Someone in Pekanbaru is selling a Tembilahan-style breakfast (Tembilahan is the capital of Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau): nasi merah and pulut serundeng!
The nasi merah here is rice cooked with spices or natural coloring, so it turns slightly reddish. It's served with side dishes that are also red, with a choice of egg or chicken, plus a bit of rice vermicelli and crackers. Nasi merah + chicken is Rp15.000.
As for pulut serundeng, it's glutinous rice cooked until soft and fluffy, served with serundeng (grated coconut cooked dry with spices), then topped with anchovy sambal. It's Rp8.000.
BroSis who want to try it too, feel free to stop by!
