ANOTHER STORY OF NASI KEBULI.

Have you heard of nasi kebuli before? For those who haven’t, it is actually a special rice dish, which is popular amongst the Malays that originate from Kampung Jeram Landak, a quaint village in the Kuala Lipis district of Pahang. This special dish is popular and can be found within the surroundings of the district of Kuala Lipis itself. Normally it is served during traditional occasions such as weddings, Maulidur Rasul and opening or cleansing of a silat ground. It is also served during the traditional Malay ceremonies such as trimming the first hairs of the baby (Aqiqah), completion of Quran reading (khatam al-Quran) and many other traditional customs.

Indians, Chinese and Arabs are the main influence to the Malay foods and dishes from Pahang. This is due to the traders who came in during the busy Spice Trade Era in the olden days. Such example can be seen when spices such as coriander, cumin seed and such is used in the favorite traditional dish. And the Arabs left behind their cooking trait in foods like the kebab that needs the meats to be marinated. Through all this influence, thus the nasi kebuli is born.


According to the beliefs of old folks, it is vital for the cook to ensure that the ingredients are mixed in the exact proportion and for the cook to stick strictly to the recipe. Most importantly, the cook must be properly dressed in clean and decent attire. This is due to the beliefs that the nasi kebuli will turn out to be tasteless and aroma less. So you can be sure that our cooks are properly dressed and our nasi kebuli is as tasty and rich in aroma as ever. That is our guarantee.

The nasi kebuli is traditionally eaten together with other dishes like beef or chicken rendang, fried chicken, acar timun or nenas pajeri. And it is usually yellow in colour.
