1.8: Nasi Kandaq, Finally!

OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH NASI KANDAR PENANG.

Kak Dee might have seen our oily, hungry faces and upon meeting us she uttered this two letter words that we had been dying to hear and longed for since the first moment that we arrived here in Penang; “Nasi Kandar?”

We acted all cool and said ‘yes, of course kak Dee if it does not take your time”. However, our insides were screaming with joy!

Well, it was pretty disappointing actually. We mean, the nasi kandar. We expected a mind-blown-out-of-the-earth experience but well, the nasi kandar was..urm,how to say this without offending the Penang people? Well..it was..normal. Yes, normal. It was not NOT tasty. It was just normal. It tasted almost the same like nasi kandar Pelita that we have here in Kuala Lumpur.

Kak Dee told us that nasi kandar that we ate just now was just some usual-you-can-find-everywhere-in-Penang kind of nasi kandar. We should try the legendary Nasi Kandar Line Clear or Nasi Kandar Beratur instead.

That night, we were so determined that we are going to taste the Nasi Kandar Line Clear or at least Nasi Kandar Beratur the next day. However later we knew that those legendary nasi kandar stalls were only open at 10 p.m. Unfortunately, we got curfews to follow as some of our parents instructed us to go back to the penthouse before 10 p.m. You know, things could get worse if you neglected your parents words. Their words are some kind of jinx to us and we believed that, really.

Wait, we want on to rant on this legendry nasi kandar stalls.

HOW COULD THEY START OPENING ONLY AT 10 P.M??

Seriously, they kept saying that Malaysians are obese. Now whose fault are that? So, people only start eating at 10 in the evening? That was simply outrageous. We can totally see from this that Malaysians have a very bad eating habit. Very.
