Nasi Kandar Pelita

Kuala Lumpur


There's round-the-clock eating at the open-sided pavilion housing the KLCC branch of this hugely popular chain of excellent mamak (Indian Muslim) eateries. It's cheap, clean and offers plenty of choice: browse roti canai (flaky flatbread; served 4pm to 11am), dosas (paper-thin rice-and-lentil crêpes), chicken cooked in the tandoor and biryani (spiced rice dishes) before you decide.
