Nasi kukus must be another speciality from the East Coast ‘cos I heard over TV3 that they are serving nasi kukus for Siti Nurhaliza’s wedding banquet. A banquet attended by Sultans and other dignitaries.  Nasi kukus or steam rice is served in banana leaves rice. The rice stall guy twisted the above into a cone and gave me to take my own dishes. WOW, the packet was so hot I couldn’t hold it whilst the rest of the people were so comfy with it.
The rice in their individual containers are freshly steamed until cooked.
The rice with curries. I didn’t manage to take that many photos of the dishes because I wasn’t comfortable snapping away in a crowded lunch place like that. There were at least 20 people queueing up for their lunch.
Here’s the sign of the stall. I thought Sempoi is a loghat Penang? Sempoi means very special.
yummy…really look SEMPOI..hehe
err i cant remember where, but i rememebr this place in KL, chinese food, they serve rice steamed like that la … whats so special, sometimes my mom lazy to cook that many rice, she steamed it also … rice more fluffier …

J – Yeah, it was eating all the time until no place in the stomach ‘cos fruit season now.
alex – I was watching Siti Nurhaliza’s wedding live over TV3 when I wrote this so probably missed mentioning that the curries in KT is different from Penang and I like them.
babe – I have never tried steaming rice before. Must try it one day. What is the water portion like? Same as rice cooker?
earl-ku – Nasi kukus stalls are all over T’ganu. I think it is not so much the rice but those curries accompanying it. They have those chillies paste dishes and those very lemak stuffs.
dragoncity – 🙂
yes it’s the same lilian.
Sempoi now is used by AC Mizal as his tagline in his talkshow on Astro Ria Channel 4. As in AC DI MANA? AC DI SINI… ! SEMPOI….!
