    On our last day, we decided to try the famous Nasi Lemak that was just around the corner from our hotel. This store was featured in the Michelin Guide and had many positive reviews on Google. We got there early in the morning at around 8.

    In the heart of Penang’s bustling Beach Street, a grab-and-go stall called Nasi Lemak Ali beckons with irresistible aromas. The constant snaking queues stemming from the stall are a testament to the stall’s success.

    This small stall has become a familiar name for those looking for Nasi Lemak in George Town , Penang . It does not serve the elaborate version with fried chicken wing, cucumber slices, peanuts and a full plate arrangement.

    There is still a long long queue at Ali Nasi Lemak Daun Pisang. I guess the banana leaf fragrance made some difference. Sambal is good.

    A popular nasi lemak stall located in a Chinese food court, with a nice Malaysian vibe where people of different races run their businesses together.

    One of my favourite spots for traditional nasi lemak, still wrapped in banana leaves — which really adds that extra layer of aroma. It’s slightly pricier compared to other nasi lemak options, but you can tell they don’t compromise on…

    On 25 March 2025, my cousin and I bought 12 packs of nasi lemak from here. After getting tired of eating Raya food, nasi lemak was what we were looking for for breakfast, but the sambal was too spicy to the point of making my eyes water…

    A popular nasi lemak stall in the hawker center! It's one of my favorite places in the hawker center because they serve Tiger Beer! It's in a building with no walls and no air conditioning, but it's comfortable!
