Nasi lemak
Nasi lemak is a Malay fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. It is commonly found in Malaysia, where it is considered the national dish; it is also the native dish in neighbouring areas with significant Malay populations such as Singapore; Brunei, and Southern Thailand. In Indonesia it can be found in several parts of Sumatra; especially Malay realm of Riau, Riau Islands and Medan. "Nasi lemak" can also be found in the Bangsamoro region of Mindanao prepared by Filipino Moro. It is considered one of the most famous dishes for a Malay-style breakfast. It is not to be confused with "nasi dagang", sold in the Malaysian east coast states of Terengganu and Kelantan (and its kindred region in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat in Thailand and Natuna in Indonesia), although both dishes are often served for breakfast. However, because nasi lemak can be served in a variety of ways, it is often eaten throughout the day.
Pahang Malay people
Traditional Pahang cuisine has a lot of similar features with other Malay cuisine, and features a lot of seafood. From its rivers and lakes come the fresh water fish such as the "patin" (silver catfish). Certain dishes are shared with other Malay groups, like "Singgang", "Tembosa", "Satak" and "Lempeng Nyiur" which also commonly found in Kelantan and Terengganu. While some other regional dishes are prepared in Pahang style like "Ikan Bakar Petai" and "Laksa Pahang". There are also popular foreign dishes prepared with the distinctly Pahang style like "Murtabak Mengkasar" and "Puding Diraja" ('Royal Pudding'), both can be found in Pahang's royal capital, Pekan.
