Nasi Kandar Pelita, Chai Leng Park Branch, Prai, Penang.

Now it's time for me to review the famous Pelita Nasi Kandar original outlet in Chai Leng Park, Prai, Penang.

I have been frequenting this outlet since 1996.

To me, this outlet is the best among all Pelita's branches.

The 1st outlet of Pelita Nasi Kandar, Chai Leng Park, Prai, Penang.

Don't forget to reduce the rice portion. The new worker fresh from Tamil Nadu tend to scope a big portion of rice matching to their standard of portion back home. The fried fish coated with special herbs was nicely done, crispy and fresh. Fried cabbage South Indian style. The most important; mix gravy ('kuah campur')

Chicken Tandoori Set. Just the right taste, soft bread, tender and juicy chicken. This was the best Tandoori Set among all Pelita's branches.

Another temptation, nasi kandar, fish curry with okra @ ladyfinger and mixed gravy.

If you want to tone down the spicy food, don't forget to order fresh lemonade.

Canned Lychee drink just incase you love something sweeter.

This branch will be fully packed during lunch time due to nearby industrial area, offices and business premises. Nearest landmarks are Pearl View Hotel, Prai Megamall and Sony Sports Center.

Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu; Still the Best Nasi Kandar in Penang

First of all, I would like to clarify one thing, I am not Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu shareholder.

Hahaha, somebody suspected because my wife is originally from Kampung Melayu.

My review was purely based on the taste.

Actually this is my 2nd review, see my 1st review here,but this time I went to their branch which serves dinner.

It is located in Food Court, Jalan Thein Teik. (Blue Apartment)

The main branch located in Flats Kampung Melayu, close after lunch time.

Like I said before, I have tried all nasi kandar in Penang, whether restaurants or foodstalls.

But for 24 years of eating nasi kandar, I still prefer this one.

Ayer Itam view from Kek Lok Si Temple.

Not many people lining up at dinner time. If it is lunch time, you will see longer line and bigger crowd.

No words can describe.. Deliciousness make me speechless. Imagine the mild spiced 'flooded' gravy penetrating your ever wanting mouth. Tenderness of the squid,  simply the best!!

Don't worry to put more gravy, it is not too spicy. Make sure you have them mix all around. The secret of making your nasi kandar more delicious is to mix the correct gravy with your main meat/seafood. Different type of meat/seafood with different set of gravy. Adding a little bit by a little bit of your curry can only be mix by the expert hand of the man in-charged. Just trust the man, okay!

Those who are not familiar with the location, can refer to the above map or you can always google on your own.

I have heard so many opinions by bloggers of the so call mainstream big shot Nasi Kandar Restaurants, where they claim the best in Penang. Wait until you try this one. Kampung Melayu Nasi Kandar is not big, they only have two branches. They are not big chain restaurant, but their taste and delicousness has beat the rest of the bigger players. Don't just buy my words, go try it yourself.
