Within the modernisation of Kuala Lumpur,
lies a village called Kampung Baru. Visiting the place will make you forget
that you are actually in KL. The only thing that will remind you of it is the
KL skyline. If you are feeling like playing tourist, do stop by Kampung Baru
for delicious bargain Malay delicacies. There is a restaurant called Seafood
Corner that somehow only sells meat most of the time. However, they are known for
serving scrumptious Nasi Kerabu - a not so often seen cuisine. Located along
Jalan Raja Muda Musa, this eatery can be seen packed with customers starting
from 3pm.
You would probably be asking, “Why 3pm?” Well,
we are guessing the delectableness of the delicacies might be the reason behind
it. If you arrive during that time, you can see the workers busy arranging the
buffet with lots of freshly cooked Malay dishes. The crowd will also start to
build up to have their late lunch. Classic local dishes like ayam masak merah,
gulai ikan, kari, rendang, and sayur campur, can also be seen on the displaying
trays alluring you to try them out.
Patrons usually come by just to get their hands on one of the best nasi kerabu in KL. First and for all, the rice is blue! If you are not familiar with the dish, it literally means Rice Salad that is famous among Kelantan folks. However, it is now available at every corner in Malaysia. While some people only use some blue colouring, here at Seafood Corner the rice is coloured by a blue flower and it is served with coconut scrapings, soy sprouts and vegetables. Last but not least, select your choice of meat to complement the delightful and fragrant rice. Simply delicious! In case you are craving for a good and authentic Nasi Kerabu, you know now where to head to.
