Nice place Bro. Have eaten there a few years ago. Delicious 😋
The curry is really special... they have their own unique taste!
👍👍
marvellous! nice video
Thank you so much... I am loving your videos and they are also inspiring... each time we go somewhere new I will see if you have a recommendation. My wife may kill me if I tell her our next vacation is in Kuchai Lama though hahahaha
Now you make me craving for nasi kandar at this hour 😂
Nasi Kandar Beratur still open bro hahahahaha 😁😁😁
The areas still have old buildings during the colonial times, that's why is historical. Want ori Nasi Kandar? You must go to Penang. It's started there first. Memang sedap, best in Penang and seberang prai 😂. As for me, at least once a month, go and whack Nasi Kandar. Still, Penang is the best. Btw, thank you for decorating yr Daughter with something on her hair. Hehe. Candid scene. 😂😅
Hahaha yes I totally agree! Now my daughter will request NK at least twice a week. I think once a week is OK lah, hehehe. I think Merlin is my number 3 favourite NK is Penang at the moment, after Deens Maju and Mohd Raffee.
@@pishedblokeMan, "Deens Maju" rocks! (my no.1 as well & my wife & kids love it), Raffee is nice, but skewed on the spicier side, NK is surprisingly good, but Merlin is just full of memories of my late dad, bringing me there during my younger days, the taste of the kurma and what not.
U should try kedah nasi kandar also, but the gravy bit sweeter than penang one and they used different rice similar to nasi lemak.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤good food idea for my next visit
Ooooh this one must try if you love curries!😁
Nice video. I took almost the same angle of the hotel/restaurant exterior. Did the dji automatically panned the the 2 mics left and right or did you manually panned the audio? Anyway thanks for the shoutout. 👍🏻👍🏻
It was an additional pleasure to meet you there bro! I actually didn't change the audio at all... I think the mics link to the camera automatically as TX1 and TX2 and they stay that way. I don't usually listen on headphones so I didn't even check hahaha but that is a good point, I should align the left/right audio in post, or just record in mono. DJI rolled out a new firmware update today so I need to check what it is, apparently it is to improve the audio!
@@pishedbloke yeah hopefully will bump into each other again soon. Hahaha.
So the dji mics panned automatically to left and right then. Yeah I watched youtube videos, movies and edit videos all wearing headphones. It's more like I don't wanna kacau everyone else with noise hahaha.
@@WanderingMunchers DJI just released a new firmwarefor the Pocket 3 and it was to improve the audio and added some features. Have yet to try it out, but so far it seems like a good vlogging setup. I am happy with the camera quality too.
@@pishedbloke yeah the video quality looks great.
you can actually park your car at the multi story car park beside Maybank at Union St.
oh yes yes... I would hve gone there if I didn't get anything else. That's also a better place than the private parking along Beach Street and Bishop Street
@@pishedblokein fact, the multi story car park is the cheapest! haha
@@AUNTHIAM hahahaha true!!! The one next to the famous nasi lemak is super expensive!

Bro, aside from the kuah banjir, did you try their greenish-looking spices, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like a mix of coconut spices, etc?
it's located at the separate table alongside with their curry bowls
Oh yes I have that on camera but I edited it out to keep the video more concise... they had a few sauces and sambals, especially the sambal nyioq (coconut sambal) which I usually only see in Kedah.
@@pishedblokeYes, the coconut sambal, mixed with the mixture of kuah... = heaven!
@@pishedblokeyeah true not all nasi kandar joints in penang have sambal nyioq by default. The ones I've been to that have sambal nyioq are Tajuddin Hussain, sirajuddeen, ceri and bathusa if I'm not mistaken. There's some other nasi kandar joints that have sambal nyioq but I can't remember which ones.
@@WanderingMunchers I remember I used to have sambal nyioq with my Laksa Teluk Kechai in Alor Setar.... really great memories of my youth. :)
Bro, you should be using your hand when eating Nasi Kandar ......
But then who will operate the camera? 😁😁😁
