Served with 5 different curries, Nasi Kandar Salman gives out an ambrosial taste to its patrons. It’s highly recommended for customers to ask for “Kuah Banjir” when purchasing for the maximum experience. Their tagline “Murah, Banyak, Sedap” is perfect as this saucy platter with extra large fried chicken only costs you RM5 and RM1 for every side dish add ons. If you are thinking of visiting Nasi Kandar Salman it’s best to arrive there earlier to avoid the massive lunch crowd.

Featured in The Star Online 2015, Nasi Kandar Kudu Bin Abdul is certainly a winning combination. Their signature dish which is the Nasi Kandar Ayam Sambal Bawang is less than RM10 despite located at a tourist spot. The only downside of Nasi Kandar kubu is having to wait at least 15 minutes on average due to the long queue. If you’re in a haste or rushing this would not be a suitable place for you to satisfy your hunger.

Nasi Kandar Kok Siong is the next best thing for Penangites who crave for Nasi Kandar but can’t travel 300 km up north. Their best selling dishes consist of fried chicken and mutton curry. The eccentric twist of the “kopitiam” like surrounding and the piquancy of the curry gives out an eminence of authentic Penang’s nasi kandar which helps distinguish Nasi Kandar Kok Siong from the rest.

Address: Restoran Kok Siong 47, Jalan Bandar 16,Pusat Bandar Puchong, 47100 Puchong, Selangor

6. Nasi Kandaq Uncle Botak

Topped with 6 kinds of curries for sapid flavour, the gearbox curry is the most special dish served in Nasi Kandaq Uncle Botak. The meat and tendon are cooked until they are soft and tender making it easy for diners to dig in. Their RM6 Nasi Kandar set comes with a variance mix of kuah campur, vege and fried shallots which is worth the money. Other strongly recommended dishes are the flavourful fish and prawn curries that have successfully captured the local’s heart. In total there are more than 10 dishes to choose from so if you’re looking for variety then you should definitely dine here.

Diners in Nasi Kandar Zainul can feel the steam released by the fried chicken hitting their nose when they rip into it as each piece is crispy hot and fragrant from the hot wok. Needless to say, their fried chicken is one of the main reasons why people all over the place crowd over to get a taste of their nasi kandar. It’s safe to say that Nasi Kandar Zainul is the seventh heaven for fried chicken lover. They serve nasi ayam besar but if you’re not a big eater then the RM6 nasi ayam kecil should be of the similar satisfaction as the fried chicken comes in a large portion.

You’d think a nasi kandar restaurant that has been operating for 50 plus years would come with an affordable priced dish but to our dismay it was pretty costly. For a plate of ayam madu and okra at Mohd Yaseen you’d have to pay RM7.70 whereas for a plate of ayam kicap, okra and salted egg costs roughly about RM8.70. Otherwise, If the price point isn’t a problem for you then you’d probably take delight in knowing that the thick, vibrant curries tasted fresh and the portion was quite big.

Address: 351, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Chow Kit, 50300 Kuala Lumpur
Operating Hours: 24 hours

10. Nasi Ganja @ Nasi Dulang Daun Pisang

This restaurant is known for its Nasi Dulang Daun Pisang where they served rice on a tray with banana leaf. But today we’re here for their Nasi Ganja. For only RM7.50, you’d be able to relish in their must try set nasi ganja ayam with their authentic homemade kuah. They also serve nasi ganja lamb shank if you’re a fan of lamb. All in all, this hidden gem should at least be tried once by everyone who’s fond of a more modernized nasi kandar. Lastly, it’s highly advisable to visit this restaurant before 11am to avoid long queues.
