Rendang and Lemang

Assalamualaikum and welcome to all the reader,

Hearing the beautiful classical Hari Raya song, make me wonder many kinds of food during Hari Raya…how I really miss it.

When we talk about Hari Raya, most of us will have the picture of rendang and lemang flashed inside our mind. This 2 food can be consider as the symbol Hari raya. The most famous rendang in Malaysia is rendang daging and rendang ayam. The aroma of the rendang can melt every hunger in the people’s stomach.

Enough with the rendang. Now let’s us talk about lemang. To describe lemang, it is a delicacy containing glutinous rice and coconut milk that's roasted inside a hollow bamboo stick.

Lemang is not easy to make as it need to be roasted over a slow fire for around three to four hours to make sure it cooked completely. Once it cooked, the bamboo stick have to be split to take out the cooked lemang.

Then we serve it together with rendang.
