In a Threads post, the woman shared that she had stopped by a nasi kerabu stall and ordered lauk lemak bakar, solok lada and garlic to-go.
“Asked to pack grilled coconut gravy dish + solok lada + garlic.
“Saw they had ayam percik gravy, so I asked to pack just the gravy.”

Another wrote, “Coconut milk is expensive, percik gravy must be thick but RM5 is too expensive.”
