ND Nasi Kandar.

Was Nasi Kandar created in Penang?  Originally is was sold by sellers who use sticks to carry baskets of food all around town, so actually Nasi Kandar stand for carried rice........ so the story goes ........

What ever the story goes, Nasi Kandar is a "Addictive" dish of rice with curry, for most the rice must be flooded with curry and let it "soak" in to impart flavor. So Tapau or to Pack will be a good option.

Some Nasi Kandar stalls have a following,  the Famous Line Clear Nasi Kandar (lane at Penang Road) is one of them, and the Nasi Kandar Beratur (meaning line up)next to the Masjid Kapitan Keling,  which open late at night (11pm) is another one.  Please note,  you do have to line up, may be up to a hour or more.

Well what about the folks in Butterworth?  Well they also have a Nasi Kandar Beratur as well, which also opens 11pm,  Its call Nasi Kandar Pokok Kepetang ....   So would you fancy lining up for at least 30 min?  Not Me.  So I get my "fix" at another nasi kandar just a few feet away.



ND Nasi Kandar opens earlier at around 7pm,  Located just beside OUB Bank or opposite TM Point Building, its has a Open Air Stall ambiance,  with table and chairs along OUB walk way, and roadside car park.  Drive along Jalan Bagan Luar till after the Padang and when you see OUB bank turn in.

Food Choices are as normal, and the food is at par with other stalls, and you don't have to wait much ......  

Oh yes. for those who won't mind waiting,  Nasi Kandar Pokok Kepetang is at the same location,  opens at 11pm.
