Assignment 4


Nasi Kerabu


The most important food in Malaysia is Nasi Kerabu. Authentic Nasi Kerabu from the Ramadhan Bazaar in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. This rice dish is a regional specialty from Kelantan, and the rice is tinted blue from petals of flowers called bunga telang (clitoria).


The blue rice is then served with a combination of fresh aromatic herbs, or known as ulam, hence the other name for this rice dish Nasi Ulam. The Ulam here consists of local mint, basil, lemongrass, kaffir lime or turmeric leaves, bunga kantan (torch ginger flower buds) etc and is served with raw vegetables (bean sprouts, long beans etc), salted egg, kerisik (grated coconut), tumis (pounded chilli paste), and a good serving of ground black pepper. Nasi Kerabu is one famous in Kelantan.
