Another original that stay true to nasi kandar tradition. Long before it becomes a house hold name. Long before folks outside Penang (including Kedah and nothern Perak) ever heard or tasted the peranakan culinaries delight, they have been preparing meals for hungry Bagan's folks - mostly mamak like myself.
They are not your everyday corporate nasi kandar that has long sold out the true nature of peranakan dishes to accomodate 'foreigners' palata.
They don't wear uniforms. No Bangla and Indian nationals here - only 2nd and 3th generation peranakan extended family operating this joint.
Loc: Behind Telekom building, Jln Bagan Luar. (very near my grandparents place off the in famous Mengkuang Rd)
No fancy dishes, no catfish (no peranakan dish included cat fish in its menu!!!) - the basic bolied egss, beef kurma, fish curry, chicken curry, green vege, fried chicken and nasi minyak on some days. My brother in law eats here religously. Kitchen can be seen from where you are eating and you will be suprise at how clean it is!
Peranakan (mamak) culinary dishes has always been served with utmost care on cleanliness. Say no to pretenders like "Line Clear". My father (2nd generation peranakan) would never eats at such places.
So go to Jamal Mohamed for a wholesome , original and clean peranakan meal!
