Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Went here for dinner, ooh, one of the best nasi kandar on Penang Island. The service is good. Ayam bawang is a must-try for sure. The price is reasonable. You can also ask for the curry separately if you don’t want too much, but let’s be honest, nasi kandar is all about the curry, right?! I loved every flavour in the curry."
"The curry suits my taste not too sweet and the spices aren’t too strong. Just a bit disappointed that it’s not as spicy as the last time I had it. The chicken was tasty but not very juicy. The rice portion was really large, even for one person. Next time I’ll ask for half rice instead."
"I had this via nasi kandsr transporter. Ordered rice with bendi, egg, fried chicken and sotong. All was good. The curry balancing was ok but I think I had better taste form other nasi kandar in Penang. Anyway good eat form this place"
"Simple place. The staff will help choose and provide the meal for you as for the drink a staff will come and write it down for you.. everyone's got good drinks but mine (Iced Bandung) taste like a thick water. No flower syrup detected."
"Get the - mutton curry - Omelette - Fried Chicken - Fried fish - squid curry - cabbage vegetables On a decent sized mound of rice with an extremely generous portion of multiple gravies only the man knows what the right proportion is. Never mind the grungy table or the questionable hygiene of the plates. Trust me these guys are so good, even the health inspector eats here, even if deep in his logical mind he may wanna fail these guys. And immerse yourself in the culture of food that Nasi Kandar represents - the migration of cuisine from India and fusion with local ingredients and creating its own unique flavour profile that is second to none."
"Be careful. My food was RM11.30. Sat down and ordered ice water (ais kosong). The guy wrote 5.00 after serving my drink. I saw it was written 5.00 (see my photo), thought is their ‘code word’ or something. After eating, I went to counter and gave the written receipt. The guy at the counter key in 11.30 & 5.00. I asked ‘ais kosong’ 5.00? He checked with the drinks server who said yes ais kosong. Again, I asked ais kosong 5.00? Both of them said oh sorry sorry wrongly wrote. No way it was wrongly written. If I didn’t check or went in a group with many orders, I wouldn’t have known/realized. So be careful & double check your bills P/S: food is always good here 4⭐"
"We arrived at 6.45pm and this place was bustling. Patrons were queuing for food till the service road. Service was quick and had plenty of options. I had the mutton curry, fried chicken livers, and gizzards and omelette. The rice was drenched in all types of curries before serving. The plate looked menacingly messy, but every spoonful was a flavour bomb. The sauces and the dishes complimented each other very well. Wash the food down with a glass of ice lemon tea, and you will not regret it. Overall, it was a pleasant experience."
"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."
