Though easy to make and nothing much to look at, nasi lemak is extremely flavourful. It's a very simple but powerful combination- the fluffy fragrant rice together with the nutty salty aroma of the roasted crispy peanut ikan bilis, and of course, that sweet spicy all-important sambal belachan chilli. But do also add the cucumbers for a refreshing contrast to all that richness and spice, and an egg just because everyone likes a fried egg (I'd usually go for runny, but for nasi lemak, I like it fried on both sides to copy my favourite nasi lemak stall).
Note: Just had the famous nasi lemak from Adam Road again recently, and I don't know why I've never noticed that they use basmati rice, which makes for beautiful, separate, light, fluffy grains that balances out the rich coconut milk much better, but I will duly copy from now on.
