Nasi Lemak @ the fort

For many of us, the first word that comes to mind upon hearing the word nasi lemak is the dish Nasi lemak (Jawi: ناسي لمق)  a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and "pandan" leaf commonly found in Malaysia, where it is considered the national dish; Brunei; Singapore; Riau Islands; and Southern Thailand. 

My first encounter with this restaurant was when I celebrated my 20th birthday with friends in Robinsons Galleria. The place as I recount was pretty charming with wall displays of Singapore's picturesque scenery. They serve the best of Singapore in a fusion of Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Japanese, Indonesian, and Indian cuisine without MSG. This is owned by a former OFW Filipina named Cora Lelina and managed by Mr. HK Tan a Singaporean restaurant consultant. 

Our second time around was at the fort branch, it was raining that time such a very inviting moment to eat and as a result we've decided to have some snack. Also at that time Mr. HK Tan was at the restaurant, being an expert restaurateur and a good hostess  he suggested what's best to eat, and what compliments what. After our superb meal he invited us to watch how they make natural milk tea, then-after have a taste of it. And it was good! 

The sweet aroma of the coffee was very strong, it made me excited to sip it with no delay. 
Malaysian coffee, with invigorating taste a perfect warmth to a rainy day.
