Let's start with me first .I just don't know why that is, in a week, I have to get my hands on a packet of nasi lemak . I guess it is the comfort food for all Malaysians.
Every Sunday, after mass, I would pop into the cafeteria and get a packet of nasi lemak before I head home. As I get home , and change into my thread bear t- shirt , I sit and unpack the packet of nasi lemak and dig in . It is what I always look forward to each Sunday .
I just can't say why but I just have to have it . It's like a drug an it cannot be compared to anything at all in the whole wide world .
Today was one such occasion. I took my dad to the hospital and I will tell you this, nasi lemak is good for family bonding , father and daughter time together and as well as mother and daughter time together.
Right, back to the story . I was at the hospital with my dad today, and we felt kinda hungry so we went up to the cafeteria ..lo and behold ..there were a lot to choose from . We were spoilt for choice there were nyonya kuihs , noodles and of course nasi lemak ..
We each took a packet of nasi lemak and sat down to eat . The silence between us, said it all. What I like about eating with my dad is, at the end of our meal , we talk about the aromatic rice right up to the ikan bilis ..you could say the works . Each time, when I have the time to go out with my dad, we end up eating !!!!
Now at this point I would like to say that having a meal with my mother can be nice too. Being a goo cook herself, we talk cake, cupcakes, food , food and more food .I guess she just enjoys cooking and as her daughters , we seem to follow in that path .
Nasi Lemak , I gotta tell you one thing though , you make my day complete. Complete to the T..I ain't gonna ever give you up .
