Nasi Lemuni is a rice dish originating from Malaysia.[3] It's traditionally eaten as a confinement dish as it is believed that vitex trifolia, the herb, can enhance blood flow, balance hormones, and improve one's digestion.[4] It's similar to nasi lemak but it's cooked with an herb known as daun lemuni (English: Vitex trifolia leaves).[5][6]

Sometime people eat it with sambal, fried chicken, anchovies, cucumber, and hard boiled egg. It is suitable to eat during breakfast and lunch.
