We must all agree that the key to cooking lies in the spices. The more complex the spices used, the more delectable the result.

For example, Nasi Gemuk, as mentioned in my earlier story, can be made savory by cooking rice in coconut milk and adding some spices. Transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

It’s the same with Nasi Minyak, which translates to oily rice.
