Herman was an office worker before he upped and left for Kelantan to learn the ways of cooking nasi kerabu, a light coconut rice coloured by blue pea flower.
It s not colouring , he reminds us, as he uses the bunga telang for it, with chopped raw herbs and vegetables, spooned over with budu (a fermented anchovies sauce from Kelantan), serunding (roasted grated coconut) and a tangy and refreshing vinegar-ish sambal.
He serves exactly that in this stall, which opened last year.
You can choose to top it with fried chicken or fish, or both, or even solok lada - a fish and grated coconut paste with pepper stuffed in a grilled green chilli.
