Nasi Kandar @ Line Clear
Being in Penang, you would not end your trip with nasi kandar. Line Clear Nasi Kandar is my preference as well as Hamidiah in Penang Road. With over 40 years of History, Line Clear serves a good choice of Nasi Kandar. Be prepared to queue here and sometimes the line can goes pretty loong but no worries, it’s line movement comes relatively fast. Enjoy the rich curries and herbs, with the choice of white rice or event the savory and fragrant Nasi Briyani. Topped with the dishes you love from fried chicken, squid egg, beef, fish and more.

Gartien Pineapple Cake
Some may not favour for some tambun biscuit, you can consider getting the Pineapple Cake back too. The pineapple is well blend with raw sugar and honey to produce the tangy and tasty taste of it with the juicy pineapple taste which is indeed a great combination for the filing. It is then being baked till golden brown and I am just loving the fluffiness of the tarts overall.
