My brother’s @adamdidam version of Tomyum Fried Rice or Nasi Goreng Tomyam 😍
Several years ago, on a beautiful evening in Istanbul, I shared the most delicious Nasi Goreng Tomyam with my brother. I had an invitation to speak at a university there, so I flew to Istanbul straight from England. Adam was on his annual leave from Petronas and wanted to join me. He flew all the way from Malaysia along with Mummy, and the three of us met in Istanbul.
Mummy cooked Nasi Goreng Tomyam at home and brought it along with her. And on that first evening in Istanbul, the three of us shared the super special fried rice together! Mummy had it in a bowl, while Adam and I ate from the same container! As we were eating, I saw a big juicy prawn. I knew it’s Adam’s favourite! I tried to avoid eye contact with him, but oh well, I just couldn’t help it. When I turned to him, he gave me that adorable look like Puss in Boots in Shrek! Okayyy...I gave the prawn to him. He quickly took it and cut the prawn in two. He took half, and (not to my surprise) he put the other half on my spoon. My irreplaceable brother...
That evening, Adam and I had the best Nasi Goreng Tomyam in the world! And today, many many evenings later, I still can feel the moment. The juiciness of the prawn. The spicy and sour flavour of the fried rice. The aromatic smell of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal. SubhanAllah! My brother and I have shared so many beautiful memories together, and this one is my favourites ♥️
