malaysian drink that mix tea and creamer. The mixing using tradional way, not just mixed with spoon, but using 2 cups, one tea in one cup is placed in the higher place then spilled to another cup that placed in the bottom. That mixing looks like pull the water from the one cup to another cup..so people called it “teh tarik”. From the picture, we can see that the color looks like a cofee. from the taste looks strange…not feel like a tea. Try it to prove…..for me, better to drink original tea…although here any original tea, but the taste is different, so i brought many tea from indonesia when i back.
