TERENGGANU DELICACIES

Indulging in the favourite Malaysian pastime of eating out in Terengganu restaurants and hawker stalls conjures up salivating images of the smells and tastes of local delicacies such as Keropok Lekor, Nasi Dagang and Ayam Percik.

KEROPOK LEKOR

Keropok Lekor is a local favourite dish consisting of minced fish combined with sago flour, ice cubes and seasoning, it is then either deep fried or boiled with pandan leafs until it floats and served in slices

.

NASI DAGANG

Nasi Dagang is a speciality rice dish of Terengganu where rice and glutinous rice are cooked together and coconut cream is then added. It can be served with a variety of curry dishes and pickles and again can be purchased at most markets and hawker stalls.

AYAM PERCIK

Ayam Percik Terengganu is one of my personal favourite local dishes in Terengganu and is basically barbecued chicken marinated in a spicy coconut sauce that yields that sweet/hot taste sensation that has me licking my lips at the mere thought of tasting it.
