Zaman Restaurant - Kuantan, Pahang

We have not been back to the East Coast for some time. With a vengeance, we returned. Deliberately took 4 days of rest in Kuantan after 4 months of Movement Control. A good time to pause, reflect and let the body and soul heal.

Plans were afoot to eat East Coast food as much as we can. On approaching Kuantan, we stop by the famous Zaman Restaurant. Their Nasi Lemak and Nasi Dagang are highly recommended. We got 3 packets of Nasi Lemak to fill our empty tummies. No food since morning and it's now 2pm.

The pyramidal packs were packed tight. On opening, it was layered with banana leaf. Attention was given to enhance the flavour and smell. Their sweet sambal is very appetising. Even the Anchovies were sweet and cooked until almost black. It was certainly not burned. The Nasi can do with more lemak.

At 2pm, the Nasi Dagang has Tongkol Curry as the last dish. The rest were gone. The taste was exciting, spicy and savoury. Just can't find these taste in KL anymore. A full complement of cummin, fennel seeds powder, turmeric, ginger galangal, onions, garlic and what's more....? The fish was cooked till hardened. Likely it was deep-fried before being Adès j to the curry for infusion. The taste was great and appetising. Beware, you may whack another portion of rice with the curry gravy.
