Nasi lemak or nasi ayam penyet? Which one to order? Tried both (at different times, but at the same restaurant) to compare the two in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam. …
The common ingredients are fried chicken, steamed rice, sliced cucumbers, and sambal. For ayam penyet, the fried chicken is a drumstick and thigh. For lemak, it’s a wing. Here, nasi ayam penyet is a complete meal that comes with shrimp chips, cabbage, tofu, and a small dessert. Nasi lemak has the signature anchovies plus peanuts, but it’s a smaller, lighter meal.
