I strongly cling to the belief that when my mother had me
in her womb she constantly had the kempunan (craving) for Buyong’s 1Nasi
Padang. That’s the only explanation I have for why I cannot resist its dishes
no matter how hard I try. Then my mother had to burst my bubble; she gently
explained that when she was pregnant with me Nasi Padang Istemewa did not yet
exist. Sheesh!
1padang-style rice, a miniature banquet of meats,
fish, vegetables, and spicy sambal (fiery-spicy condiment) eaten with plain
white rice

sure does bring back memories |
Entering the shop the aroma hits you smack in the face, and
in the gut as well. Salivating was a natural bodily function that I fought hard to
keep in check.

and tell me you're not salivating? |
Our dear friend Buyong was not in on this particular day. We sent our warmest regards to his assistant, and began our selection. Brendan had his rice with fried chicken; while Cat and I (as we always do whenever we're in Kuala Terengganu) had the fried fish. To top it off Cat added the squid with some fried bean sprouts for good measure, while I added a fried tofu.

We are never disappointed whenever we come here; the only thing that we've noticed that the price here has increased since the last time we were here (last year). Sign of the times, we guess?
