McDOnalds in Singapore came up with a Nasi Lemak Burger, just for Singapore, to celebration Singapore's upcoming National Day. Come 9th August, we would be celebrating 52 years of independence.


For those of you who know Nasi Lemak, the whole concept of a Nasi Lemak burger is rather strange. But it worked. There were long queues for this burger and the overall feedback was good. I had it once, just to try.

Nasi Lemak is a Malay fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. While it can be eaten throughout the day, it is most common for breakfast. Nasi in Malay means rice. Lemak in Malay means creamy, or rich.

On a separate note, nothing to do with McDonalds, here is a Chinook helicopter flying by a high-rise HDB (public housing) flat in Singapore, carrying our National Flag. Rehearsing for National Day parade.
