With its vivid colours and medley of aromatic herbs, nasi kerabu is Kelantan’s most visually captivating and exciting dish. In recent decades, it has gone from simple kampung fare for folk along the east coast and northern states to a resplendent dish enjoyed by urbanites around the country.
It is a dish born of the land and sea – you can taste fish and field in every mouthful. The dish is among the traditional foods of the Kelantanese Peranakans – Chinese immigrants who arrived in the 15th century who married local women and spawned a unique, localised way of life and cuisine.
