Auntie, this receipe is making me very hungry
Is it ok to leave out pandan leaves? I don’t know where I can find pandan leaves here. I love nasi lemak but it’s inconvenient to get them from restaurants. Maybe I can try making a big pot this weekend for lunches for next week.
This is a great site Auntie! Good job! I wish I have more time to learn making all these yummy food.

Hi dear, you can omit the pandan leaves. Don’t forget the sambal to go with the nasi! Try my crispy fried prawns and fried ginger pork balls, my children love them.
