An Early Start at NDAT
We woke up incredibly early this morning and headed to the Nasi Dagang Atas Tol (NDAT) 3 outlet at Jalan Hiliran, Kampung Tok Ku — the nearest branch to us. Online reviews warned of long queues, so we made the effort to arrive before 6:30am.
We are still not sure if there is such a thing as a “better” Nasi Dagang, or if it’s simply a case of different styles, each good in its own way. But NDAT certainly held its own.
A Day of Hard Work
The rest of the day was spent at my late Aunty’s house, where we gave her kitchen and downstairs toilet a thorough washing and cleaning. It was tiring but meaningful work.
Afterwards, we headed to a nearby laundromat and had lunch at a café while waiting for the laundry to finish. We didn’t shoot any videos throughout the afternoon — we were simply too knackered. Once everything was sorted, we returned to the hotel and took a long, much needed nap.
The ICT Hunt That Wasn’t
Late in the evening, we made plans with my good old friend Vinodh to have dinner at one of the Ikan Celup Tepung (ICT) stalls in Seberang Takir. Unfortunately, we left the hotel at dusk, picked Vinodh up, and by the time we reached Seberang Takir, most ICT stalls had already closed for the day.
Undeterred, we drove up and down the coast from Seberang Takir to Tok Jembal for about an hour before finally calling it quits and heading back to Kuala Terengganu town.
A Late Night Rescue
Vinodh then suggested his favourite late night hangout — a place that served an excellent version of the local Nasi Minyak. It turned out to be the perfect way to end the evening after a long, exhausting day.
Looking Ahead
Tomorrow will be our fifth and final day, and we hope to make it a productive one. A market hunt is definitely on the cards.
Stay tuned for the final chapter of our Kuala Terengganu journey.
