Teh(Tea) Halia(Ginger) & Teh Masala Chai is a different beverages, not Teh Masala Chai in Malaysia is called Teh Halia... Actually, the real Nasi Kandar is just Plain White with mix of gravy pour into a rice, vegetables & proteins..when you use nasi beriani, is no more called nasi kandar, just normal nasi beriani with vege, protein & gravy.. 😊

[@cynthiaong5987]

Rojak is Fruit salad, ingredients are cuttlefish, guava, papaya, turnip, cucumber, fried flour fitter, peanuts, sugar tamarind sauce, prawn paste, some kangkong vegetables sugar. Or you can try pasembur, India Rojak which is totally different type with peanut sauce.

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for the info! The combination of ingredients is very interesting for us!

Yup various local fruits mix, some culture add fried bean curd, u can add green apples too with rojak sauce, one of the best. U can buy rojak sauce in Asian market n u can do fruit platter at home

[@JayandKarolina]

With some time we actually found Rojak to be very tasty but without any seafood in it - the first one we've ordered was with some sort of squid/fish which Jay wasn't the biggest fan of because he was struggling anyways with the prawn paste 😬😬

[@julietvaz8180]

Agree, fruit platter still the best mixture with rojak sauce

That brown coloured thing you ate in the rojak is cuttlefish. Rojak is a salad in Asia as what Caesar Salad is to western countries.

[@JayandKarolina]

😅😅

[@idzuanazam]

Great to see you guys enjoying Penang like a local! When a Malaysian goes to Penang for holiday, 90% of the itinerary is eating. From breakfast, brunch, lunch, dessert, dinner, supper 😀. Just like any other meals such as pizza and burgers, there are authentic versions and there are less authentic or budget or over the top versions of cendol, nasi kandar etc. The simple shaved ice and soupy cendol is the original and best version. And penang nasi kandar is the benchmark and most original because of its fresh ingredients, authentic and flavorful curries/spices, variety of choices. Northern states of Malaysia have more authentic nasi kandars because of Indian muslims who settled down there many generations ago. But there are many indian or mamak restaurants in KL and all over Malaysia who are actually just selling rice with simple curries and calling them nasi kandar. This is a travesty to me 😅

[@JayandKarolina]

Haha, we could have seen that 😋 There was a lot of people queueing to the best stalls! Yeah, we noticed that as well that it is best to order what is served regionally for the best quality of food!

[@Lim5484]

All delicious food😊

[@natejones5608]

Rojak usually has pineapple, bangkuang/sengkuang (a kind of local turnip), cucumber, possibly green mango, possibly fried dough sticks (cruller). The sauce is sweet soy, belachan (prawn paste), sugar, possibly some chilli and chopped peanuts. There are dishes here that mix up the sweet and saltiness. (A bit like salt to caramel, or even a bit of bacon to desserts.)

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for all the insights! 😀 And when is the best time to eat How? Is it more of a snack or a side dish? A very interesting pairing indeed!

[@akbarohara7998]

Rojak is usually eaten as a snack. Interestingly there are chinese, malay and indian versions of rojak. The one you had was chinese rojak. Malay rojak does not have the crunchy crullers or squid. Mainly fruit and veg. The sauce is similar though. Indian rojak has totally different contents and sauce and can be eaten as a main meal. Penang is famous for the indian rojak, locally called pasembor.

[@bindiyachalfamily8183]

Bro, that’s not line clear nasi Kandar, it’s beside. Hihi. But I’m sure it tasted good too. Line clear been there for ages. We are looking forward for our Penang trip soon. 😍💃. In Kl, ABC food corner nasi Kandar is good too. That’s the only place we satisfy our cravings. And that’s not the original Penang road cendol, that’s the branch. The original one is opposite the police station.

[@JayandKarolina]

We got misled with the sign - however, we got lucky because we've just had some food from them at the Penang airport 😂😂😂 It's such a coincidence that they opened a small branch over here!

[@JayandKarolina]

The Cendol could have been better but on a hot day when it's made with authentic ingredients, it always tastes refreshing and great!

[@ahmadsagaffsheikhothman1644]

Nasi kandar usually consists of white rice, mixed curries, some protein and vege. The one you got is a briyani dish.

[@JayandKarolina]

Yes, you are right! I went for the biryani for more flavour, however, it would have tasted equally good with the white rice I guess!

[@moyyewhon6724]

The black sticky sauce in the rojak is prawn sauce, the seafood in rojak was cured cuttlefish.

The prawn sauce complimented the dish but in our mind the squid just destroyed the rojak for us 😅
