Terengganu has many variety of food for you to taste. It started from simple snack to cakes and rice. The rice also has many types of dish such as nasi minyak, nasi dagang, nasi kuning, nasi kerabu, nasi beriani etc.
What I am going to tell you is about Nasi Minyak (ghee rice). It is some kinds (sample) of food that can give you the taste of Terengganu. It is tasty, easy to digest and cheap too.
This food is served all day in most restaurants and food stalls in Terengganu by virtue of its demand. It is also served during the wedding reception, feast, or lunch or dinner. In other words, it is a common menu for Terengganu people.
Beef Curry or "Gulai Daging"
The Pickle or "Acar Timun" and "Mango acar" (an option)
The Flavoured Fried Chicken
The Rice (with an option of meat inside)
The overall menu.
This is considered heavy as it has rice (which give carbohydrate), beef and chicken ( which give protein) and the pickles (which give roughage). If you happen to order this food, you just say "Nasi Minyak" then the waiter will prepare for you and serve you with this menu. The price for this set menu varies from stalls to stalls or from place to place. But it should not be more than RM10 per plate per person.
Next, I am going to tell you about dessert that used to be common in Terengganu. This dessert is also served in food courts, feast, dinner, lunch or wedding reception.
The Baked Creme Puff. Made of flour, eggs and custard (filling)
Akok, made of flour,sugar and eggs. Very sweet.
Agar-agar or jelly. Made of jelly, sugar, egg, and pandan leaf (blend to get the juice for colouring)
If you like to taste this food, you can get them in most restaurants. But the desserts may vary. Some of these desserts are not served in the restaurants. You can get this dessert in the markets such as Pasar Kedai Payang, Kuala Terengganu but the quality may differ. Happy travelling.
