Nasi kandar is a popular northern Malaysian dish, which originates from Penang. It is a meal of steamed rice that can be plain or mildly flavoured, and served with a variety of curries and side dishes.
At 2am every Sunday, Rogayah Ali starts preparing nasi kandar to be sold on the front porch of her double-storey terrace house in USJ 11, Subang Jaya.
By 6.15am, Rogayah has set up tables and chairs on her front porch and laid out all the freshly-cooked dishes.
Rogayah’s menu usually has fish curry, beef, spicy prawns, brinjals, okras, boiled eggs and many others to greet customers arriving after performing their subuh prayers.
