Nasi Dagang

Nasi dagang is a Malaysian and Southern Thailand dish fish consisting of rice steamed in coconut milk, fish curry and extra ingredients such as fried shaved coconut (sambal kelapa), Hard boiled egg and vegetable pickles (Jelatah). Nasi Dagang literally means "Trading Rice". It is a well-known breakfast food in the states on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, such as Terengganu and Kelantan and Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat in Southern Thailand.
