The best nasi lemak are the ones that fit in your palm. If it's too big, it's just too much of a good thing. We have a Malay word for that - "muak". But this fist sized nasi lemak is just the right amount.
I wanted to tell the makcik selling it to up the price from RM1 to RM2, however. But I made sure to buy her kuih and lauk to make it better.

@liztai It looks so small. Nasi Lemak as tim sum or sushi?

@eviltofu it fits in the palm of my hand so the right portion for me for one day. I shouldn't be eating too much rice imho

@liztai I was thinking a couple of days back about how hard it is to translate the idea of muak to English

@ubi yeah it's hard to translate. Best I could come up with is "gross" but that's not right either.
