Those days nasi lemak were served as breakfast . But today they are taken at anytime of the day. Prices also differs depending on the condiments. Some are packed with a piece of fried chicken, sauted squids, beef rendang or curry chicken. Some are served with shredded beef (serunding daging...IMG_4872.JPG

These days nasi lemak are sold at any eatery outlets and restaurants. Unlike those days when nasi lemak were sold on foot, ferrying from house to house , carried in a basket for 50 cents only!
