last week, at prai, Juru rest area, I kena RM9+ for a nasi kandar ayam goreng + 1 begedil + sayur..damn

KL normal-lah but this is Penang wor..So many new topics in Koptiam now bombarding even the RM9.50 chapfan..Not forgetting the portion in Penang is 1/2 of KL

Me too..Nasi lemak & mee goreng @ RM0.40 & Curry mein at RM0.60 during my secondary year

Unker Etigge also said so liao lor.. . You probably last there about a year ago. I was shock when I was there last week...Prai area suppose to be cheaper than Penang & so do Sg Petani..All Nasi Kandar over there also so expensive liao compare to a year ago!!..I remembered 1.5 yrs ago, in Sg Petani, I got 1 nasi kandar wth 1 big chicken & sayur for only RM3.40...dirt cheap..Last week went there..RM6 liao

I need to order 2 plates or RM20 if we wanna make into KL portion liao

Anyway, it's great CKT but the portion...

Darm..All spoiling Penang fames food pricing liao....I find the qty so Kiamsiap wan lor...beh tahan..You all must be attracted to his Char bor kia..haha

Can't recall liao..years back..But I can recall saw the cute girl serving me the CKT..haha..plain wan RM5 1/2 portion of KL damn expensive ~ 3 yrs ago

Other countries, Nokia maps is superb but when comes to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Southern Thailand & Northern Thailand, Garmin & Papago rules. All the famous & favourite restaurants are there..Furthermore, Those malfreemaps & malsingmaps throughout the years, contributors already & keep son reporting routing errors & continuing updating POIUs.. Even if the famous restaurant shifted, you will be able to see it updated during nxt few maps updates which is within weeks..

So, Try out 1st either Garmin or Papago...Don't only stick to Nokia maps..The updates & POIs really horrible & even few highways already completed since early last year for weg LEKAS & SKVE from Putrtajaya hv yet to be updated in Nokia maps till Today .

For Oversea, yes Nokiamaps is good since lack of real mapping communities like the one in Malaysia, Indonesia & Phillipines..

Those famous eateries in Penang discussed here already inside the maps. Just search in your Navigation system..well provided you are using Garmin/Papgo wth either malfreemaps & malsingmaps lah haha..If you use others..probably can't find

The last I went there Early June..Beh chiak

That assam laksa at Ayer Hitam market degraded liao. Not as nice as decade ago. I can find even better than Ayer hitam laksa in Puchong, Selangor (Inside Puteri Mart van seller haha- also originally from Penang and just migrated to Puchong last year haha together wth the whole van!)

Sometime famous does not mean good

The air Hitam laksa not only taste so-so but lotsa Klang Valley Laksa tasted better haha
