Here's Where to Try Malaysian Breakfast in the US

"A California spot that reimagines nasi lemak with blue-tinted coconut rice colored by dried butterfly pea flower, Belachan sambal terasi (with fermented shrimp paste, tomatoes, garlic, and shallots), ultra-crispy fried chicken marinated in koji, coconut floss with turmeric, and peanuts; the chef embraces California’s diversity and adapts tradition rather than strictly adhering to it. The roti canai is made from a family ghee-and-flour recipe sweetened with condensed milk and served with a chickpea coconut curry, and instead of teh tarik the kitchen offers a gingery hot milk tea called teh halia. The chef has catered high-profile events, including preparing hundreds of nasi lemaks for the 2023 APEC conference." - Sharon McDonnell
