Shaik Dawood Nasi Kandar — Restaurant in George Town

While awaiting our rental car drop-off at the airport, my wife and I decided to take an impromptu drive around the airport vicinity, which led us to the Shaik Dawood Nasi Kandar restaurant.

As a typical nasi kandar eatery, the menu and style followed the traditional pattern we were accustomed to. However, this time, we aimed for something different and went for the char-fried squid noodle. The dish turned out to be good but not exceptional. Its generous portion prompted us to share the dish, which was a wise choice.

The coconut drink we ordered provided much-needed refreshment, especially on a hot day. While the restaurant maintained cleanliness, the layout felt a bit disorganized, and the lingering smell of kitchen smoke was noticeable.

Parking was available along the roadside, although spaces were limited. It's worth noting that the restaurant is conveniently less than a 10-minute drive from the Penang International Airport, making it a feasible option for those with time to spare before their flights.

Overall, the Shaik Dawood Nasi Kandar offered a satisfactory meal experience. Though the char-fried squid noodle didn't reach the level of greatness, the coconut drink and convenient location balanced out...

The restaurant is small but they really take care to prepare food as per customer request even for take away or online delivery. Taste wise the dishes are...

Nasi putih taroh lauk ayam goreng, bendi, telur rebus & bawang goreng. Apa yang saya boleh komenkan, dari segi rasa bolehlah makan kalau malas nak p sampai ke Jelutong nuu. Dia kalau betoi nak rasa sedap tu pastikan ada kuah daging hitam. Hat nie kira macam signature nasi kandaq blah² Tanjung sana. Kena ada rasa pedas, masin, manis yang seimbang baru ada suurrrrr!!

Tapi apa pun, nasi kandaq kat sini nak kata tak sedap tu tak boleh laa cuma agak kurang...
