This Nasi Kuning can be translated as Indonesian Style Yellow Fragrant Rice or Festive Yellow Rice. Why is it called festive? because It’s to be served at Indonesian traditional parties, such as housewarming, welcoming guest. This is also good for anniversaries. In my family, we have a tradition to have this nasi kuning to celebrate our birthdays. Nasi kuning is also served for breakfast in some Indonesian’s areas, such as Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, where it is served with Ikan Bumbu Bali (translated as Fish in Balinese Spice). I don’t recommend to use Bashmati rice to make this nasi kuning.

Nasi kuning balikpapan paling enak lhoo.. beda dgn nasi kuning jawa. Mungkin karena percampuran budaya masakan Jawa dan Banjar. Kalo nasi kuning di kalimantan biasanya pake lauk basah, spt semur daging atau ayam/daging bumbu bali. Kalo di jawa biasanya pake sambel goreng kering, perkedel ama sambel goreng hati.
