KUCHING (Nov 27): Pak Agus Indonesian Restaurant at ICom Square yesterday had introduced two new items to their menu; Ayam Emas and Nasi Bakar that ought to be sampled by every food lover.
The items are currently only available at their iCom Square outlet.
The Nasi Bakar set comes with a choice of chicken, fish or squid priced at RM15 per person. The set includes a complimentary ‘Teh Botol’ (bottled tea) beverage with a variety of flavours to choose from.
The Nasi Bakar refers to steamed rice seasoned with spices and herbs that is wrapped in a banana leaf which is later grilled on charcoal fire. The burnt banana leaf gives the rice a unique aroma.
Meanwhile the Ayam Emas dish is a special recipe of fried chicken offered at RM10 per set.
The restaurant managing director Sam Chai said his idea of Nasi Bakar was conceived during his visit to a ‘Teh Botol’ factory in Jakarta where he was brought to have lunch at one of the local eateries.
“This is something different from Nasi Lemak and Nasi Kandar. Perhaps, after this we will introduce the Nasi Padang and Nasi Bakar at our Matang branch,” he said.
Pak Agus Indonesian Restaurant outlet at iCom Square also serves Nasi Padang daily from 5pm to 10pm.
‘Nasi Padang’ originates from West Sumatra in Indonesia and is a Minangkabau dish of steamed rice served with a variety of pre-cooked dishes of meat, fish, vegetable, curries and ‘sambal’.
