Never tried the original in Penang, but I ate quite often at Kayu way back when it was still just a small in Chow Yang coffee shop in SS2. It was damn awesome back than. I remember we used to buy the kuah kari ikan (for which they would charge RM10 itself) and brought it back to cook our own fish in it. Syiok!

Of course, we all know what happened to Chow Yang (owner bankrupted from gambling debts) while that little stall flourished into owning both the front and back shops now.

Quality, taste, and portion went down the drain though.

Best nasi kandar in KL/PJ that I've had recently with curry and fried chicken would be at the nasi kandar stall just outside the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall in KL (don't ask me why its Selangor in KL ). RM7.50 for fried chicken drumstick and 2 veggies. Yeah yeah, expensive but KL prices these days...
