Nasi Kandar Penang Brunswick
Authentic coconut rice and sambal offer a delicious experience with generous portions. However, the quality of the chicken can be inconsistent, with some receiving dry breast meat instead of crispy thigh, and the amount of anchovies and peanuts sometimes varies.

“Really authentic Malaysian food, we came for the nasi kandar (rice with dishes), nasi lemak ayam (coconut rice with fried chicken), roti canai and had cendol and ais kacang for desert. We live 40 mins away and it's always worth it to come every time - my sensitive tummy is always happy and not upset even when we eat the fried and spiced stuff here.”
