There's a story behind this. A few years back ( about 3 years ago), my Mr AB wanted me to cook 'Nasi Daging'. I am familiar with nasi biryani, nasi minyak, nasi hujan panas, but not nasi daging. I search here and there, but couldn't find the right recipe.
So, he described that the rice should have this and that...and voila...I 'created' this recipe. I have improvised here and there. Have been making this lots of times since the last three years.
Anyway, if any of u have ideas to improvise it, pls do.
