Normally we woke up 4am to do preparations for breakfast, so it remain fresh and warm, as well to do our obligation and morning prayer. That part of life. Some even woke up earlier if the food centre is quite a distant.
i drove all the way from pahang just to eat this Nasi Dagang in Terengganu.. start my journey at 4am and arrived there after 4 hrs.. get back to pahang afterwards 😁
Nasi Dagang is a mixture of normal rice and sticky (glutinous) rice added with fenugreek and boiled in coconut milk. The sausage like thing you ate was keropok lekor. Keropok means crackers. It is made of mixture of flours with a generous portion of fish paste. The taste is depending on how and who prepared it and the type of fish used.
A long queue always indicates that food sold will be yummy. Yeah, "nasi dagang" is a specialty in Terengganu though it can still be found in other parts of Malaysia. Haha...most Malaysians eat rice as breakfast but l"m like Mike, don't like my breakfast to be heavy. I prefer bread/buns/toast. The greyish stuff/snack is known as "keropok lekor" which is made from fish and tapioca flour. It's my favourite too 😄 Good review of the food and drinks by you both. Have a wonderful weekend, Mike and Gigi.
The terengganu people love fish so much cos they are rich in omega. Some said that's why the terengganu people are clever. May be you can visit a boat making place not far from there. It's a well known boat industry. May be you should try visiting it
Kuala Terengganu is one of the most beautiful city in Malaysia besides George Town, Kota Kinabalu city, Malacca city, and Johor Bahru city regardkless Kuala Lumpur city. Kuala Terengganu has beautiful landscapes especially its beaches, natural lagoons and beautiful islands. Kuala Terengganu city is a small city compared to Kuantan city and Kota Bahru city in the East Coast. Kuala Terengganu has also islands surrounding the city. About nasi dagang, you can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner like nasi lemak but not nasi kerabu. You have to find out the good keropok lekor
Err I wouldn't say Kuala Terengganu is one of the most beautiful city (one of the most beautiful district true), parts of the city yes but wholly, I have to be transparent, it doesn't really have much to offer. Different story to the islands in Terengganu, this I can totally say one of the most pictuce perfect places to be ✌️ this is just my two cents of thought for living here a couple dozen of years
The appetizer you mentioned is call keropok lekor goreng (fried). There is steam version of it too. And you are in Terengganu the place with the best keropok in the whole of Malaysia! Of course it tastes amazing! Please go explore more on keropok lekor you will be amaze by it! They often sell at the roadside some still traditionally made with hands and some with machines. I'm from Kuantan and my mum use to buy a whole big load of them to bring back home from there. We prefer steam as it is healthier. Can get addicted once use to the taste.. Can even end up eating steam keropok for lunch. Another keropok is the thin type that fries to crispy. You can find them there too. Do try them! Nasi dagang famous in Terengganu too.. Glad u love it!
Nasi Dagang Atas Tol is very commercialized and super well known 😁 welp there are many places in Terengganu serve super delicious nasi dagang, the locals would know where and till what time it'd be available ✌️this is how nasi dagang should be, the gravy/kuah shouldn't be yellow ish and it doesn't come with sambal lada/belacan or such. And yea keropok lekor goreng/rebus, you can't really get the fresh original texture and taste outside Terengganu 😎
Super interesting video..Trengganu & Kelantan r my most fav states 'cos they r different frm Sarawak & Sabah & the other peninsula states..& culturally very artistic..as attested in the filigree silver..& beautiful batiks..& the lovingly prepared colorful foods & drinks! Thanksss a heap for a super video. Btw, ATAS is atop, above, over..never under!! U may even say "Video ini atas super!"
D Malay food culture has so many rice dishes, nasi lemak, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, nasi ulam, nasi tomato, nasi minyak, nasi biryani, nasi ayam, nasi kukus, nasi goreng, nasi campur etc. Which is your fav?
Nasi dagang is one of my all time fav, it's so delicious, aromatics with a lovely fragrant n taste. D rice that is steamed with coconut milk, fenugreek, shredded shallots n ginger, screwpine leaf n a tiny pinch of salt is really wonderful.
Rice in the morning breakfast, it's farmers food who works hard in the field or any other job that requires more energy. White collar's go for light break fast or heavy bf weekly affair. But now it's normal scenes ☺️ ask for no sugar in ur drinks east coast more sweeter than west coast
9:54 - Usually the people of Kelantan and Terengganu will have breakfast with heavy food such as nasi dagang or others. For certain people in other states, usually they will have breakfast with nasi lemak, roti canai, roti bakar or at least various types of traditional cakes ( we call it in Malay language is "kuih" )
near in my house..Nasi Dagang means Travel Rice ..A long time ago..this recipe make for husband work as fisherman at open sea..steam glutinous rice with coconut milk +herb and fish gravy wrap with banana leaf to avoid food stale as for lunch.
@@MrSmile-um5yt ..in malay language dagang have multi meaning..dagang also mean kembara..or traveller from other country.. suit with malay pantun..dagang pak malau dagang bertempat, dagang hamba musafir lalu.. Definition: people who come from other countries, people who come from abroad, not natives; (Dewan Dictionary Fourth Edition) Definisi : orang yg datang dr negeri lain, orang yg datang merantau, bukan anak negeri; (Kamus Dewan Edisi Keempat)
We eat rice with spoon/hand. Your husband is very nice guy hhkk. Im from Kuala Terengganu. Fyi nasi lemak in my home town is difference compare in kuala lumpur.
wow u eat the nasi dagang...awesome!!! How u think about breakfast menu of nasi dagang and the the tarik...it's a habit for us as a local people early in the morning to have breakfast with such a menu...while u are here,i suggest u go to island in the Terengganu region such as kapas island and Redang island to enjoy the beauty of beathing with turtles and corals...i hope u enjoy your vacation...👍👍👍
Another superb video from you guys. Wow, I like eating keropok lekor too. I would not mind having rice or bread as my breakfast. Glad you like the nasi dagang, keropok lekor. Cheers !
Good background music you chose to describe the atmosphere of Malaysia.. This is second video from this channel that i watching and comment... The music / song is usually played at Malay weddings. 😀👍🏻 I'm from Melaka. ☕
Gigi you just use your fork to push your food onto the spoon sideways..much easier than scooping the rice using the fork onto the spoon. Keropok lekor originates from Trengganu. You should go to a factory that processes keropok lekor and see how they make them. Ask your friend the Ganu girls from America i think their dad should know where.
As a young Terengganu boy our family normally have nasi dagang for breakfast and keropok lekor fish cake for afternoon tea with some kuih. Living abroad I am missing those days. Terengganu and Kelantan are the sweet tooth states of Malaysia. Everything we cook will have higher sugar content comparatively to other states. Along with full course rice dish our older generation were fishermen and needed high energy for the long day in the seas. The excess fish that we caught will be turned into food products so that it won’t spoil or go to waste so that’s how dishes like keropok lekor, keropok keping ( fish crackers) dried seafood and other delicacies came about.
Hi Mike and Gigi...I myself as Malaysia has never try nasi dagang as well.Hope I can try one day.Thanks for yummy2 video.Just love it and keep it up.Cheers.
Woahhh!! Too early for me to have 🍚🍚 though 😆 but will have it for lunch or dins. @5:57 you're definitely a nice husband! 😅 Now, you guys are making us drool... We'll be there before month end after our shoots 🎬🎥🎞️ to savour the delish food!! 😋🤤 Hope to see you guys there with @pingachorage !🥳📸
Orang Tranung here.I love Nasi Dang ofc it goes without saying but I’m with Mike.I prefer something light for breakfast,a piece of bread or kueh maybe. However for lunch,I can and will eat a full plate of Nasi Dagang or 2, without any problems lol
I never like nasi dagang. But it is me thing that don't like fish curry in general, something that regularly be eaten with nasi dagang. Keropok lekor is a fish chip (and a little bit like fish cake). It is signature thing for Terengganu and I like it. Generally people like it as deep fried, a thin one can be crispy compare to what you ate. I would love the boiled version, it is a bit hard to find as not much love the strong fishy taste from it. Teh tarik madu (milk tea with honey), it is too sweet for my tongue too, but who did not like teh tarik?
just eat the way you like usually... with hand, with a fork or spoon. but if you want to experienced local way, use hand, or eat rice with spoon. I think I know whose hand is at the end of the video... steve?
Pls Mike...dont bully GG...she is always sweet n amiable...eating up what u had bitten off first, swapping what you dont like etc.etc. GG is so patient with Mike's antics ...So Mike...remember to put GG's interests first some of the time....
1:55 Doesn't sound like a prayer to me, but more like a ceramah agama, or in English it's religious talk/lecture. Usually some mosque would hold this talk/lecture after the pray time. And yes, eating rice using spoon is much easier than using fork. More practical. You don't use pitchfork to shovel up dirt, right? Same concept. Eating rice using fork is similar like eating pasta using spoon. 🤣🤣🤣 Atas Tol literally translate as Above Toll.

@Dodo Explorers ; Depending whare you are, most Asians will have a humongous choices/verities for breakfast.. especially in 🇲🇾.. breads (continental), roti, chapati, purata, dosa, idli, porage, rice, noodles, soups, salads (rojaks).. etc etc etc.. 😜 Which also could be repeated for dinner.. 😅
