#1
Nasi Lemak Tanglin
Kerinchi·$
Ayam Masak Merah
MYR5.50
Tender chicken in a red curry-like spice paste with tomato and ginger undertones.
Tip: Order a full plate of nasi lemak and add ayam masak merah as your side protein. Many regulars skip the harder-to-eat proteins (paru) and go straight for this.
#2
Sambal Hijau Restaurant
Kampung Sungai Penchala·$
Rendang Daging
MYR6.50
Beef cooked low and slow in a rich coconut-spice paste until the meat is fork-tender.
Tip: Pair rendang daging with a lighter side like ulam or a vegetable preparation to balance the richness.
#3
Sambal Hijau Restaurant
Kampung Sungai Penchala·$
Ayam Sambal Hijau
MYR5.50
Chicken pieces in a green sambal made from bird's eye chilies, shallots, garlic, and herbs.
Tip: Start with the ayam sambal hijau to understand what the restaurant does best — this signature dish showcases their distinct green sambal flavor.
#4
Warung Pak Hassan
Kampung Baru·$
Kari Kaki Ayam (Curry only)
MYR6.00
Thin, aromatic curry loaded with chicken feet and chicken meat — can be ordered as a standalone side.
Tip: This curry is the signature — order it even if you're skeptical about chicken feet. The flavor is clean and not off-putting, and the texture is addictive.
