A Malaysian food enthusiast recently set a new record in Penang by spending RM256 on a single plate of Nasi Kandar.
This extravagant purchase was made at Nasi Kandar Pelita in Chai Leng Park, as reported on their TikTok account, @nasikandarpelitaofficial.
The meal was a lavish spread, including items like chicken, lamb shank, squid, various seafood, and a medley of vegetables, all smothered in a mixture of gravies.
The diner, who visited on a rainy evening, did not hold back in his order, resulting in an overflowing plate that required additional dishes to accommodate the large quantity of food.
The meal was so vast that the diner had to separate his dishes onto different plates, and even requested an extra plate to manage the substantial serving.
He took his time enjoying the Nasi Kandar, particularly praising the quality of the chicken and the size of the prawns.
This record-breaking meal surpasses the previous record of RM218 for a Nasi Kandar plate set at Nasi Kandar Sulaiman in Penang.
In another noteworthy instance, Nasi Kandar Sulaiman in George Town reported a customer who spent RM69 on their Nasi Kandar, establishing a new record for the restaurant.
This receipt featured an impressive array of seafood, including big squid, prawns, and mutton, which netizens considered reasonable considering the quantity and quality of food provided.
