Looking at the video, she was served with a standard plate of Nasi Lemak, consisting of fragrant coconut rice, sambal, fried chicken, hard boiled eggs as well as anchovies, peanuts and cucumbers! While the taste and presentation of the dish was very similar to Malaysia, as someone hailing from Kelantan, she expressed how much she misses the food there.
After finishing the meal, Lilisan shared that their total bill came out to be RM619.80, where she and friends have decided to split the bill to help lessen each other’s burden.
