"Dropped by this local indigenous people run restaurant for local version of Nasi lemak plus side dishes. Interesting local fruit curry (didn’t ask for the name) and nangka curry. The rendang in Nasi lemak gives a powerful kick, drier version and from slightly different cuts of beef. Different from the rendang in West Malaysia or Singapore. …. And of course can’t miss the signature bidin vegetable from Sarawak!"
