The video also shows the various ways nasi lemak is served, including "bungkus"-style.
San Francisco bay area illustrator and game artist Alyssa Winans is the creator of the gorgeous visuals, while the music was composed by multi-instrumentalist Silas Hite. The video was produced by Google program manager Colin Duffy.
Google also put together a short explanation on the delicacy, including its supposed origin
"According to legend, the daughter of a widow named Mak Kuntum accidentally spilled coconut milk into the rice pot. 'What did you cook?' Mak asked and her daughter answered. 'Nasi le, Mak!' (Rice, mother!)," Google explained.
