That was where I had my first taste of nasi goreng. It is tempting to categorize this entry under "Singaporean recipes" but nasi goreng more properly belongs to Malaysian and Indonesian cuisines. It is fried rice cooked in much the same way as any Chinese-style fried rice except that the most popular versions of this dish include a little bit of shrimp paste -- belacan (sometimes, belachan) to Malaysians; bagoong to us Filipinos. The desire to cook nasi goreng was a good excuse to buy a bottle of bagoong, something I don't touch because of an allergy to crustaceans. But my allergy is no reason why my husband and kids cannot enjoy this wonderful Southeast Asian dish.]]> http://feastasia.net/food/nasi-goreng/feed/ 2
