Terengganu is currently at the fifth place in statistic chart of the trend of food poisoning cases I inked to ready-to-eat foods. The objectives of the present study were to determine the microbial profiles of Nasi Dagang Gravy of selected local food premises. Gravy samples were purchased over a period of two months from three selected street premises located in Kuala Nerus area, Terengganu. Standards methods were used to determine the Total Plate Count (TPC), Staphylococcus aureus count, Coliform count, Psychrotrophic count, Yeast and Mould count and the presence/absence of presumptive E. coli.
