Nasi Dagang Ulik Mayang @ Taman Melati

Of late, I have been having cravings for authentic Malay food, especially from Pantai Timur. From Lipis, while having nasi kerabu for breakfast, friends there recommended, this particular restaurant, Nasi Dagang Ulik Mayang. So over the weekend Sayang and myself went there to cari makan. I ordered Nasi Dagang, its no big deal with this dish, served with a mix of Nasi and Pulut (very fragrant and tasty on its own). It looks just like white rice, but it smelt good. They serve the dish with one side dish , Acar which was not very well done and a bowl of Fish Curry , the texture of the meat was some kind of Tenggiri but it didn't have a strong fishy smell, good.

Sayang pulak ordered Nasi Kerabu, surprisingly it came out white color also. Served with (as the pic above , minus the ayam percik top), Finely Grated Ulam , Telur Masin, Keropok Ikan , White Rice (middle) with Kudu Sauce and Sambal Belacan Sauce over the Ulam. The taste was heavenly.

On top of that we also ordered, One piece of Ayam Percik and Ayam Goreng Kampung Berempah. The Ayam Percik was superb, just like the real stuff you find in Kelantan but the Ayam rempah... not so nicely done. We ordered keropok lekor too. Their tag line is, Secret Recipe of the Patai Timur.

To finish off, this restaurant is quite adequately furnished, good environment which make you feel like you are in a kampung place. No flies were seen flying around which I must say is a big problem for most Malay eateries. Overall its a nice place that serves nice authentic Malay food.
