Nasi Kandar Jafran
About
On Penang, Nasi Kandar Jafran sits at Flat Hassan Abbas, 11050, 11050, Penang, Malaysia. That address places it in the 11050 area of the island.
Nasi kandar is the draw here, the Penang style of rice served with curries and side dishes, and it is what brings people through the door. As a café, the setting is informal and built around quick, everyday meals. Visitors have given it a 4.9 out of 5 average across 53 reviews, a record that reflects strong approval among the people who eat here. George Town, Batu Ferringhi, Gurney Drive, Penang Hill, Balik Pulau, Tanjung Bungah, Teluk Bahang and Georgetown Heritage lie across the island, so a car or taxi covers the ground between them.
First-time visitors should expect to order rice with a choice of curries and sides rather than a fixed set menu. Reaching the café from the main resorts and towns takes a drive, since the island's sights are spread along the coast and inland.
Rice and noodles are staples in Malaysia, flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste, and nasi kandar follows that pattern. Malay is the national language of Malaysia, and English, Mandarin, Tamil and Chinese dialects are widely spoken. Malaysian islands lie in the Straits of Malacca, the South China Sea and the Sulu and Celebes Seas. Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves grow around Malaysian islands, supporting turtles and reef fish.
