Teh(Tea) Halia(Ginger) & Teh Masala Chai is a different beverages, not Teh Masala Chai in Malaysia is called Teh Halia... Actually, the real Nasi Kandar is just Plain White with mix of gravy pour into a rice, vegetables & proteins..when you use nasi beriani, is no more called nasi kandar, just normal nasi beriani with vege, protein & gravy.. 😊
I'm Malaysian and no matter where I go I will still miss my country's foods.Because nothing else can beat them.

Great to see you guys enjoying Penang like a local! When a Malaysian goes to Penang for holiday, 90% of the itinerary is eating. From breakfast, brunch, lunch, dessert, dinner, supper 😀. Just like any other meals such as pizza and burgers, there are authentic versions and there are less authentic or budget or over the top versions of cendol, nasi kandar etc. The simple shaved ice and soupy cendol is the original and best version. And penang nasi kandar is the benchmark and most original because of its fresh ingredients, authentic and flavorful curries/spices, variety of choices. Northern states of Malaysia have more authentic nasi kandars because of Indian muslims who settled down there many generations ago. But there are many indian or mamak restaurants in KL and all over Malaysia who are actually just selling rice with simple curries and calling them nasi kandar. This is a travesty to me 😅

Rojak usually has pineapple, bangkuang/sengkuang (a kind of local turnip), cucumber, possibly green mango, possibly fried dough sticks (cruller). The sauce is sweet soy, belachan (prawn paste), sugar, possibly some chilli and chopped peanuts. There are dishes here that mix up the sweet and saltiness. (A bit like salt to caramel, or even a bit of bacon to desserts.)

Rojak is usually eaten as a snack. Interestingly there are chinese, malay and indian versions of rojak. The one you had was chinese rojak. Malay rojak does not have the crunchy crullers or squid. Mainly fruit and veg. The sauce is similar though. Indian rojak has totally different contents and sauce and can be eaten as a main meal. Penang is famous for the indian rojak, locally called pasembor.

Bro, that’s not line clear nasi Kandar, it’s beside. Hihi. But I’m sure it tasted good too. Line clear been there for ages. We are looking forward for our Penang trip soon. 😍💃. In Kl, ABC food corner nasi Kandar is good too. That’s the only place we satisfy our cravings. And that’s not the original Penang road cendol, that’s the branch. The original one is opposite the police station.

The prawn sauce complimented the dish but in our mind the squid just destroyed the rojak for us 😅
If I'm not mistaken, there is an option to add a dollop of petis/otak udang, which is a black coloured shrimp paste, to your laksa for an extra umami flavour.
