Projek Nasi Lemak Box, Esplanade, Penang

If ever you are in Penang, and in need of some good food be sure to go over to Esplanade, where you can find a picturesque little container eatery just  right beside or is it at right at the back of the historical Fort Cornwallis. For, well, it is here, where you can truly indulge your tastebuds to some pretty yummy Lobster Nasi Lemak...

The Influenzas team were there after a hard day work of playing... hahaha... yes, playing can be hard work, and you feel very hungry after playing the whole day and will go in search of food..

So we went to Esplanade and we sure loved what we saw... twinkling fairy lights hung at the ceiling of the shade, a pretty neat black painted container that served as the kitchen dishing out yummy food.. Definitely an insta-worthy place...

Being a curious bunch of friends... we ordered the Lobster Nasi Lemak - RM79.00 , the Giant Squid Nasi Lemak - RM16.90 as well as the Fried Chicken Nasi Lemak- RM10.90 to share, to try it all and of course... for photography purposes..

The Nasi Lemak comes served on a rattan tray, on a banana leaf, with anchovies, pickled cucumber, sambal belacan, peanuts, egg and sambal, and of course, your choice of menu....

The Fried Chicken Nasi Lemak came with a generous piece of chicken, and it was pretty well marinated and fried. It tasted great with the nasi lemak.. which was however not so lemak...

The Giant Squid Nasi Lemak came with a huge cuttlefish served on a different plate... and they will bring you scissors too so you can cut the cuttlefish up however you want..

The Lobster Nasi Lemak  comes served with an average sized lobster which have been lovingly baked with cheese before being served with prettily fragrant blue colored rice cooked with coconut milk and dyed with the butterfly pea flower. ..

The drinks are pretty cool too... We ordered a coconut shake- RM6.50,  green tea - RM6.00, lime and rose syrup - RM3.50 and lemon grass - RM3.50....

Overall, the food is pretty good and comes with a lovely presentation... and the drinks irresistible.. love the place which is just perfectly cosy and gorgeous... however, the pricing might be a bit high, but totally worth it for a personal treat or two or to impress someone...
