Anyways, as anyone in or has visited Malaysia will know, Nasi Ayam is probably one of the most (ok…second to Nasi Lemak) popular hawker-style dish amongst Malaysians.

I was asked by a new friend to post the recipe of what I made for dinner last night. Since I tend to cook a lot for dinner (cheaper than eating out everyday) and I don’t seem to have much else to write in here anymore, I think I will start writing more about what I cook. This quick, easy dish can be served with lemon garlic butter & steamed green beans for a perfect meal. Ingredients Crab and scallop stuffing and fish: 4 oz jumbo lump crab meat (1 cup) 1/2 pound bay or sea scallops 1 1/2 tablespoons... Continue Reading
