Rice

rif and I stumbled upon Capital Nasi Dagang last weekend when we were driving around Damansara Uptown in search of a lunch place. It was close to 3pm and we had just finished running errands and picking up some things for our new home – and most lunch places were…

I’m not that huge a fan of rice, but am always in the mood for a good plate of nasi kandar. I used to patronize the two popular nasi kandar restaurants at Jalan TAR, before making myself a regular at the nasi kandar place in Puchong. While the nasi kandar…
