Sad-looking tomato rice

There is this Malay stall that sells breakfast, and I really like their nasi minyak. It is a pre-packed kind, and I find the taste really good, plus they don't skimp on the kuah (gravy). Last week I chose a new type of nasi lemak over the tried-and-tested nasi minyak. Today I wanted to go and get their nasi minyak, but unfortunately they didn't have it, so I took nasi tomato daging instead (my first time seeing it there too).

It was smaller, but it also cost less (RM1.30 versus RM2.50 for the nasi minyak, which is probably double the size). But in all other respects, it lost big time. Here is a photo of the whole (flat) packet:


And a special macro photo for this week's Photo Friday!


The second photo definitely looks better... because it allows you to imagine that there could be more around it. But sadly, the first photo shows all there is to it.

I should take a photo of the nasi minyak next time!

By the way, I really think that I can improve my English more when I write. Like when I was typing "skimp" above, I wondered whether I should use "skimp" or "scrimp". And I looked both words up online. When reading, I usually don't bother checking out the exact meanings of words if I can understand it from the context.
