TERENGGANU is famous for its instant nasi dagang and keropok lekor — two traditional foods, once sold at roadside stalls or small restaurants as popular breakfast and snack foods among the locals. With a bit more improvement in their ingredients, taste and packaging, nasi dagang and keropok lekor could be on the menu on long haul flights. The success story of nasi dagang and keropok lekor did not come easy. Some industry players are running their operations 18 hours a day, giving a chance for their workers to earn extra income. Those who benefitted from the growing demand for the products include fishermen, fishmongers, sago plantation owners, sago and flour suppliers, packaging suppliers, wholesalers, small enterprises and the warung operators.
