Nasi tumpang

(Nasi tupe)

Traditionally associated with the region of Kelantan, this flavorful Malaysian dish consists of rice that is layered with various dishes, then wrapped inside a cone-shaped banana leaf. It is typically prepared with thick curries, eggs, cucumbers, and spicy coconut flakes, but modern variations often employ other ingredients and accompaniments.


Although it was initially a staple among fishermen and farmers, nasi tumpang is nowadays usually enjoyed as a hearty breakfast.
