There is, for instance, the impressively executed Fifth Palate interpretation of our emblematic national dish. Called the Malaysian Breakfast, it comes together with a delicious Gula Melaka Teh Tarik (a frothy, creamy teh tarik that's been thickened with xanthan gum) that accentuates and complements the dish - but make no mistake, the Breakfast is all about that nasi so lemak. In an interesting twist, it seemingly pulls a lot of inspiration from the traditional lemang and sticky rice combo, with a satisfyingly fragrant pandan coconut rice that just about verges on being pulut-like. Then there's the sambal. The first notes are immediately sweet (with the sickening dread of running into yet another Village Park sub-standard sambal), but it quickly blooms into a heat coating the back of the throat. One of the best sweet sambals out there! .

As always, blog post upcoming soon about our full visit to Fifth Palate. Find out our full thoughts on the Malaysian Breakfast and more there. In the meantime, the Malaysian Breakfast is a must-try, so get on it!
