FIRST TIME trying NASI DAGANG atas tol and KEROPOK LEKOR in Losong, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia

[@JetLagWarriors]

Gah!! Who eats nasi dagang without gravy!!🤦🏻‍♀️🤦 Sorry, we screwed this one up. Unfortunately we came at a very busy time and the staff weren’t able to help (we don’t blame them), plus there is the language barrier. So we had to figured it out ourselves (self-served). But we still enjoyed nasi dagang without the curry. Can’t imagine how much better it would be with the gravy! Hopefully there will be time to have a redemption meal before we leave Terengganu. Thanks to everyone who let us know we did it wrong - your comments really help us, so keep them coming!! ✨Follow us on instagram (@jetlagwarriors) for behind the scenes and daily stories instagram.com/jetlagwarriors

@jatlagwarriors ohh it's ok. Don't worry. People have their option to choose the way they like to eat it.😊

[@BaconBitz24]

Needs a do-over :P

[@stockiezen]

No worry. It's just a reason or excuse to go there again. Possibly have 3 bowls of different fishes and gravy?

[@hostiles1]

np. nasi dagang combos ---> nasi dagang + fish gravy + fish (usually ikan tongkol) + cucumber pickles. some prefer light/medium/heavy gravy but me like banjir style lol bcos more uummppphhh...

[@khusnulblekty3874]

let me make wild guess is your wife (female host) indonesian her accent sounds like indonesian or filipino but the way she speak malay its soo indonesian

[@haswanazrimericanhassanmer7224]

You guys need to go back and try it the proper way... Put some 'kuah' on that Nasi dagang... The gravy... Fish curry. You sure will love it!

[@JetLagWarriors]

Romy Hamid haha we asked but all staff was too busy (it was a jam packed restaurant so we don’t blame them), didn’t even pointed at the curry. We had to figured it all out ourselves. and unfortunately noone speak English. But it’s ok. We still enjoyed it without the curry. It was really good already.

[@hanazliabdulhalim8080]

I was told that the rice is special one imported from Thailand. I remember, my first nasi dagang was circa 1989, at Dungun. I was lucky that my first one was the best. That time, no fancy-fancy fried chicken la, daging bakar la... just a simple kari tongkol(tuna)... and I prefer it than nasik lemak as the way its cook/prepared

i love terengganu and kelantan.. im from kl. long time ago working there...hope can go again and eat as uve done.. so fresh and not same here..

[@muhammadnaim8203]

Based on my family recipe, nasi dagang is made by a quarter of glutinous rice and 3 quarter of regular rice. We steamed it until it almost cooked before pour coconut milk on it and let it cook. For the fish, we boil it first for a long time until the water almost dried up, then we cook the gravy, we put the fish and cook it with slow fire for almost a night. If we make the gravy at 9pm, it will be finished at 3am, and we need to stir it occasionally. For the keropok lekor, usually we knead the fish and sago flour with cold water and for the sauce, we cook the chilli paste with palm sugar and some vinegar until it become thicker. I lived in KL before for 3 years, but i cannot enjoy much the food there, so i bought the spices and the basic ingredients when i back to my hometown and i cook nasi dagang during weekend to cure my tastebud craving. Im glad that both of you enjoyed it. Have a nice stay in Terengganu, where nature embraces heritage.

[@apisje700]

Dont forget to boil tuna together with "asam keping" to get rid fishy taste.

[@dianegreig4627]

Good for you both to try all the different foods. That is definitely how you enjoy all of what Malaysia has to offer. Keep safe and healthy.

[@idznimokhtar7317]

oh my goodness u guys make me jealous. i miss nasi dagang & kepok lekor in terengganu .

[@RajeshRavindranathan]

This was traditionally a dish consumed by Malay Fishermen because it could last longer (most original condiments were either preserved, pickled or deep fried to last) and provided much of the nutrition needed for a tough day ahead. Should have got the keropok/kuah with it..yummy! BTW Dagang means trade.

[@Kauntan]

TIL! Thanks!

[@shevagiggsy]

Good short briefed.. Actually Atas Tol is one of Village in Kuala Terengganu.. The one that JetLag enjoyed was at one of their branches. The main stall is located in Kampung Atas Tol just behind the big tree.

[@odie_ozil9773]

Mr Rajesh ni aku duk perati je setiap komen dia..hahaha..terbaik bro. .nasi kerabu pulak??

[@matpauen7650]

Whenever i feel sad and down, i will watch your videos...they really made me smile

[@chiangchengkooi9791]

Nasi dangang Terengganu is a mix of gelatinous rice and normal rice. The fish, usually is tuna, boil first before being cook n the curry. If you are going to Kelantan you should try Kelantan nasi dagang, they use different rice, reddish rice, beside nasi dagang Kelantan you should try nas kerabu too. Peng is borrow word from Fujian/Hokkien Chinese which means ice. So you add the word peng if you want drink with ice. SERUNDING beef or chicken is a must try food, Kelantan are famous for it, but if you are not going to Kelantan try look for them in Terengganu. Serunding can be eaten by itself, with rice or sandwich..

[@JetLagWarriors]

great info!! Thank you

[@chiangchengkooi9791]

JetLag Warriors you are welcome Remember to try Serunding, beef or chicken. They are actually, meat floss, and are usually sell display in a glass jar or plastic package in the market, maybe you can get them in Pasar Payang, Kuala Terengganu. You can ask any Malay, and they will tell you it taste good.

[@AbeNicxs]

Serunding = floss / shredded

[@elishkamal4761]

The rice is steamed twice and coconut milk is added to the rice. Ginger and fenuzeek are added too.

[@zulhalimianuarmuhammad4306]

the peng from teh peng is actually come from the bing word in mandarin means ice.. so it actually mean ice tea or teh ais

[@pingping-vh7is]

Oh no - you missed that big pot of gravy (at 0:40) for the rice ! Nasi dagang is not nasi dagang without the gravy/curry...best is with fish curry 😋😋😋

[@hudahalim18]

Teh Peng or pronounced as teh beng is ice milk tea (or ice teh tarik) the tea was sweet & frothy because they add honey into the tea.. Btw, we never put sambal onto our nasi dagang.. But we will add extra gravy with cili padi & crush the cili padi into the rice for extra 'kick'

[@aiwa9]

So proud of u steve for trying the keropok lekor knowing how u r not fan of fish haha. And i always njoy watching u eat rice with hand haha.

[@chanailay4633]

Nasi Dagang is a mixture of rice and glutinuous rice while Nasi Lemak is just rice cooked in coconut milk. Nasi Lemak has ginger and onions but Nasi Dagang has ginger, fenugreek, onion and sometimes lemongrass. Nasi Dagang, you must eat the fish curry where the fish is simmer for hours to get the texture. Nasi Lemak is just the sambal.

[@norbaizurabintiharun7485]

OMG... Steve start like fish😁. Good job. Proud of you 👍👍👍. Can't wait your next video. 😉

[@wanwif]

Love Nasi Dagang Terengganu.

[@WanderingMunchers]

As a KL native I've always preferred Terengganu's nasi dagang compared to the Kelantan nasi dagang. Anyway in KT it is actually common for patrons queueing up a line at nasi dagang joints. Not just nasi dagang atas tol but other nasi dagang stalls/restaurants as well. Especially the ones that were viraled on line. Couldn't compare both nasi lemak and nasi dagang since it is 2 different dishes on its own. I like both. It's just a matter of where you get your nasi lemak or nasi dagang.

[@MrSafri71]

Kelantan Nasi Kerabu laa..Trengganu Nasi Dagang..

[@chiangchengkooi9791]

As i like pulut, i like the Kelantan redish rice nasi dagang which the pulut texture. However the fish, i like the Terenganu version because the fish come in big chunk.

Dagang means 'trade' ... closer to the meaning of a person leaving his hometown to do trading somewhere else outside his hometown .. probably nasi dagang originated from traders long time ago that came to trengganu to do trading and ate nasi with tuna .. nasi dagang must be eaten with its curry gravy .. which ivana missed it because the curry gravy was served in the big pot and you need to take it yourself .. so if you are going to have nasi dagang again tomorrow please do not forget the gravy in the big pot .. love you guys .. can't wait to view your video tomorrow .. take care and have fun ya !

[@azimahmohamed5417]

The authentic Nasi dagang is eaten with mackerel curry or chicken curry and cucumber pickle. Fried chicken is unusual combo..anyway if you like it then should be no problem

[@byrdworky]

It was a good attempt at the keropok lekor. Even for a local Malaysian, I didn't like it when I first ate it. Somehow it grows on you... I like the deep fried version and it has to be crispy not soggy. Good try guys!

[@mishaplaysmsp6698]

Fish is Boiled hence comes away easily and tasty Try nasi Kandar in Penang from indian Muslim hawkers with loads of gravy

[@msmagnolia1627]

I think what you had was nasi lemak the terengganu kind. Nasi dagang served with fish gravy instead of the sambal. The boiled fish and the cucumber salad served both nasi.

[@ketiyaqbusoq7989]

Oops , your nasi dagang is missing something , THE GRAVY !!

[@chanailay4633]

Kerepok Lekor is made from fish and sagu flour. Fried kerepok Lekor has less fishy smell but the boiled ones have stronger fishy smell. You should try the ikan parang kerepok lekor which is a little white in colour compared to the ones you are eating.

[@ismikhairibn8080]

Most traditional fish is boiled with sugar palm. Dats why it so nice n sweet

It’s okay if you don’t like it. Don’t push yourself. Enjoy your trip and stay safe!

[@epulaa4696]

I'm prefer nasi dagang !!! 👍👍👍 Keropok lekor(losong) terengganu the best. Ping means ice in east of Malaysia.(pahang, terengganu, kelantan/Borneo).

[@kamerarosak]

6:10 It is similar because both teh tarik and teh ais/peng are milk tea. Tarik means "pull" and the act of pulling is what makes the foam. See this guy tarik 0:52. However, if you order teh tarik, they will serve you the hot one. If you want cold, you need to say teh ais/peng.

[@hweesee2886]

If fish is not your thing, go and try nasi Kerabu with grilled chicken, the most famous one is at Fauzi on Jalan Sultan Sulaiman. In fact there are many versions of nasi in Kuala Terengganu. You could have an episode on tasting and comparing nasi lemak (fatty/creamy rice), nasi dagang (merchant rice), nasi minyak (oily rice), nasi kuning (yellow rice), nasi kerabu (blue rice with fresh herbs), nasi kunyit (tumeric rice) and nasi bajet (budget rice). 😋

[@JetLagWarriors]

good idea!!!👍

[@zaki631]

Just love the way you savoured the teh tarik....

[@musafirsolo3620]

you should try nasi lemak pasir panjang..(sik mok woh moh)

[@fbr35]

yeah teh peng that is the same with teh tarik and same meaning, but more bubbly, enjoy!

[@syokbiz]

Tea peng just same ice tea Malaysian version. Peng come from Chinese word beng, means ice.. You know that you can eat nasi dagang with keropok lekor together, that so good..

[@efazura8685]

the curry gravy with chilli is the must when eat nasi dagang..its ok u can try again..glad u taste it

[@dharmaosman184]

KT is my birthplace and my wife is from Selangor. My wife learned how to cook Nasi Dagang from my mom. It was from several attempts until my mom finally gave the thumbs up - tasted exactly as she would do it. Two months later, my mom passed away but the recipe lives on. Due to the fact that not all can stomach fish, my mom's recipe has 2 dishes, beef and fish. If you are in KL, come over. I will get my wife to cook nasi dagang for both of you (not daging) hehehe.

[@KacakManEntertainment]

It's Teh Ais. In Terengganu, the word PENG after a drink name means Cold (drink). That means 'ais'. Milo ais = milo peng. Teh ais = teh peng. Meanwhile in Kelantan, it's almost similar but is BENG. Teh beng, milo beng. Teh tarik normally serve as hot/warm, but sometimes teh tarik also can put ice. It can contain foam and also serve as cold drinks. The one that you drink is an innovation of normal teh tarik ais but with more foam. Kelantan and Terengganu people called it jebok, means foam. You can called it Teh Jebok
