Before I descripe more about this food, lets find out
 the meaning first...Dim Sum directly translated, means "a little bit of heart".Those little dough dumplings, filled with vegetables, all kinds of meats,shrimps, and other small dishes, salty or sweet, are being served..
The dishes are served in bamboo vaporization bowls,which are placed over a steam trolley. Every several minutes the kitchen makes different dishes, and the diners choose their favourite..
The making of Dim Sum requires both skill and expertise, and it is taught in special school. Dim Sum are made in the tradisional customs by experieced chefs. Dim Sum are easily found at 
Chinese restaurants and hotels as breakfast or lunch. But Dim Sum also can be at another restaurant and are eadible by all races doesn't matter Malays, Seranies or even Indians because we all is ONE MALAYSIA..!!! So everybody can enjoy the food.....

....Nasi Lemak....

heeeee.....!!!!!!!!! Meet me again... For this post I would like to give brief discription about nasi lemak. As known by others, nasi lemak is one of the most popular dishes in Malaysia . Nasi Lemak is the most famous among the malay food. It is hot, spicy and rich.

The Nasi Lemak, that is rice cooked in coconut milk and flavoured with cloves and pandan leaves, is an all time favour. it usually topped with chilli sambal (hot and spicy gravy) and fried ikan bilis (anchovies), sliced hard - boiled eggs, and cucumber. you can also add in some peanuts if desire.

Where can you find it? Nasi Lemak can be found in many restaurants (malay, chinese and indian) or at the food stalls lining the streets in typical malaysian style. Many 5 star hotels serve Nasi Lemak for breakfast too. Sometimes, you can find Nasi Lemak packed in banana leaf. It could cost at little as 50 sen (cents).

Nasi Lemak is very famous for breakfast, lunch or even supper. a "must-try" food if your are a foreigner. you will like it!!

....Pulut Udang....

Hye there...!!!! For my first recipi, i would like to introduce you about pulut udang. Most of  us maybe had ate it before but we never know the name of food that we ate.. Below, i put a picture of  "Pulut Udang".

To let you know, "Pulut udang" has spicy coconut shrimp filling rolled inside steamed glutinous rice, wrapped in banana leaves and barbecued. It is a traditional Malay recipe. It is also known as "pulut panggang".

Other variations include "pulut lepa" which could have fish instead of shrimp or also "pulut bakar" which is sweet glutinous rice wrapped in a similar fashion but has no filling inside.

This special Malay food is very filling and usually served at teatime. Nowadays a piece of pulut udang would sell for at least 50 sen each by hawkers at the roadside or pasar malam (night market). I could easily down SIX of those in one sitting :P

It is good eaten hot, fresh from the charcoal fire. A typical housewife would not be bothered to make it herself for her own family because it is time consuming and also tedious to make. As usual, the same goes with all the good things.

Besides using the charcoal, this special coconut shrimp rolled in glutinous rice (pulut udang) can also be barbecued in an ordinary oven or grilled below or above gas fire.

I'm sure most of us want to make it by ourself..
