♥ Love of Our Life: Nasi Ambeng ♥$BlogItemTitle$>
By Claire
No doubt Singapore is a food paradise, it is difficult to find good and authentic Nasi Ambeng. Nasi Ambeng (pronounced 'um-bng') is a special rice dish. It is a traditional Javanese food which is very popular among the Malays. This dish is usually served during special occasions like Ramadan (Muslim fasting month), weddings, kenduri (Muslim thanksgiving) and anniversaries.
An authentic Nasi Ambeng should consist of seven different types of toppings. The toppings are serunding (coconut floss), acar (cucumber pickle), sambal goreng, gareng asam, potato cutlet, beancurd and fermented soya bean as well as a choice of mutton, chicken or beef rendang. With more than seven delicious toppings stacked on a bed of rice in a mountainous display, it is truly a feast.
You may find that some restaurants do not serve complete dish of Nasi Ambeng. One of the possible reasons could be that toppings like beancurd and fermented soya bean cannot be kept for too long as the freshness of it would be compromised. Hence, some owners may choose to eliminate such toppings.
In our coverage, we bring you through the hunt for Nasi Ambeng.
