Penang - Line Clear Nasi Kandar, Penang Road
"Nasi kandar", a popular rice dish of Indian-Muslim origin, served with a mind-boggling array of curries & side-dishes, is a must-have for any foodie to Penang.
Line Clear Nasi Kandar is incongruously located in a narrow alleyway, near the junction of Penang Road & Chulia Street in downtown Georgetown. It's been serving nasi kandar at the same spot for nearly 70 years now. The place stays open 24 hours.
Standing near the large cauldrons of bubbling curries, one cannot help but be seduced by the delicious aromas of the various curries being cooked: mutton khurma, chicken curry, giant fish-heads curry, etc.

Agreed. But everything seemed to have gotten more expensive in downtown Georgetown these days. But then, there seemed to be a spike of visitors in the past few years, especially young, DSLR-wielding Malaysians from other states. Western visitors nowadays are older and with more money - in the 70s all the way to the 90s, many European/American tourists in Penang are backpackers or budget travellers.

Back to Line Clear again today. My Nasi Kandar plate today consisted of a delicious piece of curried chicken, a large wedge of fried fish-roe, a hard-boiled hen's egg, and a pair of par-boiled okra.
One wall showed famous customers at Line Clear - hey, even Anthony Bourdain ate here :-D
I need to come back for one of those curried fish-heads next time.

Thanks for this klyeoh, I'll be in Penang for 3 nights over the next two weeks and I'm having a tough time finding places to eat. I'll make a point of trying this!
