This café is believed to be one of the cafés in Johor Bahru that serves traditional Terengganu's cuisines. They are a halal-certified café serving authentic Nasi Dagang and other local delights. We also tried their Kampung Terengganu Café Plentong outlet as they serve the same cuisines.

Jom with me as we uncover their popular Nasi Dagang.  

We ordered their famous Terengganu Nasi Dagang, Nasi Lemak, milk teh, fish keropok, and some of their kuihs.

Absolutely, this shop’s signature is their Nasi Dagang. The taste is certified authentic Malaysian cuisine. The gravy that they used is really savoury. The fish curry is suitable to their rice which was cooked in coconut milk and a fenugreek seeds which gives out a unique flavour and fragrance to the entire dish.

The rice was a bit sweetish which is nice in my palates. The aroma of the dish is strong too which is an ideal combination to the entire meal. You can taste the lemongrass, galangal, chilli paste, and turmeric in that gravy. Every scoop of the rice mixed with the fish curry (their own version) was sensational. It was not salty and the usage of condiments (I believe) was not overdone.

They also added some sort of spicy flavor to it. The spicy level is just enough not to overpower the sensational taste of the Nasi Dagang. Other elements they added in this dish (Nasi Dagang) were their own pickled cucumber and carrots.

For the Nasi Lemak, I would say the chicken was awesome. It was very tasty with some crispy elements (I think other herbs). My tastebuds are enjoying it. The rice was well cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaf that gives a great aroma in every bite I took. This Nasi Lemak for me is a certified authentic one.

Other side dishes/appetizer that we also ordered was keropok which is nice too. It is crispy with a great taste in my palate (referring to the taste of a fish) not much of an MSG (I think). Their kuihs were also great and very satisfying as a finisher to our main meal. It’s not too sweet and not too sticky which makes the texture amazing.

With this experience, I would rate those dish as 10 out of 10 especially their Nasi Dagang. This dish was the first Malaysian cuisine I enjoyed the most when I had the chance to mingle with the community in Kuala Terengganu in 2013.

Absolutely, this place is a recommended one if you are looking for Nasi Dagang in town.
