Nasi Ulam

.

Marsya, you are really one of a kind, dear. While other kids ( adults too ) despise vegetables, you on the other hand cant eat without one. And on top of that, you love all those ulams too where you could actually it them raw. That's what we called "mummy's gal" !

Since you love those ulams, nasi kerabu has been one of your favourite dish. But that's not what I'm cooking today (since I dont know how to make nasi kerabu.....hehehe). Today's special dish would be something similar to Nasi Kerabu where lots of ulams are involved. It's called Nasi Ulam - one complete, balanced dish where all important nutrients like carbohydrate, protein, minerals & fiber (minus the fats) are all in. And most importantly, the taste is as good too !
