The ideal way to order a nasi kandar would be first to tell them you would like to have nasi kandar, then choose the type of rice (white or bryiani - not all places have briyani tho) then choose the protein and sides, eg. Fried chicken, black beef (sounds weird but its delicious), squid, then the vegetables, and then ask them for mixed gravy/sauce or kuah campur in Malay (pronounced champur, C is pronounced as CH in Malay). What makes Nasi Kandar special is the mixed gravy, its pretty unique to the region. Hope u guys get another chance to try nasi kandar.

Nasi Kandar is great with Fish Curry esp in Penang, fish eggs, sotong (squid) , beef rendang, or more tender different types of curry chicken. Vege like steamed or chopped ladies fingers, or green veggies and top with Pappadum crackers goes well.

Drop the straw to the bottom and you get a hit of super strong sweet warm choclately goodness, then as you lift the straw higher you can modulate the strength towards an refreshing hit of ice at the top. Try sliding the straw while you suck. Also after it seems like the drink is over, go back ot it a few minutes later after the ice has melted a bit and you get a bonus refreshing icey milky goodness to cleanse your month.

Finally you tried Ice Kacang (ABC)! Actually this is the Penang version of it, that actually has "atap chi" (Atap palm fruit) that is usually pickled with sugar that gives a twist other States of Malaysia don't have. In the 80s the primary school kids even learned the song of Ice-Kacang. 😂 that is how famous it is as a local ice-shaved dessert. I think the one you had is rootbeer with rose syrup. In Perak they usually use gula Melaka + rose syrup as the mix. The look alike but taste slightly different. If you see green ones they are usually cendol. Sometimes comes in bright pink. Ice-Kacang is meant to have it "sloppy" to the point you can even drink the dessert up, just like Ramly burger the famous "sloppy joe". And yes, Asam Laksa (of different types from different states), one of the main ingredient is pineapple. By the way, many Malaysians (probably because of Asam Laksa) actually do not mind the "Hawaian pizza" that is pizza with pineapple on it haha.

The asam mentioned with the drink, Asam is malay language to the dried sour plum added to the blended lime juice. Sometimes asam are also added into umbra. However, Asam in asam laksa is referring to tamarind. The sour taste of the soup is mainly due to tamarind and unripe pineapple.

I don't think people use tamarind in asam laksa, probably just for an added sour taste. the asam in asam laksa refers instead it's asam gelugur or arcinia atroviridis (i asked uncle wiki). it's the main ingredient in making laksa. but idk how people in penang make their laksa, because kedah & perlis laksa use mainly asam gelugur.

Everything looked very interesting. But, the one thing that caught my eye particularly was the assam laksa because it's the only dish of the ones you showcased that I've had. And, it was fairly recent as I ate it for a video that I filmed. And, I couldn't help but compare. Mine was completely different. The broth was only slightly sour; and, it featured tuna. It didn't have pineapple in it but slivers of cucumber. It was fishy; and, that was the dominant flavor. Plus, the noodles were not thick but very thin. Thin rice noodles.

You guys should come to Borneo Island, another part of Malaysia. We have tonnes of nice food and fruits here which can't be found in Peninsula Malaysia. As well more beautiful places to be visited.

As for me..this cendol version looks perfect, compared to the one in KL and Melaka. Cendol should be watery or soupy not creamy.

Nasi kandar place you must try: Hameediyah or Deen Maju. The best protein to go with it is Ayam Bawang (onion chicken) and Daging Hitam (black beef). Must ask for kuah campur, thats what makes it a real nasi kandar. Enjoy!

that nasi kandar looks so sad lol. as someone pointed out, queue up at the food counter - choose your rice - white/biryani - choose whatever u want to eat - proteins, vege, etc - MIX ALL THE GRAVY :D just tell them "kuah/kari campur" (pronounced 'coo-ah/curry chumpur') and get yourself a nice delicious plate of nasi kandar - don't forget the pappadoms

The first thing u did right with the Hokkien Mee or they call it Prawn noodle is to finish the soup at the very end. The correct way to eat the noodle is to scoop the soup and noodle in soup spoon and eat it together. Same goes with Laksa, prawn noodle, curry noodle etc. The broth is the soul of every noodle in Penang food that's why the hawker seller don't serve u extra soup(if u notice). Not many Malaysian know this except Penangite. For Nasi kandar, u can try to tell them 'kuah dulu' means mix all the curry sauce in the rice before u choose any dishes(if u like your rice full of curry flavour then u should give it a try). Wish u guys have a nice trip in Malaysia.

When you have a bowl of curry with or without meat, you do not pour the whole curry on top of the rice. You scoop on the rice as you eat. Same for the meat.

Malaysians food are authentic and traditionally asians. You can tell by its rich flavors and spices that scream hundreds if not thousand of years of traditions. But never underestimate Malaysians fusion foods, which are combined mixes of malays, indian and chinese influences that are not even available outside Malaysia or Singapore. Examples, roti canai and variants, bak kut teh, teh tarik, cendol, laksa, kaya toast, char kuey teow etc are unique to Malaysia.

Hello Usually when we eat nasi kandar you mixed 5 to 7 gravy together with the rice. Not on individual plate. Once you get all the curries on the rice than choose your protein and vegtable. Remember Nasi Kandar the gravy/ curries are mixed atleast 5 types of them . You eat it the wrong way. Pelita is overated. You can go to Hamideeyah or Deen Nasi Kandar. Most famous is Line Clear Nasi Kandar but too pricey. Should also try roti canai Jalan transfer for breakfast
