The highlight dish was Pork Rendang Nasi Kerabu.

The combination of Pork Rendang with Nasi Kerabu was quite surreal and undoubtedly a great match.
That was something I never saw coming. I have always been a fan of the traditional nasi kerabu, having vivid blue rice served with a plethora of accompanying condiments. Furthermore, rendang, both chicken and beef have been my comfort food and these dishes are unmistakably uniquely Malaysian. It is then fitting to have this dish as a special limited edition only available for the coming Merdeka month. Oh did I say I love pork? Never would I have imagined having a pork rendang, this was certainly my first experience.
ANTE's Nasi Kerabu features traditionally prepared blue pea flower rice, surrounded by house pickled acar, salted egg, wok slow cooked sambal, toasted kerisik, four angled beans, long beans and keropok ikan. To make the Pork Rendang, select imported pork shoulder cuts were slow cooked for about 5 hours in a traditional rendang style.
While I am not an expert when it comes to Nasi Kerabu, I can be very picky about my rendangs. I like strong flavoured and bold spicy taste. The Pork Rendang certainly had the dominantly unique rendang traditional signature, but without being overpowering and just at the balance to preserve some of that irresistible pork flavor.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I get hungry myself too looking at them!
DeleteYou're getting really good at these Food Photography. Great images Robin
ReplyDeleteThanks A71, appreciate the kind words
DeleteYour food shots here are absolutely brilliant (as always). Which lens do you prefer for food photography? Have you described what lighting you use for food in any of your blogs? Now the other reason I wanted to comment: I am lucky enough to live just a few hundred metres from one of Melbourne's best Malaysian restaurants. It's always a pleasure to eat there. The name of the restaurant is Kerabu, but until I read your blog I had no idea what it meant or where it came from!
