Nasi Kandar Pelita

The streets of colonial Malaysia are where the Indian Muslim dish nasi kandar originated. Here, amidst the proud houses and bustle of life, a lone figure would trek through the dusty streets, bearing baskets of food and rice hanging from a yoke across his shoulder. Tantalising aromas of fragrant curries, vegetables, fried fish, beef, and chicken would precede his arrival as he went from house to house, hawking his fare.
