CRAVING FOR NASI DAGANG





I am standing in front of a stall selling Nasi Dagang  I had this craving for this dish yesterday and so made a beeline for the stall when I reached the Ramadhan Bazaar yesterday evening.  I chose the fish curry, vegetables and an egg to go with the Nasi Dagang.  It cost me RM4.  Quite reasonable.

For those who have no idea what Nasi Dagang it, here is a bit of info that I got from Wikipedia:
Nasi dagang is a Malaysian and Southern Thai dish consisting of rice steamed in coconut milk, fish curry and extra ingredients such as fried shaved coconuthard-boiled eggs and vegetable pickles. Nasi Dagang literally means "Trading Rice". It is a well-known breakfast food in the states on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, such as Terengganu and Kelantan and Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat in Southern Thailand. The most famous Nasi dagang of Terengganu comes from Kampung Ladang, an area within the Kuala Terengganu district. Nasi Dagang can also be considered as a festive dish in Kelantan because it is prepared at home for the morning of Eid ul-Fitr, a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, to be eaten as a breakfast before or after the Eid prayers in the mosque.
