Kerabu Timun Nanas (Cucumber Pineapple Salad)

Posted by Alana on

There is an amazing Malaysian restaurant in Seattle called Kedai Makan. It’s a bit out of the way, but if you are ever in Seattle it’s worth seeking it out. One of the top 10 meals of my life! My favorite dish was their Kerabu Timun Nanas – a cucumber and pineapple salad with kerisik. I had never heard of kerisik before, but some internet research revealed it’s toasted coconut paste. I couldn’t find it at any of my local Asian markets, but I was able to order it on Amazon, so that I could try my hand at re-creating this incredible dish.
