Nasi Lemak is a Malaysian dish consisting on coconut rice, sambal, egg, peanuts and cucumber. This Malaysian dish has quite a number of local varieties depending, where it can be made Malay, Chinese or Indian style, depending on the cook. Basic ingredients make this dish in its simplest form suitable for vegetarians.

What makes this Vegetarian Nasi Lemak quite special is it's catering to a vegetarian diet. Usually, sambas would be made from chilli, onion and belachan, a fermented fish paste, along with anchovies. However, Ganga Cafe has gone a step further by making the sambal from a mushroom base, giving you that consistency you would expect from the anchovy. As mushrooms leave a strong umami flavour, this replacement is what makes this dish. The rice is also served with a choice of vegetarian mutton (made from mushrooms), vegetarian fish (made from egg) or vegetarian chicken (made from soy). You can see why this restaurant was awarded by @TimeoutKL as the vegetarian restaurant of 2017.
