Pandan Nasi Lemak

Hello,

A busy month has passed! Last week I came back from my home town where I spent 3 weeks for holidays. I felt the weather was a little bit sunny and hot but when it was raining for a few days, the temperature was just nice for me, just like here in Brittany.

This time my holiday it's all about food and meet up some relative which are some of them I haven't seen for quite long time. This holiday also means it's time to let go for a while or to forget all the food guilt and just enjoy the good food that I missed for so long.

Once arrived here, it won't take me that long to cook some Asian famous dish after my holiday and last few days, I made pandan nasi lemak using the fresh screw pine leaves that I brought from my mum house. It was similar with the nasi lemak recipe from my previous post, I just used and add the pandan juice together with the coconut milk. It seems like this nasi lemak with the sambal is the best one I've made so far, it tastes as good as it looks. We both agreed with that!
