Nasi berlauk (rice with mixed dishes) is a Kelantanese Malay rice dish, consisting of Siamese white rice, served with a side of coconut turmeric curry known as gulai. This is normally served with a gulai ayam (chicken in coconut turmeric curry) or gulai ikan tongkol (skipjack tuna). The dish is also served with some gulai sayur (vegetables such as long beans and cucumber), sambal belacan, half a boiled egg and a sliver of salted fish. What sets the gulai apart is that its usually fragrant and a bit spicier than other regional gulai.

The nasi berlauk here is served with a choice of chicken, beef, fish, prawn or squid. The rice portion here is just right, where the Siamese rice is drenched in a rich sweet and savoury curry, which Malaysians will call ‘cukup lemak’ simply meaning “rich enough”. The chicken is cooked thoroughly with the flavour really seeping into its flesh, and the vegetables were sweet from the long cooking. A great way to eat nasi berlauk is for the spicy gulai to be drenched all over the rice for you to experience this dish in all its authenticity.
