Chomp for Charity!

I'm just spreading the word to promote a good a good effort.

My friend The Digger and his friend are organising the best nasi lemak event this Saturday at the Mont Kiara Equestrian Centre. It's under their Friedchillies Events in aid of Lion's Charity. They also have an inflatable world there, stalls and other hawkers but come for the NASI LEMAK!

CHOMP FOR CHARITY

THE FRIEDCHILLIES NASI LEMAK EVENT 2005

Imagine a plate of piping fragrant rice steamed in coconut. Then couple it with some hot, sweet spicy deep red sambal. The crunch of anchovies and groundnuts fried crisp. The coolness of cucumber when the heat gets too much and the texture of a boiled egg- humble yet so satisfying.

And then imagine the other stuff you can put on top. Nutty squid or succulent fried chicken or cockles in fiery gravy. Rendang cooked for hours over a slow, slow flame.

Now imagine a whole row of stalls serving up some of the best nasi lemak in the country. Let’s face it, Malaysians don’t need any excuses to eat. We drive miles
to find good food, forge through floods and other natural disasters and never be the first to put our forks down.

And now Friedchillies.com are asking you and your appetite to eat for a good cause, right in Klang Valley…

Friedchillies.com, your user-friendly web food guide will be organising the anchor event for the first ever Lion’s Malaysian Hawker Food Festival. And we are bringing back the BEST NASI LEMAK EVENT! It was so popular in our last ChilliBash that every morsel was finished by noon. Never fear, this time we are back bigger and better with extra barrels of rice and supersized drums of sambal- (just kidding- but there will be a ridiculous amount of Nasi Lemak). So far we have 5 stalls and waiting to hear back from a few more.
