Rasa Timur Restaurant

Wan't to try some East Malaysian food..??Here is 1 of the place that you can pay a visit to try the Food.Rasa Timur Restaurant . This restaurant is located at Chulan Square , Kuala Lumpur . Near Pavilion.
Somewhere here





The environment is quite nice here.Quite a relax place for havinng meals. Lets have a look on the food provided there.

Nasi Lemak


I think this is quite common all around Malaysia.

Nasi Minyak


Nasi minyak is quite common too. Not really a original East Malaysia food.

Nasi Kari Ayam


This is also quite common. Buts this really taste nice here.

Nasi Dagang


According to 1 of my friends , this Nasi Dagang is the 1 come from Terengganu. Those i use to eat in Kelantan since i am small is a little bit different. The rice of Nasi Dagang from Kelantan is something red in colours and serve with some "inti". And for Nasi Dagang , it is best serve with fish curry.

Nasi Kerabu


This is something different. An original Kelantan's food. The rice was in blue colour and serve with some uncook vegetable , fish , dried coconut , budu (fish sause) , salted egg and Keropok. Those in Kelantan normally serve with "solok" too.
The Blue colour rise is made from a kind of flower, can't recall whats the name of the flower here. And there is actually 2 type of Nasi Kerabu in Kelantan, Malay Nasi Kerabu and Siam/Chinese Nasi Kerabu. The photo above is the Malay Nasi Kerabu and for Siam/Chinese Nasi Kerabu, we used to call it "Cow Jump" (sound like this from thai name, not really know the actual name) which the rice is green in colour.


Mee Jawa Asli


Asam Laksa



This is also different from Laksa from Kelantan. In Kelantan , we got Laksa and Laksam. And the soup is white in colour which made from fish.



Overall , i would say it's quite nice to have meals here. The price range is somewhere around RM 10 to RM 13 .

Overall Rating : 7.5/10

Some Hong Kong Artist who came here before



Here come the 3 type of Chee Cheong Fun available :

1) Shrimp Chee Cheong Fun


2) Special Chee Cheong Fun


3) Curry Chee Cheong Fun



Its a nice place to stop by and try this food. Quite special and i think we won't have this kind of Chee Cheong Fun in other places. However , they only operate at night. From 7pm to 7am at the other day morning if not mistaken.

Assassin Bugs

Saw assassin bugs in Hutan Lipur Lentang, Port Dickson before. Assassin bugs (Castolus sp.) are killer insects that eat other bugs. They use the long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. Sometimes, when other food isn't available, assassin bugs even eat each other. The legs of some of these bugs are covered in tiny hairs that serve to make them sticky to hold onto their prey while they feed. The saliva is commonly effective at killing substantially larger prey than the bug itself. As nymphs, some species will cover and camouflage themselves with debris, or the remains of dead prey insects. Some species have been known to feed on cockroaches or bedbugs (in the case of the masked hunter) and are regarded in many locations as beneficial. Some people breed them as pets and for insect control.
