Thoughts: Sudden crave for East-Coast cooking, Google search reveals a recommendation of early morning Nasi Dagang at SS21's "Capitol Nasi Dagang Kelantan"! Arriving at 8:30am, and MBPJ parking in SS21 already challenging even during the CMCO period. (Noting that the CMCO may be extended at least until end of the year!)

"Capitol Nasi Dagang Kelantan" was originally from 哥打巴魯 Kota Bahru and decided to branch out into 巴生谷 Klang valley, and has now been 7+years in Damansara Utama in one of the shops facing the trunk road of SS21/1, and 2-4 minutes walk from Starling Mall; but the nearest LRT station is maybe the TTDI LRT station which is at least 1km distance. You can also park inside Starling Mall (rm$1/hour) but I think parking for 1 hour or less is still FREE for the Mall parking.

The 東海岸馬來美食 East-Coast Malay cuisine restaurant is owned and operated by a 吉蘭丹華人 Kelantanese Chinese family. Didn't looked at their menu (perhaps next time), but directly just order the 達崗飯 Nasi Dagang which is already available at 8:30am. The restaurant offers 達崗飯 Nasi Dagang, 吉蘭丹藍花飯 Nasi Kerabu, 馬來"婚禮"飯 Nasi Kahwin, 馬來飯 Nasi Berlauk, 椰漿飯 Nasi Lemak, 吉蘭丹"叻叁"叻沙 Laksam Kelantanese Laksa, a swell as a variety of Roti; you may want to make a call to the Restaurant to reserve or check-out if the food item is available on that day of visit!

In the weekends, "Capitol" offers a Thai-style Nasi Kerabu called "泰國青葉飯 Khaw Jam" and only 20 servings per day. The 泰式達崗飯 Thai-style Nasi Kerabu or "Khaw-Jam", something perhaps commonly known by the 吉蘭丹土生華人 Kelantanese Peranakan Chinese is coloured blue rice or dyed blue rice using 蝴蝶豌豆花 butterfly-pea flowers and typically mixed with "Budu" (鳳尾魚醬 anchovies sauce)’, spices, vegetable, 切碎鯖魚 grated/shredded mackerel and coconut. That all sounds to be quite interesting!

達崗飯 Nasi Dagang really does literally means "Trading Rice". It is a National Food Heritage, well-known in the states on the 馬來西亞半島東海岸 East Coast of the Peninsular Malaysia, such as 登嘉樓 Terengganu and 吉蘭丹 Kelantan and 泰國南部 Southern Thailand. The breakfast today, the rm$10.90 "達崗飯 Nasi Dagang (or literally 'Trading Rice')" comes with a really good and large piece of 金槍魚 Ikan Tongkol (Mackarel Tuna) comes with not too spicy and tasty 咖哩 Gulai. The star of the dish is the amazing tasty Gulai for the Kalantanese steamed rice and Mackarel; the sides are simple boiled egg, mixed vegetable of 酸黃瓜和胡蘿蔔 cucumber carrots and a little bit of 桑巴醬 sambal. Personally will not hesitate to come back for this Nasi Dagang in the future.
