Nasi Kandar - Must try Street Food when in Penang

Penang - Nasi Kandar is an Indian Muslim dish and it originates from Penang.   'Nasi kandar' is defined as boiled white rice placed inside a wooden basket and carried on the shoulder using a pole. The rice is served with a variety of pairing dishes that are usually fried, curried or boiled.   In current times, Indian Muslim no longer ply their food on their shoulders and instead have restaurant and customer queue for hours to savour their dishes

The fragrant rice topped with different curry-based meat or vegetable dishes of your choice. Covered in similar fiery-red orange but the curry for each dish actually did taste different.   The mixture of curry sauces are pour on the rice and this is what makes Nasi Kandar so unique in their taste.
