When it comes to nasi kandar in Ipoh, one needs to give this place a try. You'll get to choose from over 20 types of dishes that are available each day. Their ayam merah dish is different from the others because the chicken is actually deep fried rather than having it soaked in gravy. The nasi kandar here has also been given the title "nasi ganja" as it is known to be very addictive to whoever has tried it for the first time.
