Nasi lemak, known as one of Malaysia’s most favourite dishes, is a true culinary treasure. This simple yet delicious meal is enjoyed not only throughout Malaysia but also in other countries too.

Anita Noor took to her Facebook to share a series of pictures featuring different versions of Malaysia’s famous dish, nasi lemak.

In an attempt to honour the humble origins of the beloved dish, Anita and her friends took it upon themselves to establish March 2nd as Nasi Lemak Day.

In her post, Anita shared how she and her Malaysian friends, currently residing in Norway, initially proposed declaring March 2nd as Nasi Lemak Day. However, their friends from Sweden and Denmark also decided to join in the celebration.

Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Anita expressed her joy at seeing people from around the world preparing nasi lemak on that day.

Anita shared how the idea came from watching a video of the world’s most expensive nasi lemak, shared by her friend Cassandra on Facebook.

She then commented that the best ones are still the packed nasi lemak sold on the streets, with several friends agreeing. Her friend Normah then suggested having Norway’s Nasi Lemak Day.

Anita added,

“It wasn’t merely for fun but also to remind everyone the humble origins of nasi lemak a simple yet satisfying dish enjoyed by Malaysians and people all over the world and how it now has so many variations to it.”

In the spirit of the celebration, Anita shared how she and her friends dressed in traditional Malay attire like the kebaya and baju Melayu to add to the festivities.

“We made sure to dress in kebaya or baju Melayu to enhance our photo, complete with headscarves and traditional Malay accessories.”

Anita then shared how the story gained interest from various parts of the world, including Bahrain, Switzerland, France, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the USA, the Netherlands, and many other countries, with people from Malaysia also joining the nasi lemak day event.
