Tried Nasi Dagang at a shop called Nyonya Colors a few days ago. Apparently, Nasi dagang is a well-known Malaysian breakfast dish in East Coast. It usually consists of rice steamed in coconut milk, fish/chicken curry and side vege dish such as pickled cucumber and carrots. The one I ordered was a bit special because the rice is wrapped in a leaf and it comes with a flavorful, aromatic, thick curry chicken gravy which elevated the whole dish. 😋 My newly discovered favourite is the keropok (chips/crackers) in this dish, called Emping. Upon googling it, I found out that it is a type of Indonesian snack that is made of melinjo or belinjo nuts. It has a minimal saltiness and uniquely comes with a slightly bitter taste too. I like the Emping because it is not too overwhelming with seasonings. It is quite "plain" yet it is addictive. Both saltiness and bitterness have a good balance and I can snack on many pieces without feeling "jelak". (In English, jelak meaning you're sick/had enough of a particular taste, especially that is too rich in flavour 😂).

Emping... Yes! I don't usually snack but i can snack this. I found out during my teens time when my relatives gave us. Since then, my family all addicted to it. I have a pack in kitchen, haven't fried.
Yes yes, i don't usually snack, but i think i can snack on this too! It's my first time trying this and I only got to know the name "Emping" when i wrote this post. 😂 Didn't notice shops sell Emping. U bought it from supermarket?
The keropok that haven't fried i bought from Penang. And the ready made one I bought from Aeon Setiawangsa or Sri rampai biscuits shop. Veryyyyy addictive.
