PapparichCertified
halalNo surprise Papparich is so well patronised among locals and those who are looking for a realm of Malaysian delicacies. Among the pride of the kitchen is their Nasi Kunyit with Curry Chicken. The yellow rice sits on a verdant banana leaf, paired with scarlet-red curry chicken, roasted nuts and slices of cucumbers. It’s a platter brimming with colour and flavour. The meat is utterly tender, just slid off the bone and the rice is sticky and plump, just like how authentic Nasi Kunyit should be, downright worth the calories.
