NASI LEMAK PANCAKE - A Unique Rendition of Nasi Lemak at Pancake House Truly Malaysian Promotion

Pancake House Introduce  - NASI LEMAK PANCAKE

NASI LEMAK is Malaysian favourite breakfast meal and for some of us, it can also be an anytime meal. I believe most Malaysian will vouch for Nasi Lemak for their version of the best Nasi Lemak recipe or their best stall to have this dish.

In conjunction with the celebration of Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day 2018, Pancake House is offering its' very own Nasi Lemak Pancake. As Pancake House is famous for its pancake - making a Nasi Lemak rendition from the pancake is an expected deal from them.

Here at Pancake House, you can enjoy their Pancake House version of Nasi Lemak; which is using pancake as the base instead of the famed coconut milk rice. Available at all the Pancake House branch, you can now enjoy this Nasi Lemak dish via an a la carte order or as a set which comes with specially concocted Nasi Lemak Shake.

Serving of the Nasi Lemak Pancake is 2 pieces of pandan flavoured pancake which is sandwiched by pieces of freshly sliced cucumber with their very own concocted sambal offering which has a sweeter undertone.

Packed at the sides are a generous serving of fried anchovies and fried ground nuts with 2 pieces of Pancake House Fried Crispy Chicken and a sunny side up to complete this rendition.

To complement the Nasi Lemak Pancake is the Nasi Lemak Shake; which is another classic concoction that is derived from the Nasi Lemak ingredients. The bottom layer of this shake is a pandan syrup while the upper layer is a blending of coconut milk with crush ground nuts, anchovies and chillies which makes this drink a savoury drink. The drink is then topped with fried anchovies and fried groundnut. 

Diners can order this Nasi Lemak Pancake Set Meal; which comes with a drink of Nasi Lemak Shake for RM 27.90 only. Alternatively, the ala carte Nasi Lemak Pancake by itself is priced at RM 19.90 while the Nasi Lemak Shake is RM12.90.

Another new dish from the Pancake House new menu is the Prawn Aglio Olio (RM19.95). The pasta is cooked with garlic oil with freshly cut chilli padi which infused some spicy taste and serve with 3 Fried Tiger Prawns.

Got Science? is a science show featuring the Funniest Person In The World Mr Harith Iskander as its host. The BBC Got Science? is set to premiere at 8.05pm on 11th September 2018 BBC Earth Channel (Unifi Channel 501).

As many will attest to; the science subject is not one that has created a lot of interest in of late. Many find science subject as too complex and difficult to understand. BBC - British Broadcasting Corporation has decided to instil some fun into the learning of science with the engagement of Mr Harith Iskander as its host for this new GOT SCIENCE? program.

Harith Iskander Funniest Person In The World 2016

What better way to engage the young audience with some fun into the learning of this science subject. Hosted by Mr Harith Iskander, Malaysia's Godfather of comedy and winner of Laugh Factory's "Funniest Person In The World 2016", Got Science? explores and explains the science of everyday life, using reason, logic, rationale and science. The eight-episode series will explore themes of food, health, fitness, sports, anatomy and technology.

The program will be fast-paced and packed with information, debunking myths, decoding trends and technology. Harith threads these stories together in his inimitable light, tongue-in-cheek style through his running commentary and funny one-liners. Popular myths like consuming durians and that alcohol will kill you, and MSG is bad for you are just some of the topics that will be covered in the series.

Ryan Shiotani - Vice President Content Asia BBC Studios

"BBC Earth is home to BBC's world-renowned natural history, science and adventure content. We wanted to do something fast-paced, fun and informative that would be specifically relevant to our audiences in Asia. Got Science? fits the bill. The series explores science around everyday things we see on the Internet to things our mothers told us, like don't' drink alcohol after eating Durian, all told by Harith in his signature comedic style. I am very excited to see people's reaction to the show when it airs on September 11" said Ryan Shiotani, VP, Content, Asia, BBC Studios.

Speaking at the events, Mr Harith Iskander said that " Science was never his favourite subject in school". "So initially I was quite apprehensive when BBC approached me to host Got Science?. I never quite understood the complex scientific theories and formulae the teachers rattled on about in school. I realise now that it wasn't interesting to me because it wasn't relevant to my daily life. Got Science? approaches science in a way that is fresh, fun and accessible. I hope that viewers will enjoy it and have many light bulb moments as I did".

Got Science? will premiere on BBC Earth on Tuesday 11 September 2018 at 8.05pm and will be available on BBC player at the same time.
