about Terengganu....


From Mr Wiki :
Terengganu (formerly spelled Trengganu or Tringganu) is a sultanate and constitutive state of federal Malaysia. The state is also known by its Arabic honorific, Darul Iman ("Abode of Faith"). 
The coastal city of Kuala Terengganu which stands at the mouth of the broad Terengganu River is both the state and royal capital as well as the largest city in Terengganu.


Its located in the east coast of Malaysia. Terengganu is famous for its beautiful islands and white sandy beaches. The place where tourists go snorkelling and scuba diving to be amongst the wonderful sea livings.

One of the many highlights would be watching sea turtles coming to shore to lay eggs, from May to September. Writing it down in my bucket list : to witness this nature's intimate encounter and to release hatchlings back to sea...



My last week post was about one of Terengganu's signature dishes; Nasi Dagang.
And this week , I am putting up the fish curry that pair up well with the rice. Lengthy preparation and cooking time, but its worth it.
Leftover sauce/ gravy freezes well too
