Gathering of Authentic Malaysian Cusines

Curry Chicken
Our group of Jalan-jalan Cari Makan friends got together for a sumptuous potluck of Malaysian cuisines in the back lawn of a friend's home in Surrey. We had more than ten different cuisines to start with. My contribution this time was curry chicken and fried sweet potato balls. But the main course for yesterday's potluck was chicken satay. The host prepared about one hundred sticks of chicken satay and he was grilling them when we arrived.

Grilled Chicken Satay
Other than the satay, we also have barbecue beef steak which was the other grilled cuisine. Then, we have Nasi Kungit, or also known as Turmeric Rice, which was just right with the curry chicken. In fact, this was the first potluck occasion that I have seen this rice cuisine. The only difference was the type of rice used in the turmeric rice. My mum used to cook turmeric rice using glutinous rice and has lots of pepper corns in the rice. Our host for the evening have also prepared the peanut sauce as the dip for the chicken satay. The next Malaysian cuisine was Nasi Lemak wrapped in banana leave and parchment paper, which was used to contain the fragrant of the coconut milk flavour.

Nasi Lemak
There were about fifty packs of nasi lemak on the buffet table when we first arrived, but as the party started and while waiting for the satay to cook, we ate the nasi lemak. Nearly everybody started with the nasi lemak and each ate at least two packs of them. When all the guests have finally arrived, the friends that have started with the nasi lemak were already filled with the nasi lemak slowed down on the eating. By which time, there were less than half of the nasi lemak packs left in the serving tray.

Barbecue Chicken Wings
Cendol
The other Malaysian cuisines that we had for the evening were fried mee siam (fried vermicelli), beef rendang, chicken with shitake mushrooms cooked in soy sauce, barbecue chicken wings, glutinous chicken sticky rice, with cendol and fruits for desserts. The evening was just dining on Malaysian cuisines prepared by my fellow home cooks.
