Kassim Nasi Kandar, George Town, Penang

Kassim Nasi Kandar, Magazine Road, George Town, Penang (11 November 2021)


Kassim Nasi Kandar (GPS: 5.41374, 100.32914) is a popular nasi kandar stall in George Town, Penang. The stall has been around for a long time, at least a couple of decades, for I do remember eating here on the day GAMA first opened. It has operated in various locations close to one another, including Brick Kiln Road and Dato Kramat Road, and as of September 2018, is located in a shophouse at Magazine Road. The shop is open every day from 7:30am to 8:30pm.

The last time I went there to eat was in 2013. It has changed from what I remembered it. Now it felt more like the 24-hour stalls, and not like the nasi kandar stall of old. Perhaps that's the direction that most nasi kandar stalls are heading. I am very glad however, that when it moved again to Magazine Road in 2018, the old ambience was back.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
