ALOR SETAR: 'Nasi Lemak Ice-Cream' does sound strange and awkward but Melissa Tan Chia Hui, 25, has succeeded in creating this innovative product - nasi lemak flavoured ice-cream. A nasi lemak lover, Melissa said she came up with the idea to give a new dimension to this traditional Malay dish, which is very much loved by all races in the country. "My aim is to produce something delicious, get people to like it and finally agree that this really is nasi lemak ice-cream," she said. "Although there is no rice served, the main nasi lemak condiments such as peanuts, anchovies, 'sambal', quail eggs and cucumber will be sprinkled over the nasi lemak ice-cream," she told Bernama when met at Diem Cafe at Jalan Penjara, Pekan Cina here. Melissa said lemongrass and coconut milk were used as ingredients for the ice-cream to make it taste just like nasi lemak.
