The Penang Nasi Tomato, or tomato rice, is a rice dishes that is similar to nasi kandar. While nasi kandar is sold mostly by the Indian Muslims, nasi tomato is more popularly sold by Malay hawkers. This can be found at Malay hawker centres as well as Malay night markets or pasar malam.
Tomato rice is also served at Malay weddings. To prepare it, one should use long-grain rice or Basmati rice, as this type of rice lends itself better to tomato rice. The orange color of the rice comes from tomato paste. To complete the nasi tomato dish, serve served with fried chicken or chicken in dry gravy, and garnished with slivers of cucumber.
In my opinion, the best nasi tomato I have ever eaten was sold by a Malay stall in a small hawker centre across the Shell petrol station in Gelugor. Unfortunately the hawker centre has since shut down, and I do not know where that stall has relocated to.
On the food map below I list out the stalls selling nasi kandar. There's actually more than shown, as many nasi kandar stalls also sell nasi tomato - inquire with them whether they have nasi tomato too.
