Famous Nasi Tomato at Batu Lancang Flats (Opposite Batu Lancang Market)

Supper starts what time?

10pm? 11pm? After 12am?

Well, if you plan to try this famous nasi tomato, your supper must start at 11pm. For us, it was at 11pm or maybe slightly after that we went to this place he has been bugging her to try. 

Curry left an hour later before they top it up!

1 piece of daging (beef) and 1 piece of sotong (cuttlefish)

He says: The nasi tomato plus the curry is the THING! It's a must must try peeps! The daging is tender but the cuttlefish was a bit hard.

She says: The gravy is TWO THUMBS UP! It's not like nasi kandar style. It's like Malay style curry. IT'S SERIOUSLY GOOOOD! The daging is pretty nice and soft, cuttlefish quite chewy but alright la.

1 piece of fried chicken

He says: Do not miss this one =)

She says: Not a bad fried chicken.

Nasi Minyak aka Nasi Ganja at Kampung Bengkali, Butterworth

Penang people will travel for food. Doesn't matter near or far. Penang people sure WILL travel for food! Or at least we know we will la! Hahaha.

The thing for this is that it's not that far. Just across the Penang Bridge. Very near what. He went there once and ever since then, he kept talking about it and insist that she has got to try it out! So, one night, we decided to hop onto a car, get some of our buddies and off we went for a food adventure overseas. Yeah, over THE sea. Hahaha.

She: Can I just say that, when I was on the way there, my expectation was very high because of all the emotions he used while describing it to me. And he also said that a lot of people line up for it. Like A LOT! But when we got there, there were like probably only 5 humans. Hahaha. But of course after that, there were close to 30 people lining up, under the drizzle. Amazing stuff.

He says: This thing is the special thing here. Aromatic, sticky and tasty!

She says: From quite a distance, sudah boleh smell the aroma la! Super thumbs up! I could just eat this with curry on top.

Our nasi minyak.

 He says: Look at that! Howww tasty looking it is. hahaha. The 'kerang'/'ham' is fulamak! The curry chicken is tender. The omelette and vegetable is just so so though. On top of all that, a mixture of curry which is so rich in flavour. Gah. I wanna go again ASAP!
She says: The mixture of all the curry blends in just nicely. The aroma of it is just finger licking good la. No kidding! The rice and curry goes well together! A definitely must try for everyone! :D

Nasi Minyak aka Nasi Ganja at Kampung Bengkali, Butterworth

Direction: Hmmm.. Butterworth. It is very hard to explain. So, refer to the location on Google map below. If you're going from Penang, it is easier if you go through the ferry though as it is very easy from there. If you use the bridge then prepare to pay some extra toll charges. Not much though =)

Price: Quite expensive

Nasi Beratur at Kapitan Keling, Penang

Midnight makan always somehow happens around mamak or nasi kandar. I have no idea why. I mean, sure there are people who will eat at Green House or some other coffeeshops that open till the wee hours. But in the end, Penang people will still settle for nasi kandar or roti canai. SOMEHOW!

And this time, she wasn't gonna just go to any mamak/nasi kandar place to eat. She had already planned one day earlier to go for the ever-famous nasi beratur since she will be out till so late d. For him, he had already gone there like so many times since he's such a night person.

That's 79 years of business yo!

The extended under canopy area. Pretty cool.

How Nasi Beratur got its name.

The many varieties of curry and dish for you to choose. If you're a clean freak, don't think you'll feel comfortable eating here.

Our main course.

He says: The chicken meat in the picture above is super hard. So, grandparents, you better stay away from that. Haha! But this place serves really good nasi kandar. The 'kuah'/gravy is simply awesome.  Even the rats and cockroaches risk their lives to get a bite of it. =p I recommend you people to try the beef meat, and the ayam ros. Also, some say that the squid eggs is a must!

She says: Fried chicken is definitely not the best. But the gravy is powerr! I never actually expect that the curry would be so nice. I mean, that kinda explains why there are so many people in the midnight onwards and people actually will BERATUR for it. But partly also cos the man who serves is freaking slow. He takes like forever to scoop the rice onto the plate. Haha. I will definitely go back there again and again. Go Nasi Beratur!!
