Nasi lemak is a Malay rice dish made from coconut rice served with a side of boiled egg, anchovies, peanuts, cucumber and sambal, with the occasional fried chicken on the side. Biryani is an Indian rice dish cooked with ghee (clarified butter), nutmeg, cloves, cardamom and an assortment indian spices.

The nasi lemak biryani at Maguldi was served with biryani rice, but had the addition of daun kesum (vietnamese mint), a herb commonly used in Malay cooking. It gave the very indian dish a very Malay touch, which made it quite interesting. The sambal has a good spicy kick to it, with a pronounced sweetness from the onions used. The chicken drumstick served on the side was an indian inspired ayam berempah, a traditional Malay fried chicken but with a more intense flavour. Quite a great nod to the intercultural culinary experience that is Malaysia.
