PADANG BESAR, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- Visitors to the Keluarga Malaysia Merdeka Carnival@Padang Besar will have the opportunity to enjoy ‘nasi lengat’ prepared by the Padang Besar residents.
Kampung Sena Luar UMNO branch chief Mohd Khir Mahmud said the special dish was prepared by 40 people from Bukit Chabang Selatan, Kokmak, Seri Kesinal, Sena Luar and Felda Mata Ayer Utara UMNO branches who started cooking 1,500 kg of rice since 6.30 am today.
"Nasi lengat is almost the same as ‘nasi kukus’ (steamed rice), but it is easier and faster to prepare. It takes about 40 minutes to cook," he told Bernama when met at the ‘kenduri rakyat’ (people’s feast) programme here.
Other dishes at the carnival included ‘gulai daging batang pisang’, fried chicken and ‘acar’.
The carnival, which started yesterday, will be launched by Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin today.
