Thanks to @strikingjacqpot and @ohjackiebkk ! team for contributing these fantastic meals to the #MakeGoodWaste program with @foodforfightersth . Seriously, this ain’t no slap-together ‘Phat grapao’ (basil stir fry) to simply fill bellies, this meal is good enough for any authentic mid-range restaurant, looking to please well paying patrons. The Oh Jacki gang, made Nasi Lemak Chicken, a dish originating from Malay cuisine that consists of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf and Sambal (hot spicy red sauce) with garnishes like cucumber slices, small fried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, and hard-boiled or fried egg. The combination is just wild, and sometimes - dare I say it - a welcome relief from the household Thai food, as it combines elements of crunch, sweet, savory, spice and artomatics in a totally different way.
If anything, for those who have lived or visited Singapore or Malaysia, it really hits you in the ‘feels’. Gosh, I miss traveling. And although there are many many variations of this dish, Oh Jackie's version leans closer to the authentic but with special touches. That batter! It will make you weep inside with happiness. It's so good. Fluffy and light, but crispy and robust, unlike the Thai fried chicken, which is also addictive but the crispy skin is denser and deeply saturated with oil. The Jacki O version texture feels closer to a tempera. Then there’s the Sambal, Ok, so I’m no expert in that department but there is a great amount of depth and flavour in one tiny lick. It’s concentrated love. Yes! We loved it that much, like coming “home” to a place which is not our home. You’ll probably love it too, so why not give it a try. Drop in their LINE every Monday to see what's up for grabs or pre-order to see what specials are in store.
