 Best Nasi Kandar in Penang
When I look for the Best Nasi Kandar in Penang, I stay away from all the 24-hour nasi kandar stalls that have mushroomed in the past ten years. Instead, I search out the standalone stalls that have been part of the Penang nasi kandar culture for over a century. These are the stalls where you can find authentic Penang nasi kandar, using secret recipes handed down over the generation. None of the 24-hour nasi kandar stalls can compare.
Market Nasi Kandar, best Nasi Kandar in Penang (2 May, 2008)

I have had favourite nasi kandar stalls since I was small, many of them have closed up after its owner ceased business or moved back to India, so finding a good nasi kandar stall has been a long endeavour.
The best Nasi Kandar stall in Penang, in my opinion, is the Market Nasi Kandar, or Nasi Kandar Pasar, located at the Bayan Baru Market. I like this stall because of its great combination of spices, the fish and beef curries which are all very tasty. What makes this nasi kandar so special? Undoubtedly, it's the gravy, or curry. The combination of different curries makes for a special blend when generously dashed to hot white rice.
I usually have a plate with a piece of beef, a fish, a few ladies fingers and half a boiled egg. Truly ho liau! I don't take it too regularly, on account of the cholesterol associated with such meals, but relish having it once in a while.
