Restoran Jaya, SS5, PJ

Early morning and I met Diha for breakfast before we went for our appointment..

She wanted me to try a place nearby; a place her family go to if they wanted a quick, satisfying kelantanese breakfast.

We ended at Restoran Jaya...

The food spread, though not extensive, looks fresh and inviting..

Diha had some nasi kerabu with chicken..

By the speed she was gobbling it down in gusto, I believe it's good?

I had lontong..

The soup was too sweet for my liking; the nasi impit was a tad under cook, but the sambal sotong's delicious though. More peanut sauce would have been better. Gerai Cek Nor's lontong is definitely way better..

Some pulut pagi

Very sweet like any other kelantanese kuih I guess..Fragrant with gula melaka and very soft. Rather lovely I must say.

We also had roti canai, which I didnt take a picture of..

But let me tell ya, the kuah dhall kari for the roti was fabulous! It's the best I've had in Klang Valley so far, really reminds me of the delicious kuah served in Kelantan/ Terengganu whenever I have roti there..yum yum.

Restoran Jaya is located at 15, Jalan SS 5B/6, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Norra Nasi Kerabu dan Ayam Bakar, Kuala Terengganu

Aaah, yesss.... I am back!

Had a wonderful break at Lang Tengah, I simply adore the beach there...lovely!! It's my second time there but am missing it already :(. Oh well, next year then..

So we left the island and were at Merang.

On the way to Kuala Terengganu, we stopped by Norra Nasi Kerabu, where it's very popular amongst the local..It was packed when we reached.. that was 10:30 am on monday. Wished my monday mornings were like that every week too!

Norra's a very fuss free stall set-up... they only serve nasi kerabu with ayam/ daging bakar.. they do serve other lauk (erm, there were 2 dishes), but patrons tend to ignore those and go straight for nasi kerabu..

I had the nasi kerabu with ayam bakar..The mak cik was very generous with the rice, chopped ulam (raw vegetables) and kerisik (fried shredded coconut). Smothered with their sweet sambal tumis/ budu like sauce, all you need to do is to mix all the ingredients well. The overall flavour was on the sweet side (quite norm in Terengganu and Kelantan), it was very good nonetheless. Every bite was filled with breath taking flavours from fresh ulam and sweet kerisik. And the ayam bakar was simply lip smacking! Well marinated, extremely juicy and with hints of smokey flavour; the ayam bakar complements the nasi kerabu beautifully.

Down the brekkie with a cup of hot teh tarik.....absolute bliss...

All for RM3.50.

I tried asking for the address, all pak cik could tell me was,

Jalan ni, kalau terus, ke Kuantan...bertentangan tu ke Kota Bahru la...

Erm, hope it helps :p

Nasi Kerabu, KL

I'm not someone who usually have nasi kerabu for breakfast as it's not so easy to find nasi kerabu stalls in KL (in the morning). Luckily for me, my colleague Diha tried this stall and assured me that this stall passed her kelantanese taste..hehe

As it's only for take away, please forgive me if the rice looks messy..

The rice was tasty..fluffy with loads of fresh spices and fresh vegetables. I love the taste of the raw vegetables and spices with the nasi. The dessicated coconut together with the really spicy sambal completes the full flavours for the rice.

We had sides of daging bakar which was nice, but to me, the rice could hold on its own. A lovely addition to the rice was the keropok ikan (fish crackers). The stall's crackers was very crunchy had the fishy taste that I really like. Yums.. If you do like to have this nasi kerabu for breakfast, do pop over at the road behind KWSP Jalan Raja Laut. It's the stall with lots of people waiting to be served.
