Such a lazy day on sunday but I managed to prepare my simple dishes in a morning and having it for lunch. Perhaps the presentation wasn't look that good but the taste of the dish is simple marvelous. It's suppose to be Nasi Lemak but I couldn't find banana leaves so, I make it as 'Sambal with coconut rice'

Then tie pandan leaves and cook together with a pinch of salt.
