“ This is Indian Muslim and looks to be a very popular place. The only drawback is parking, so either take a GRAB or motorcycle. When you order get a little of all the sauces, and then have many choices of eggs: fried, boiled, and salty. Worth a visit and very local. ”
“ The fantastic taste of Nasi kandar i ever taste.. never dissapoint me when i was in Penang, place must to go. It just that the enviroment, can improve to make bigger space and allocate aircond area, due to hot weather in Penang. ”
“ I'm lucky for this time because no long queue during my visit. I try my usual menu for nasi kandar fried chicken, mix gravy, salted egg, lady finder and papadom. Love the hot rice when is serve. For the mix gravy is a pure mamak style but not spicy. Fast service but depends on time and situation. Limited parking space so becareful when u park around this location. Price is reasonable. Overall it's ok for me. ”
“ The only problem is only cash payment. No qr no card or whatsoever. Other than that, good place & food ”
“ This was once my go to nasi kandar place in Penang. I remembered that their mix of curries hit that perfect sweet spot with their punchy aromatics and its well balanced taste combining savoury, sweetness and that appetising tang. Today I was lucky to get a parking spot and the queue was shorter than normal so I decided to have a taste of the nasi kandar again. I ordered mine with ayam goreng, telur bawang, bendi, daging and kambing. Kuah campur is a must and the jockey readily oblige to my request. Immediately I can tell that their curries remained faithful to the taste I had in the yesteryears. The champion here truly lies in its kuah. The ayam goreng here was a little dry but that was how it was prepared all the while. If you enjoy a juicy and tender ayam goreng, this dish may not appeal to you. The daging and kambing both weren't too chewy and the tastes weren't too bad albeit not the best I had. The other areas of improvement are the conditions of the shop. It was rather poorly ventilated and it can get very stuffy dining in. Needless to say you'll reek of nasi kandar as you leave the eatery. Overall I was pleased with the classic nasi kandar tastes that was offered here and while the dishes may not be the best in town, the curries and kuah were great. ”
