Nyonya Style Nasi Kerabu

As they say, never trust pretty photos, right?


Well, I was convinced by the promotional photos. I have been to Kakatoo before and was OK with the Nasi Kerabu back then. Not wowed and not disappointed either.


So why not revisit after all these years?


I ordered the Kopi O (no sugar).


But it tasted faintly sweet >.< but I did not complain.


This was their Nyonya Style Nasi Kerabu.


There is blue tinted rice, fried chicken, satay, keropok, salted duck egg (under the keropok), kerisik (dessicated coconut), raw cabbage (topped with sambal belacan), Nyonya acar, a coconut based sauce and a deep fried ang koo kueh.


I don't want to sound like a fussy (Nyonya) auntie but I was underwhelmed by this nasi kerabu. I might have enjoyed my first experience better.


But this, I liked a lot. 


My late grandmother used to pan fry leftover ang koo kueh and if you have never tried that, you should. It tastes even better fried hah..hah...

Well, I guess I might not come back. Clearly they have their fans since they are still around after all these years. Good for them.


That morning. Very early.


Sound asleep. I wish I could sleep like a cat.


Jia yu!

  2. Good morning 🌞
    Fried ang ku? I have never tried it. I wonder πŸ€” do they sell the fried ang ku one by one. If yes, I could just buy one to try.

  3. Did u say kosong for Kopi o? Kopi o means no milk, it will have sugar. If don't want sugar, have to specify Kopi o kosong.

  5. Hi dear PH, the meme at the end of your post...I say, πŸ™ Amen.
    The chicken leg looks very tasty. I have never heard of, or seen, blue πŸ€” rice...that is until I read this post and looked at your photos.
    Cats are amazing. Just watching a sleeping cat makes me relax. And yes, I wish I could sleep like that as well.
    Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend. 😘
