Nasi Kandar Dinner at Deen Maju

Queuing to order at Deen Maju (15 April 2016)


After hearing about the Deen Maju Nasi Kandar, we went there for the first time on 15 April, 2016. The nasi kandar operates from the compound of a typical pre-war townhouse, a Chinese house in fact. We arrived quite early, around 6:25 pm, but saw that there was already a long queue. It took just about 10 minutes to place our order. With the stall occupying much of the space in the compound, there was only room for a few more tables there, so additional tables are placed in the alleyway by the side, and also within the reception hall of the house itself.

Taking our plates, we found a small table for the two of us inside the house. It was indeed a different feel to eat nasi kandar in the reception hall of a prewar Chinese townhouse. I could see the Chinese characters on the front door.

I had beef, fish, boiled egg and ladies fingers while my wife ordered chicken, egg and ladies fingers. With two iced lemonade, our bill came to RM19.95.

Here's how our nasi kandar look like:

How do I describe my meal on my first visit to Deen Maju? I like it. The nasi kandar tastes good to me. I do find that the ladies fingers are a big on the tough side. My wife said the gravy was very sweet. The nasi kandar does not impress her as much. She prefers the nasi kandar at the Penang Road Line Clear, which we have taken twice recently.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
