In short
One of Penang's oldest nasi kandar spots, down a lane off Penang Road in George Town. Big, spicy plates at budget prices draw late-night eaters, at wooden tables or to take away.
Nasi Kandar Line Clear is one of the oldest nasi kandar eateries in Penang, set in a lane at 177 Jalan Penang (Penang Road), George Town. A narrow entrance opens into an alley of simple wooden tables and chairs. It suits budget travellers and late-night eaters who want a big, spicy plate of Penang's Tamil-Muslim rice meal.
Rice, curries and Penang's nasi kandar
Nasi kandar is a Penang original: steamed rice topped with your choice of curries and side dishes, picked from trays at the counter. Fried chicken is the classic partner, and fish and vegetables are on offer too. Regulars ask for plenty of curry over the rice, often mixing more than one gravy. Expect strong spice and big portions.
Pointing at dishes and checking the price
Point clearly at each item you want on the counter. You pay for what you choose, so extra meat raises the bill; ask the price before you sit down if you are on a tight budget. A teh tarik or lime juice helps balance the heat. Takeaway is available.
Lunchtime crowds and quieter late evenings
Lunchtime is busiest and noisiest. Late evening is quieter and suits travellers coming from nearby bars or night markets.
