Nasi Kandar Misai Chowrasta - my favourite hideout


The nasi kandar dished out here is as wholesome , hearty and addictive as the Nasi Ganja in Ipoh .
The more you eat , the higher you get .

However , of late , the stalled market complex construction as well as their competitors , have seemingly muscled them out of the lion's share of customers . Yet , as a regular patron , I tell you , I absolutely love this little nook because 
they've neither skimped on the ingredients nor upped their prices and most of all , the food still tastes as fantastic as always .

What you see now is their new premise . Much smaller than the last causing a lot of their regulars to do takeaways .





Am comforted by the fact that this gentle old man as well as the old male cashier who pairs a crisp long sleeved shirt with a sarong , are both still standing strong , waiting to attend to each and everyone of us . 
They have such easily distinguishable facial features , I think they could be brothers !




In case you don't know how to order , you can follow what I do .
First of all , if there is a queue ( we're early ) , please queue.


Tell him  " Nasi satu " ( one rice )
Followed by " Kuah kasi campur " ( mix the sauces please  )

If you are Chinese , he will hesitate , point towards the beef and ask you
" Daging makan ke tidak ? "
Kindly respond with a yes or a no .

After that allow him to flood your rice with a messy looking sauce mix . Why ? Because this is a science , which these Mamaks specialise in . With calculated measures , he will scoop varying portions of each different variety of sauce , to send you on that " trip "

After that , point at all of the ingredients you wish to pile on .
Prices are very reasonable .
We had 2 types of chicken , 1 beef , 1 sotong , 2 acars , 1 boiled egg , drinks and white rice for less than RM 25 only !



When he noticed me snapping away , he started scooping out something from the tray above .




Will you look at the size of that prawn !
It may be early but some people already whacked all the prawns till there are only 2 left . 



Here's an indication on how to get here .
It's just opposite the Penang Road police station .
Open from evening till late ( 1 am or so ) .
