(Singapore) A Malay rice platter consisting of an assortment of meat and vegetable dishes, usually shared among four or five people.
The special thing about Nasi Ambeng is that the fragrant rice and about 7-8 dishes are traditionally served in large trays and eaten in groups of 4-5 people. This becomes sort of a feast culture in the Malay community.
