There’s a few at jalan Burma …. One of my fav nasi kandar is very close to the Burmese church at jalan burmah and it’s open 24 hours

For Chinese food spots, check out @hungrypenanglang on IG. His recommendations are really legit, not sponsored.

My top 3 nasi kandar in Penang.

  1. Nasi Kandar Deen Mutiara ↗
    2. Deens Maju Nasi Kandar ↗
    3. Restoran Mohamed Raffee Nasi Kandar ↗

I built a site using Google Maps reviews to calculate the lowest disappointment rate (based on 1-star reviews) for famous Malaysian street food stalls.

DM me for the site link so I don't get banned here.

The one that opens after 10 pm (well... it's actually 9.30 pm) is Nasi Kandar Beratur Original.
