Teratak D’lalapan

One of our favourite makan-makan spots in KK is this roadside eatery introduced by a friend a couple of months ago. Apart from the usual goreng-goreng dishes served at most other restaurants, the out of this world specialty at this restaurant is their Nasi Lalapan.

Nasi Lalapan is an authentic Indonesian dish consisting of a specially prepared beef, chicken or fish dish served with plain rice and a side serving of some extra spicy sambal belacan, deep fried tofu, tempeh and an assortment of fresh vegetables.

Taste wise – the Beef & Chicken Nasi Lalapan here definitely score at least  9 out of 10. Gotta try the fish dish the next time we’re here again – which will be quite soon no doubt.

Teratak D’lalapan is located in Petagas just off  Jalan Lintas – if you’re going towards the KKIA main terminal along Jalan Lintas, the restaurant is on your left about 200m before the traffic lights to the airport.
