Asli, Geelong

Hey guys! The past two days have been nice, sunny and cooling with gorgeous blue skies making the weather perfect for a day out. Just nice for my 3D2N trip down to Geelong to visit my brother.

I went to Geelong with a friend of mine who is Malaysian and has never been to Geelong before. So it was also a trip to introduce Geelong to us (my friend and I), the "Melbournians" and as you guys may know, Geelong is a waterfront city with beautiful views of the bay. It's a rather quiet city without the crazy traffic in Melbourne and we manage to find an interesting restaurant by the name of Asli serving Malaysian food.

"Asli" means authentic in Malay and I find that the restaurant does live up to its name as the food they have does taste very authentic.

Roti Jala, the word "Jala" means "net" in Malay. Because it looks like a net thus they called it Roti "Jala" that made from flour and served with curry.

I find this Nasi Lemak special and it looks different than the typical Nasi Lemak even in Malaysia. What makes it special is that they serve the dish with green "pandan" rice which is a type of fragrant leaf that is also a natural green colouring when blended. Nasi Lemak is usually served with what you can see above which is anchovies, nuts , cucumbers, eggs , fried chicken and of course the most important which is "sambal" (blended chilli sauce).

Prawn Noodles.

If you have chance to visit Geelong why not go and try this authentic Malaysian cuisine that located behind Market Square in Geelong town.
