The branches of Nasi Dagang Atas Tol are few of the most well-known restaurants for Nasi Dagang in Terengganu. There are currently three branches located in Kuala Terengganu, with the first one opened in a place called, well, Atas Tol.
Nasi Dagang Ikan (RM5): The rice here was the best nasi dagang I had so far. Look at the shine from each grain of rice, nicely coated in rich coconut milk and oil! It tasted so buttery and aromatic. The fish and rice combinations don’t look special, but it’s when you tear the fish into flakes and eat it with a spoonful of rice, you’ll get the enjoyment out of it. The curry wasn’t spicy and it’s more towards the sweeter side. Some pickled vegetables help cleansing the taste buds.
Keropok Lekor (RM0.50 per piece): This was the kind of thick keropok lekor with enough airspaces inside that I like. It’s crispy outside and had the right amount of chewiness inside. I like their lekor’s strong taste of fish too!
Teh Ais Buih / Teh Peng Ombak Rindu (regular / sederhana) (RM5): Extra foamy iced pulled tea. I like that the tea wasn’t overly sweet and the aroma was pretty good too. The foam had a slightly sweeter taste and a creamy flavor so it’s enjoyable to ‘eat’ it and not just for show.
I also brought packed Nasi Minyak Gulai Daging (RM6) to Kapas Island for lunch. The colorful Nasi Minyak (oil rice) was tasty too. It had the right amount of oiliness and the right ‘individualistic‘ grain’s texture. The beef curry was superb! The meat was very tender with juicy flesh and soft tendons, and it had a kind of aromatic flavors that made me think if I was actually eating lamb.
