A Morning Mission
There is a long running debate about which Nasi Dagang is the best in Kuala Terengganu. This morning, we set out to see whether there truly is a “better” Nasi Dagang — or if it’s simply a case of different styles, each delicious in its own way.
We woke up incredibly early and headed to the Nasi Dagang Atas Tol (NDAT) Tol 3 outlet at Jalan Hiliran, Kampung Tok Ku — the nearest branch to us. We had read online that long queues form quickly, so we took the initiative to arrive before 6:30am.
Much has been said about NDAT, and we were excited to finally try it for ourselves. The Millennial, after a long night of assignments, decided to give NDAT a miss — to his loss.
The Verdict
We ordered, paid, and sat down to enjoy what we consider the second best Nasi Dagang in all of Terengganu.
We agree with Vinodh’s conclusion:
- NDAT’s gravy is sweeter
- The presentation is more polished
But in terms of authenticity of taste, we still feel that Kak Pah’s gravy holds a slight edge. From what we’ve observed, it seems my generation leans toward Kak Pah, while the younger crowd prefers NDAT.
Perhaps it all boils down to the “sweet tooth” factor.
The Damage
The entire breakfast — including beverages for the both of us (Brendan was still asleep) — came to RM14.00 (≈ USD/EUR3). Very reasonable, especially considering NDAT is now a household name.
Onward With the Day
With breakfast settled, we were ready to continue our mission in Kuala Terengganu.
More updates to come.
