Nasi Kandar Hameediyah


One of my trainees recommended us to try this Nasi Kandar while we were still in Penang. It is situated somewhere in Jalan Chowrasta along the small street. We managed to spot the place with no fail as it is just next to the main street. There were a lot of people queueing up to get their meals for the day.The Nasi Kandar here is a bit different than the infamous Nasi Kandar Line Clear. There were a variety of meat to choose and not that much seafood compared to the other one.

We at first decided not to choose that much for the dishes as we did not want to be greedy and stuffed ourselves up too much. However we changed our intention when we saw the selection of food. There were grilled lamb, turkey, beef and mutton curry. We were really spoilt with the choices that we ended up took the turkey curry, grilled lamb and some veggie.

The Nasik Kandar here serves the rice and dishes in separate plates which is good as it gave me and my hubby chance to share our meals together. We were not really sure what would the turkey curry taste as we have never tried it before.The first bite of the succulent,soft and tender turkey meat surprised us. The turkey meat was actually taste really good and juicy. I really enjoyed the meat and the curry that I did not even try any vegetable.

Meanwhile my hubby loves the grilled lamb a lot that he ate most of the meat and left the rice unattended. The grilled lamb was really tender and juicy with less fat in it. It was grilled to perfection and almost burn which gave a very distinctive flavour mixed with the herb and the meat. It was a simple grill but the combination of the meat, herbs as well as the way of grilling it had made the dish the most astounding one for the day.

We enjoyed the nasik kandar at this restaurant very much and will definitely come back whenever we have the chance. The people here are very friendly, quick and warm and the food is the top notch Nasik Kandar I have ever had. Voila to Nasik Kandar Hameediyah!
