The people from the food nation shared this delicious news during the launch of the first in a series of public culinary workshops that are aimed at keeping interest and knowledge of heritage recipes and cooking techniques alive.?

Intan Nasi Lemak @ Taman Free School, Penang

Intan Nasi Lemak is one of those hidden gems tucked away inside apartment compounds away from the main road that you usually won’t know about unless you a) reside in that  neighbourhood, b) someone who’s been there brought you or in the case of a flogger like me c) a reader tells you about it! Said reader urged me to give it a try, touting it to be one of the tastiest nasi lemaks around.

Intan Nasi Lemak is your neighbourhood food stall where you can get a quick satisfying meal at reasonable prices Continue reading
