NASI PANDAN

One of my favourite food is Nasi Pandan.  There is one stall at the Gourmet Square in Ipoh that sells this type of rice and the accompanying dishes are very delicious.  So much so that one would usually have to line up to order the food.
Below you see the plate of Nasi Pandan or Pandanus Rice that I had for dinner on Saturday.  The dishes are cooked Nyonya or Peranakan Style.

I recently got the recipe for preparing the rice and am sharing it with you here.
