East Coast Road Trip II: Delicious Dagang

According to Lynn, there's this legendary nasi dagang at Kampung Atas Tol ( quite some name eh? ). Due to its popularity, we had to get there really early. Got to Kak Ros Nasi Dagang at around 7:30 AM, but there were no free tables, and a long line had already formed outside ( we were the only Chinese there, something I often notice in KT ). The side of the road was full of parked cars. The drizzle failed to turn people away from the allure of the nasi dagang . There were actually two queues, one for eat-in and the other for take away.

In my opinion, the nasi lemak isn't very impressive and it doesn't have much condiments. The sambal is sweet, which is considered authentic, but not to my liking. And if you like your roti canai from scratch, do come here. From there, it was just a short drive to Kuantan. On the way
