Chicken Curry Nasi Lemak - Penang Village KLCC

The lunch crowd at KLCC today was absolutely sweet. Ramadhan bliss! Anyway to cut the story short, I headed up to Penang Village in KLCC and ordered the easiest dish for lunch. A Malaysian's favorite which is nasi lemak or coconut milk rice. This dish is the best to order for lunch if you are short of time. Everything is pre-prepared, nothing needs to be cooked and you do not even have to reheat it.

Damn food came after 15 minutes. I asked what took so long? Did you go buy it from the stall downstairs? (Considering there wasn't a crowd in there.)

Does that look like chicken curry to you? Nope..I didn't think so.

Looked pretty good at first sight. Nice cuts of cucumber and lots of nuts and fried anchovies. Just a little tiny tad of sambal belacan, half a hard boiled egg and the chicken curry. But, as usual, something was amiss. There was no aroma. The rice just did not have the nasi lemak aroma, the coconut milk was missing in the air. I went really close and had a sniff. Nothing. Not a good sign.

It's ok I said to myself, maybe the chicken's good. It did not look anything like chicken curry. It was more like a wet chicken rendang. I was hungry so I began to chow down. Chicken tasted bland. Not enough spices in it. It was not spicy and it did not have the flavors of a proper chicken curry. Conclusion - This sucked! No taste, not tantalizing, not exciting, not yummy! The only bonus is the small speck of sambal belacan which was pretty good.
