Ali Ameir Nasi Kandar — Restaurant in George Town

So, been seeing a lot of Facebook pages recommending this nasi kandar shop. Thus, went there for the 1st time to try it out and see for myself what all the hype is about.

Warning! This is my own personal opinion, haters gonna hate but I don't care. Go and write your own review 😒.

First thing first, what I ordered is nasi kurang, kuah campur, telur bawang and ayam masak merah. To my surprise, when I tried to tear the chicken, there was blood flowing out. Yeah, blood 🩸

For sure I didn't finish the chicken 😂 I had lost my interest on the chicken the moment I saw the blood flowing out. Secondly, I dunno it's my tongue problem or what, but the kuah campur is just so so blend. I could barely taste anything from the kuah. The telur bawang is just plain plain blend as well.

The good thing about this place? The parking space beside the shop (RM 2) and the Teh O Ais limau which had more flavor than the rice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anyway, will I be coming back to this place? A big NO. Today's the first and last...

The dishes aren’t fancy—no ayam bawang or lamb shank or anything like that. Just the basics like fish, chicken, prawns, squid, and eggs. But their mixed gravy? Even on the third day, it still left a lingering aroma on my hand. Definitely recommended to try. I’ll surely be...

Ali ameir has been a staple to the Jelutong nasi kandar scene and has been at Jelutong road for ages. I've eaten here a number of times as I reside nearby in Jelutong. But despite its celebrated status among working class jelutongites, I've never really jibed with their nasi kandar taste. One factor is that I prefer thick gravy and Ali ameir is known for its ceroi (watery) kuah, which understandably, some people prefer it that way. Well, I guess different people have different taste-buds. I still come to Ali ameir every now and then usually when bringing my friends on holiday in Penang to try out this legendary Jelutong...
