Peranakan is the term used to refer to the descendants of the 15th - 16th century Chinese immigrants to Nusantara (what is now the Indonesian archipelago, Malaysia, and Singapore).
Nasi lemak is a Malay rice dish consisting of fried anchovy, chicken or beef curry, etc. (See the top picture and check the link above.)
Teh poci is fragrant Javanese jasmine tea served hot with lump sugar in a small clay teapot (called poci). Teh poci is originally from the areas of Tegal, Pemalang, and Pekalongan in the northern coast of Central Java.
The nasi lemak I had was not as good as the one I once tasted in Malaysia, but the the teh poci was as good as I had expected.

That looks extremely yummy! And the teapot is beautiful in it's simplicity
It's so pretty, especially the half-snowball of rice.
As always it's not just the images but the you provide. An education culturally when ever I stop by which now I'm blogging again should be more so.
It looks yummy, complete and varied. It makes me want to taste but unlike you, Eki, I have no reference to compare....
Delicious photos! I'd love to try that food and enjoy some hot tea with it!
