Order: Banana-leaf nasi lemak bungkus with fiery dried-chilli sambal
Penang's most famous little pyramid of nasi lemak, wrapped in banana leaf and loaded with a properly hot sambal. Started in 2004, it is MICHELIN Guide-listed yet still costs pocket change, so grab two or three with different lauk.

Michelin Guide 2026 · Bib Gourmand
Order: Nasi lemak with Nyonya chicken curry
A MICHELIN Bib Gourmand pick that pairs nasi lemak with a rich, spicy Nyonya-style chicken curry. The house sambal belacan is so loved that regulars buy jars to bring home.
