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.

Source: BBC Asia - Got Science? Programme

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.

In Malaysia, the BBC Earth channel on Unifi TV (Channel 501). Besides Malaysia, it is also in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, South Kore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

HotPot Kitchen Sunway Pyramid - Latest HotPot Kitchen Branch

Latest HotPot Kitchen Branch - HotPot Kitchen Sunway Pyramid

HotPot Kitchen has just opened for business at Sunway Pyramid. It is the latest HotPot Kitchen branch that serves this fiery dish. For more information you can check out HotPot Kitchen Facebook Page

For those staying around Sunway or Subang area are able to go to HotPot Kitchen Sunway Pyramid to taste these specialities without having to travel all the way to the other branch which is HotPot Kitchen One Utama or HotPot Kitchen Mid Valley.

For fans of HotPot Kitchen; there is no further introduction on how to enjoy this meals. But for those that are not so familiar; HotPot Kitchen is a very straightforward dining experience. You really get to choose only items that you really like to eat - much like a buffet steamboat.

There is only 2 section to choose from. First, you pick up a stainless bowl and head towards the vegetable section. 

here are wide varieties to choose from starting with the green leafy vegetables like spinach, ladies fingers, cabbages and so forth.

or the other vegetable section which includes the smooth tofu, fungus, mushroom, bean curd and many more.

All the vegetables are priced at RM3.99 per 100gm.

Using a different meat bowl, you then select your meat ingredients like the Chicken meat, beef slices or the different type of meatballs.

or for me, my favourite is the pork innards like the intestine (which the Chef will fry to a crisp), pork stomach and so forth. It does really blend with the spicy option. All the meat are priced at RM5.99 per 100 gram.

Finally, you can also choose some premium add-on which includes fish fillet and brown squid.

After your selection of Vegetables and Meat, you move to the counter where the cashier will weigh your selected ingredients. You can also have an add-on of instant noodles to your dish.

The next step is to order your flavours which only has 4 flavours which are the Unique Platter (Non-Spicy option) and the Spicy Option (with 3 level of spiciness namely - Spicy Fragrant, Spicy Dynamic and Spicy Xtreme). 

For me, I am just good with Level 1 Spicy Fragrant level. If you accidentally bite into the Sichuan peppercorns, there is a unique numbing effect on your tongue, I suppose this is one of the reasons why so many people yearn for these HotPot dishes is to experience this effect.

You can order your drinks at this point. Upon confirming your orders you will be given an electronic buzzer that will buzz when your food is ready.

Once in a while, when you crave for some Hot and spicy dish, can head over to the HotPot Kitchen for your douses of Ma Lat (Hot Pot) cravings.

One of the key point at HotPot Kitchen is that all steps are taken to ensure that the foodstuffs & ingredients are selected for its finest quality and freshness and goes thru a sterilization process.

At HotPot Kitchen, many do not realize that they have an ala carte menu where you can order the Ma Lat Chicken Wings.  

or the Arasi La La which has its own distinctly spicy taste.

Don't forget at HotPot Kitchen coffee is Complimentary; it is said that drinking coffee after a HotPot meals serves to relieve the spiciness level in your mouth.
