Village House Kopitiam at Casa Tropicana: Snapshot

From Kelantan, Village House is a kopitiam helmed by a family from Malaysia’s north-east, with a focus on authentic rice recipes that range from nasi ayam percik (RM13.90, with a whole flame-grilled chicken leg in coconut sauce) to nasi bungkus Kak Wok (RM8.90, featuring firm, steaming-hot rice packed in paper with small, chopped pieces of fried chicken, pungent sambal chilli sauce and light, sweetish gulai gravy – altogether addictive), as well as great-grain mainstays such as nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, nasi paprik, nasi ulam and nasi lemak. Special thanks to reader Andrew Toh for pointing out this place to us.
