Queen Street in Penang is a heaven for foodies with its offerings of chapati and nasi (rice) with mouthwatering curry dishes. Among the many street stalls, Nasi Dalca Rahim stall has made its name on this street.

Nasi Dalca Rahim was established way back in 1948. Located opposite the beautiful Sri Mahamariamman Temple, the stall is known for selling  nasi dalca (rice cooked with dal).

Aside from the dishes, don’t forget to add on the household cathi/chatni paste. The coarse paste made with coconut and spices adds a robust flavor  to the rice.

The paste is sought after by the many locals but yet there are some who absolutely can’t accept its flavor.
