Here's a list of restaurants and private caterers in Australia where you can find Bunga Telang Nasi Kerabu made with all natural Butterfly Pea!
Nasi Kerabu is one of the traditional foods of the Kelantanese Peranakans. These are Chinese immigrants who arrived in the 15th century and married local women, spawning a unique, localised way of life and cuisine. An interesting point to note is that the ethnic Hokkien men married women of Thai origin living in Kelantan at the time – which explains why Kelantanese Peranakan food has a strong Thai influence.
With its captivating colours and beautiful mix of aromatic herbs, Nasi Kerabu is Kelantan’s most visually exciting dish. It used to be known as just a humble, simple kampung fare for folk along the east coast and northern states. In recent decades, it has become highly popular and much sought after in cities in Malaysia and now, in Australia as well!
The word “kerabu” is a common Malay term for Thai-style salads, usually eaten raw. This dish is simply bursting with flavours because it combines the tastes from both the land and the sea. You can taste and feel the freshness of the waters and the warmth of the land in every bite.
Nanyang Malaya Restaurant
Nanyang Tea Club burst into the scene in 2018 with their signature bright blue all natural Butterfly Pea rice called Nasi Kerabu at Dining 3rd Floor, Haymarket Sydney.
It now has 2 other new restaurants called Nanyang Malaya Cafe (photo courtesy of Nan Yang) and Nanyang Malaya Restaurant which serves authentic Malaysian Singaporean cuisine for lunch & dinner) in Marrickville and newly opened in July this year at Macquarie Park, 297 Lane Cove Rd, Macquarie Park NSW 2113.
