Nasi Goreng Kampung around Kuala Lumpur


I've been staying in Kuala Lumpur for some time now and have been going around and tasting local food. Being a Filipino with a friend introduced me to one the local comfort food around called, "Nasi Goreng Kampung", literally -Village Fried Rice. You can have it in almost any NAsi Kandar restaurant and Hawker's around KL. It's basically fried rice with garclic, some leafy vegetables such as kailan or kangkong, carrots strips in some, shrimp, chicken strips, anchovies and chilies all fried in a wok. So far I have tasted around more than 10 varieties of varieties of this dish around KL and the best I have tasted so fa is the one in Suria food court, in an outlet called "Ahmeed" They offer a choice of chicken or squid on your NGK and I swear the squid was really good. The second best would be the stalls fronting one side of the Sunway Lagoon Hotel. This area is near local schools and universities so a lot of students go around here to eat. Recently bought a sachet mix of this NGK and made one at home. It's really very easy for anyone to make.
