I actually did not know that there was this dish called Nasi Ambeng or Nasi Ambang until this Monday. It was being sold at the bazaar. When I went back to school yesterday, I asked Haji Hasnin about this dish. He told me that Nasi ambang is a Javanese dish in origin. What it consists of is rice with portions of a meat dish like beef or chicken rendang sambal goreng tempe (a mix of vegetables and soybean cake),serunding kelapa (fried grated coconut), salted fish and sambal belacan (pounded chilli and prawn paste) served on a piece of banana leaf. The one sold at the bazaar had a small portion of mee goreng or fried noodles added as well. Sometimes a small portion of mee goreng is also added. And it seems that a serving of Nasi Ambang can easily feed a family of 4.
