Malaysian Lemang

September 16, 2011

I am so excited to be invited by Rosa of Rosa's Yummy Yum to write and share with everyone about a traditional Malaysian delicacy, Lemang... (pronounce as Le-Mung).  Lemang is a 'must-have' dish during Eid celebration.

Being far away from home, with only glutinous rice, coconut milk and banana leaves easily available, I managed to re-create Lemang at home...
To my fellow Malaysians who reside overseas...and at times have that 'craving' for Lemang... fret no more... you too can make Lemang without bamboo and a huge bonfire in your back yard.

So let us head over to Rosa's Yummy Yum  blog to enjoy my Homemade Lemang.
And while you are there, do check out Rosa's exciting photographs of her mouth-watering food and her beautiful homeland of Switzerland... Everytime I look at her beautiful photos .... I was somehow lost in the land of my imagination... and kept on seeing Maria singing away with Von Trapps children... (nevermind that Sounds of Music was filmed in Austria...)


 These mouthwatering Beef Rendang is a good accompaniment to Lemang

    Can you believe I've not had lemang at all this Eid? I'm so making this, even if it means Syawal will be gone by the time I come back.

    Your lemang looks great! The Malaysian community here resort to frozen ones from the grocery store but homemade is so, so much better!

    Hi Lisa! Looks like one more dish add to my list that I need to try in Malaysia. It's sometimes hard to make a simple dish that you grow up with because of lack of ingredients. But when you actually manage to make it, it surely brings accomplishment. I'll go check Rosa's blog now. Lisa, another stunning photo that I immediately fall in love....
