Touted as one of the best nasi kandars in Kuala Lumpur, Restoran Kudu Abdul has been serving Nasi Kandar to KL-ites for the past 30 years. Situated in Chow Kit, the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the corner shoplot location remains the same ever since they opened for business in the 1960s. That's 62 bloody years, at the same spot selling the same food to all walks of life in the area. Chow Kit back then was like Trafalgar Square to London but not today. Chow Kit today is a long forgotten and neglected area in KL where the focus now is in the Golden Triangle i.e Pavilion, KLCC and the soon to be unveiled Merdeka 118 Tower which will be the world's 2nd tallest building in 2023.
As like other nasi kandars in the Northern state of Penang, this dish is made up of rice, curries, meat and vegetables.
Please eat your nasi kandar with piping hot rice regardless of where. If the servers give you rice which is cold, return the plate and walk out. No one will be angry at this petulant action of yours. In fact, they will support your protest.
Anyway, my nasi kandar consisted of fried chicken, hot piping rice, ladyfingers, cabbage, fried egg and various curries and kurma, I mixed everything together and with a spoonful of all the combination into my mouth, it was a ... LETDOWN. Why was it a letdown? Because I did not achieve the "F**k, this is delicious" reaction as I normally do when I consume the greatest nasi kandars in Penang such as Nasi Kandar Kg Melayu and Nasi Kandar Deen Maju. This was slightly salty and just mediocre.
