Ultimate MALAYSIAN STREET FOOD in Penang!! 🇲🇾 5 MUST-EAT Foods in Penang, Malaysia!! · @ 6:20
An extremely popular nasi kandar restaurant with a legendary line — the variety of curries and gravies flooded over rice is happiness on a plate, a must-eat in Penang.
Dishes mentioned
Nasi Kandar with Daging Ham (Black Beef)
The beef is excellent — tender but not fall-apart, with a nice chew and a little fattiness. The gravy is so tasty, rich, and thick, with the aroma of curry leaves. The rice is totally saturated in all those gravies — that flavor is incredible.
Ayam Bawal (Spiced Fried Chicken)
The fried chicken is so tender and juicy — if you squeeze it, juices come out. The skin is the best part, crispy and caked in a spice blend that's a little sweet, with coriander, oniony, shallot, and garlic flavors. Fried perfectly.
Squid Curry
The squid is filled up with curry paste and gravy — almost tastes like chicken, totally saturated in those gravies. Everything is good, but I'd be almost as happy with just the gravies and rice because the flavor is all in those gravies.
Nasi Dalca with Beef Curry
The dal rice has a little spice and dal in it. The beef curry is so tender it completely collapses — it melts in your mouth with fattiness. Even though all the gravies mix, each dish has a distinct flavor.
Fried Prawns
Jumbo tiger prawns coated in a thin layer of masala and fried — huge and meaty. When you lather it in the curry gravy, it's delicious. Maybe a little overcooked, but still really good.
