Restoran SMR Nasi Lemak Royale — Restaurant in Kedah

A nostalgic restaurant well known for it's Nasi Lemak. Here's the thing, Alor Setar's version of Nasi Lemak is actually Nasi Kandar for those not from Kedah. Difference is the rice.

As for this fav outlet of mine, i hope they remain in business for a longgg...
