Hi all Steemitians,

After a long sick day, finally im fully recover from illness. Well, today im gonna share about Nasi Kerabu in Turmeric Cafe & Restaurant. This restaurant is located in a hidden corner at Likas Driving Range there which managed by Uncle Garry Recipe.

Turmeric Cafe & Restaurant are serve with "Turmeric Rice" which locally call as Nasi Kunyit - a wild golden ginger which bring to human are healthy and exotic and of course make the foods are more delicious too.

Before i enter to the topic, i would like to share with you some of the malay words that might be helpful when you are coming to Malaysia or Indonesia.

1. Rice - Nasi (na si)
2. Chicken - Ayam (a yam)
3. Beef - Lembu (lem bu)
4. Fish - Ikan (e kan)
5. Prawn - Udang (u dang)
6. Egg - Telur (Te lur)
7. Squid - Sotong (so tong)
8. Ginger - Halia (Ha lia)
9. Turmeric - Kunyit (Kun yit)
10. Drink / Beverage - Minuman (mi nu man)
11. Blue color - Biru (Bi ru)
12. Yellow - Kuning (ku ning)
13. Red - Merah (Meh rah)
    So now, when you combine of "Nasi Biru / Kuning" means Blue / Yellow rice.

Let's go for the restaurant view first.

Dessert part

New menu : Nasi Turmeric Ayam Balado which is similar as ayam penyet, but is boneless chicken.

**Come with the foods that we had order! Are you ready? **
Due to the chicken need freshly to be make, so its took us about 20 minutes and to be serve our dinner. So we are gonna have some snacks first

Kuih Pulut Sambal (made by glutinous rice and some spicy taste + spice sauce)

Kuih Pulut Ubi (made by glutinous rice and yam)

Kuih Pulut Tai Tai (This taste is more likely sweet, abit salty inside the glutinous rice, the above is seems like kaya which made by coconut)

Serve along with Magic Drinks which it was refreshing mix of sparkling water with fruity flavorurs.

• Big portion
• boneless chicken
• chicken meat are juicy
• The sambal sauce are perfectly matching which the taste have abit spicy, sour, sweet which this combination are nice to be eat!
• Due to Nasi Biru sold out, we only able to get Nasi Kuning which is Turmeric Rice only. Nasi Biru actually is a flower name Clitoria ternatea used in cooking it.
