Nasi lemak is the best xD

Possibly the greatest dish ever created by Malaysians, nasi lemak is one of the most versatile meals that can be found in Malaysia. This simple meal can be found almost everywhere, be it in the heart of any Malaysian city or in the remotest areas of the country. It has become such a favourite amongst Malaysian that there are some who eat it at least once everyday!

The ingredients and the cooking process involved in creating this tasty meal is simple. Nasi lemak is rice cooked in coconut milk. Screw pine leaves, locally known as pandan leaves, are first washed and later added into the cooking pot to give the rice its signature fragrance. The rice is usually eaten together with anchovies fried till golden brown, crispy cucumber slices, roasted peanuts, half boiled egg and chili paste known as sambal.

Throughout the years, the recipe has been adopted by many people in Malaysia and improvised to suit their taste buds. Certain cooks have found that including slices of ginger into the rice helps improve the taste of the rice. Realizing that the rice goes well with almost anything, many traders add simple things to the list of condiments and side dishes to go along with the rice. Chinese traders usually offer chicken curry, chicken sausages, luncheon meat and even stir-fried water convolvulus as side dishes, to be added on as pleased. As spicy dishes are not the norm for most Chinese folks, the zing in the chili paste from Chinese traders is toned down, often with a tinge of sweetness in it. Other budding entrepreneurs, in an effort to make their product more noticeable, have chosen to add green artificial colouring to the rice.

The varied taste of nasi lemak also exists amongst Malay traders. The varying amount of coconut milk used when steaming the rice makes a world of difference. Too little of the coconut milk and the rice ends up tasting watered down. Put in too much and the smell of the oil from the milk overpowers the rice. Another important factor that greatly enhances the taste of this dish is the chili paste that goes with it. That too varies with the individual traders as some make it really spicy compared to others. While the Chinese traders sell nasi lemak with sausages and curry chicken, the Malay traders have introduced their own crispy fried chicken or spring chicken as an accompaniment to the dish.

There is one item that is commonly used in packaging nasi lemak, and that is the banana leaf. Banana leaves are not only ecologically friendly, but also lend an aromatic fragrance to rice wrapped within it. In the olden days, farmers working in the fields would normally eat banana leaf wrapped rice with for lunch. Because of this, sellers often use it when packing the steaming hot rice, making it more appetizing to the customer when they open it to eat.

Why is technology important?

Technology is important in life because it is the only economic force that is guaranteed to move in a forward direction. It's also important because people need to make important phone calls. And it is important because it allows people to utilise tools that allows overcoming of mental and the practical application of knowledge. To advance our everyday life!

Technology is an absolute need we cannot escape from. Let’s just say, it has a very big role in most aspects of our lives. In other words, it answers most of Mankind problems. Across centuries technology evolves. The importance of technology is aiming for comfort of use in whichever form it is. It always directs for easiness in life.

Take the mobile technology for example. The faster the world is moving, the more hi-end the features are offered. Laptop gets thinner and smaller. It becomes more compact every year and offers more capabilities and top performance. It should load a lot of stuffs in a more concise shape. That is the need. Period. People should not take time to think of what should be brought over a sales presentation in the southern state since everything is already “filed” in the laptop.

Also for telephone. The need to be able to communicate anytime, anywhere, has inspired scientists to create cellular phone. And it gets smaller and smaller. And then it has more features, more games, more entertainment, and now offered more professional like having a computer in the pocket. And then from costly, it goes cheaper and better and faster and become more reliable.

The fact that the importance of technology in our daily basis is undeniable has inspired scientists to make improvements from time to time through their invented tools and devices for us to use, just to make our lives easier. We always tend to make one step ahead. Technology can help not just with the present but also approximating the future. It can calculate the potential profits and losses. And based on these, we can create plans and a list of pre-cautious steps for the future of our descendants.
