The 7 continents are actually representing the 7 types of rice served on a plate. These 7 types of rice are Nasi putih, nasi tomato, nasi lamuni, nasi lemak pandan, nasi hujan panas, nasi kacang and nasi minyak. For the dishes to be eaten with the rice, feel free to choose from the many selections of chicken, beef, seafood and veggies. This is really good, you should try if you happen to be in Penang!
