Kukus casts the limelight on Malaysia's quintessential rice platter, nasi lemak, featuring freshly steamed basmati grains, aromatic with coconut milk & accessorised with all the imperative anchovies, peanuts, fried chicken & water spinach, plus a customisable array of add-ons, from fried & boiled eggs to Kukus' true secret weapon: Four tasty types of sambal tumis.
Try to sample each of the sambals (RM1 per serving); every one is distinct & delightfully delicious, with well-balanced flavours & rich textures - the spicy tebaboh, savoury la forfo, non-spicy adek & vegetarian mambang with a coconut base. The sauces play a strong role in elevating the nasi lemak, which in its most basic form is served here with kangkung & timun for RM2.50. Other robust sides include sambal sotong (RM5.50), kari kapitan ayam (RM4.50) & - cockle alert! - sambal kerang (RM6.50).
