Restoran Nurul Islamiah Roti Payang
If you are in Kuala Terengganu and if you want to have freshly baked roti payang (also known as naan) with delicious kari daging cincang (minced beef curry), you should go to Restoran Nurul Islamiah.
The restaurant is open from 4pm till 11pm, so it's a great place for supper and catch up with friends over multiple glasses of teh tarik too.
Here's roti payang biasa (I believe it comes from the word tempayan) with kari daging cincang. My two kiddos have roti payang cheese (similar to cheese naan for us KL people).
If you fancy rice, try their nasi briyani.
'Gerai tepi jalan' that sells breakfast food
My father-in-law bought nasi dagang for breakfast. I have no idea what the gerai is called but if you drive along the road heading towards Kuala Terengganu town, there are quite a number of gerai that sells local breakfast food such as nasi dagang, nasi minyak, laksang, etc.
These are some of our favorite breakfast food - kayu keramat, karipap, and the round balls (I don't know these are called locally).
There are two types of karipap - one with potatoes and another type with minced fish. The round balls are filled with minced fish too.
Biskut Temangan
These Biskut Temangan are definitely my favorite pastry. It's like Tambun Piah but it's flat and super delicious!
So, have you tried any of the above East Coast Malaysian food?
