About Us
Who We Are
Founded in 2018, Peanuts Anchovies is a Sarawakian brand that specialises in crafting authentic and flavourful Nasi Lemak dishes. Our commitment to quality and taste has garnered a loyal customer base who appreciate our focus on delivering traditional Malaysian cuisine.
Our Signature Dishes
Peanuts Anchovies is best known for our signature Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah, which features a tantalising blend of 13 herbs and spices. This dish is loved for its rich and aromatic flavours, as well as our homemade sambal that balances sweetness and spiciness.
Another popular choice is our unique Nasi Lemak Buttermilk, which offers a creamy and decadent buttery sauce that sets it apart from traditional Nasi Lemak dishes. We cook our buttermilk sauce daily to retain the freshness and we recommend our customers to mix it with our sambal for a whole new layer of flavours.
Beyond Nasi Lemak
Located in Kuching and Miri, Sarawak, Peanuts Anchovies offers a diverse menu that extends beyond Nasi Lemak. Guests can enjoy options such as Kaya Butter Toast (Roti Kahwin), French Toast and a variety of local beverages like Teh Tarik and Teh C Peng Special making it an ideal spot for all-day dining.
How It Started
Peanuts Anchovies was founded by Nasi Lemak lovers who couldn’t find their favorite version of Nasi Lemak in eateries around Kuching. Motivated by the idea of sharing their favourite type of Nasi Lemak with the people of Kuching, they decided to open their own Nasi Lemak store. The recipes were inspired by Nasi Lemak eateries from Kuala Lumpur. While planning the menu, they wanted to blend the elements of a kopitiam and a café, to the traditional Nasi Lemak experience.
The sambal, which is paired with the Nasi Lemak sold today, is the result of months of research and recipe development. Additionally, the Ayam Berempah (Spiced Chicken) is meant to be a perfect complement to the Nasi Lemak, which is typically a favourite among Malaysians.
