- So check it out, it's Trevor James and today I'm with the
one and only Kyle Le and we are in Panang, Malaysia, Food
Heaven, and we're gonna try a classic nasi kandar,
Malaysian Muslim Indian food.
You pumped, man?
- I'm so pumped.
(energetic music)
- If you're new to nasi kandar,
this is one of the best things to try in Malaysia.
A huge selection of seafood, chicken, mutton, and vegetables
await to be doused in a copious amount of curry.
Locals line up down the street.
Chicken 75.
You have spicy mutton curry?
- Yes, no.
Mutton no spicy.
- Oh.
Limon.
Lemon?
- Lemon.
- Oh yeah.
Yeah, buddy.
Oh yeah.
One more plate.
Spicy chicken, yeah, spicy chicken,
'cause we didn't get that last time.
- [Kyle] Cuttlefish.
- [Trevor] Cuttlefish.
And cuttlefish, yeah, good choice,man.
- Oh my God.
- He's putting all the sauces on.
Aww.
Isn't that magic?
We're holding it up here.
Okay.
That's what the best thing about it is,
the mixture of the curry.
Oh look at him mix it all.
- Yeah, I'm getting dizzy looking at this.
- Wow.
- This is amazing.
This is amazing.
Okay.
And...
Fish head.
Fish head, yeah.
This is a feast man.
Nasi kandar heaven.
And fish head, this is fish head.
Look at all that curry sauce.
- This one, a big one?
- [Trevor] Big fish head.
Big fish head.
- Okay.
- [Trevor] Big fish head.
Oh, you boil?
- Boil.
- Oh yeah.
Awesome.
Look at this feast.
Okay, why don't we sit right here?
Ken, Ken.
Good.
Now that's a nasi kandar special, my friends.
Nasi kandar.
The thing you must try in Panang, Malaysia.
How long has nasi kandar been here?
- Three years.
- This nasi kandar?
- Three years.
- Three years?
This is your place?
- Yes.
Nice to meet you.
Trevor and Kyle.
- Kyle, nice to meet you.
Pleasure.
- Second time here?
- Yes.
Second time.
First time was amazing.
I had to bring him.
Yeah.
We have a feast.
- Okay, have fun.
- Thank you.
We've got beef rendang curry.
We've got lemon mutton curry.
We've got spicy chicken, we've got cuttlefish,
we've got fish eggs, we've got Chicken 75, which is their
special chicken, it's got 15 spices and herbs,
and fish head covered in curry sauce,
and then a huge other plate full of a mixture of curries
and there's an omelet there.
Man, there's so much food.
- Ah!
- This is just awesome, okay.
This sambal here is what the magic is all about.
You've got to get your fingers right into that rice.
Let's just start, man.
- Okay.
- Just get your fingers in there.
Take some of that sambal.
Oh, it's warm.
The first taste is mixing all that curry up.
Let's go for it.
Oh, yeah.
Man.
That's magical.
That sambal.
- Oh, oh yeah.
- Spicy and sweet.
Oh, look at that mutton.
Lemon.
- Oh, you're right.
The sambal, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It makes the dish, yeah.
- [Trevor] It makes it, right?
- [Ken] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a little bit spicy.
- Here we are, in Panang,
eating amazing curry with our hands.
Beef rendang here.
Mmm, man!
That sambal's what it's all about.
The curry flavor?
There is like 10 different curry flavors in there.
It's spicy.
I'm getting some star anise seeds,
some cloves, a little cinnamon.
Man, it's packed full of flavor.
With that sambal, which is sweet, citrusy, oh, man.
I don't even want to talk.
- Every bite is different.
- Mm-hmm.
- You chew, I'll talk.
Every bite is different.
There's contrasting flavors.
The spiciness, like you said, but the curry sauce actually
makes the rice softer and way more enjoyable because it
soaks in really well.
You don't feel like you're eating white rice.
You feel like you're eating this aroma,
this plethora of spices.
- Wow.
- From different regions of this world.
- Oh.
- I just feel so primitive but so amazing at the same time.
- Man.
That is good.
Take that bite, man.
- Oh yeah.
- [Trevor] Is it good?
- That is the life.
- Look at that fish head, man.
- That is the life.
Look at that massive fish head.
There's even like, you can tell there's a bunch of different
curries on there.
There's like beef rendang sauce,
they boiled it in a hot chile curry.
- Just eating it with your hands,
that makes it a lot better.
- Mm-hmm.
- But it's pretty messy, but you have to eat it quick.
Honest opinion, excellent.
Every bite is a different flavor.
You can come back here five days, seven days in a week and
still experience something completely different.
I'm not a big rice eater, but I'll gladly eat this.
Really spectacular.
- Totally, man.
With that sambal.
This is the secret stuff right here.
- Right, absolutely.
- Right?
- It adds a whole other dimension.
Spicy, citrusy, and sweet in one bite.
Let's go take a photo with the owner.
Can I take photo?
- [Dean] Yes.
- Thank you.
Okay, let's wait.
