Throwback to Kuala Terengganu trip #5 Nasi Kerabu is one of the local delicacies that I get to try on this trip. Its a Malaysian cuisine rice dish, where Nasi means rice and Kerabu means raw salad. One of the unique features of this dish is the blue rice, which is naturally coloured by butterfly pea flowers. It is served with protein choices e.g. salted fish, salted egg, grilled meat, or fried chicken. And the topping is a combination of finely-shredded fresh raw vegetables/edible leaves/herbs such as bean sprouts, long beans, cabbages, cucumber slices, daun kesum (Vietnamese mint), and daun kadok (betel leaf). The common condiments used are budu, which is a type of fermented fish sauce and kerisik ikan (coconut fish flakes). Very interesting combination of ingredients, aren't they? All these packed together = savoury, fragrant and appetising dish! Yumsss! 😋 Nasi Kerabu is and has been one of my favourite Malaysian food. My mum loved this dish the most throughout the whole trip! As to my dad, this portion is too little for him. 😂
