Dont worry, it is not a tourist trap. Majority of Malaysians have experienced this too at any Nasi Kandar restaurants. We learnt our lesson and we dont take seafood at nasi kandar or mamak restaurants.
Yup. That’s why I never take seafood & lamb when go eat nasi kandar.. even normal nasi kandar with fried chicken, egg & some vegetables already cost almost to Rm20 now..
Jimmy- comfort your wife when she unintentionally overused family budget and feel bad about it. Jimmy is husband material, and IChang is a good wife. Love you guys as always
Hi. I just saw your video. Fyi, I am from Penang, and most of here in Penang rarely go to Hameediyah because of it's price. They often offer luxurious dish such as turkey, giant squid, tiger prawn and many more. Hameediyah is like luxury place for a Nasi Kandar restaurant. However, thank you for your video. I really like the experience! 😊
In Langkawi island we are rich with seafood food but only for local 🥰 i'm chinese Malaysia always eat in malay kedai sotong and udang fresh choice from sangkar laut only RM 10/12 ringgit bil with air milo nasi kerabu gamat 🤤
I love how iChang and Jimmy are understanding about their expectation vs reality moment with the murtabak 🌺 Btw guys you should come to Sabah for the best, cheapest, and freshest seafood!!!
@@bobbob-s3l depends on the place or restaurant you go to. I'd suggest to ask the locals for actual good spots to go. Or we can also buy the fresh seafood and cook it to our liking 😁
@@bobbob-s3l lol. So sad u got meh food taste. From my experience the food is amazing. Price is cheap. Much cheaper then 95 nasi kandar and it is delicious. NOT MEH.
I craved for nasi lemak once and went to the nearest malay restaurant. Their menu has no written price but I continued to add sambal udang, sotong, and kerang on my plate. The total price was around rm 80 and I was shocked. I got only rm 30 cash 🤣 Well, I offered to pay cashless but the waiter was acting confused, there are many ppl watching and I started to sweat. Thankfully there is a malay couple comes to my rescue.. they offered to pay for my meal and proceeded to say "its ok, kami belanje. Anggap je rezeki hari ni".. I was like 😫😭😭 thank youuuu..
Dont feel bad spending that much on your lunch,consider it as a treat to yourselves once in a blue moon and dont forget experience is the best teacher.All the best to both of you and stay positive.
I remember when I was working as a sales promoter during school holidays in Taman Tun. I had nasi kandar in one of the restaurant. I think I had a prawn and something else, it cost me more than my day pay. I was so upset and still remember until today 😂
Heheheee.. we have all been through that ya. Hopefully one day we get to order without having to ask for price because it's loose change for us 🤲 Amen!😊
Haha I feel you. Vividly remember I took a Magnum ice cream back in university time, took to reward myself a bit but a bit shocked when paying RM3-4 for that ice cream! Back then in campus time, this amount is sufficient for a proper meal like noodles or rice. And been a student surviving on PTPTN, it’s big for me! 😂
Nasi Kandar is not cheap compared to many other meals available in Malaysia. I can imagine your surprise at the price but it's not a tourist trap as it applies to Malaysians as well. Looking at what you took, I'll be happy with just the chicken, vegetables and salted egg. The large tiger prawn and lamb shank are luxurious items I can do without...unless if I win the lottery.
Don’t be shy to ask them to plate the meat items (especially lamb shank)individually on separate small plates. I’m always amazed by the oversized portions 😮
Nasi kandar is ok but please stick the basic 'Ayam or Chicken". The mamak guy will always promote Sotong / Squid,..Udang / Prawn, ...Kambing or Lamb Shanks which will be very expensive and also be carefull with Fish Head curry... ( Bad experience at Hameediah Restaurant )
Don't worry iChang and Jimmy. It's not a tourist trap. I've experience it before. Seafood at nasi kandar as well as lamb are usually pricey. That's why when I go nasi kandar I usually just eat rice, kuah campur, some vege, egg, and fried chicken only 😅
it is not tourist trap...this is famous and definitely expensive given the big lamb shank, and the big prawn you have there, even for locals, it will be the same price. :)
@@Fadlinification Yep...like what Jimmy said...actually if you looked at the size and come to think about it, the price is quite okay... I think if go Syed Bistro try the lamb shank, the price maybe cheaper a bit but need to compare also the size, i recall the lamb shank for Syed Bistro not super big...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts from this experience. It’s useful to those of us, like me, who may not be familiar and now we know - ask first for the price for prawn, lamb shank and sotong 😅. Sometimes with long queues behind me, I hesitate to ask as I feel bad that I am holding back the queue. But better to ask than be caught off guard. And Jimmy is right, when you cook at home - it’s different and it’s really good that you can appreciate that when doing business, unfortunately there are different considerations. Thank you once again for the video 😊🙏🏼 Here’s to many more awesome meals and experiences in Malaysia!
Go to pasar malam in Kuala Selangor, there is a stall called 'Pak Din' murtabak and his murtabak is pretty nice and very popular among the local here🥰 We usually buy it during Ramadhan, it was so gooood~ (and cheap also)
You two should do the usual technique "food order by others observation" before your turn to order. This will help a lot when travelling to an unfamiliar place. I like the lady walked past iChang when going for seats, she knows the meal cost a lot 🤣🤣🤣. Anyhow, hope both of you enjoy ya!
The thing you have to remember when eating nasi kandar is not to order prawn, squid or crab and fish head (if you are not sure how much it costs) because they can be very expensive , even local rarely order it unless you want to indulge
Last month, during my first eating experience at Hameediyah with my family, I told them not to order seafood and lamb 😆 because I know how pricy it would be. Our fav at hameediyah would be the Ayam Bawang 👍 Really good 🤤
Good evening Ichang and Jymmy. So happy that you are both enjoying the many foodies in Malaysia. What you ordered here are at least for 3 to 4 person to share by most of the local folks. That tiger prawn price in the grocery frozen should be around RM25 to RM30+ before cooking. The meal pricing will depends on which restaurants that you are visiting. Stay healthy and looking forward to your next posting.
Correct. I agree with your fair comment! People who claim that the prawn is expensive have never been to the market.. that's an at least 150g 200g prawn. So most people (who have never bought such a thing in their entire lives) knock it just because they don't know the true market value.. uuurghhh. But talk like champions! 🤷♀️🤭
Poor iChang. Her mood soured tremendously after paying for that meal. But its true, seafood is expensive wherever you go. Even though Malaysia is surrounded by ocean, seafood prices kept on rising year by year a.k.a. source is getting scarce. Also, mamak is actually more expensive compared to other local restaurant. Similar to why 7/11 is more expensive compared to other grocer. For example, a fried drumstick thats priced at RM3.50 at another restaurant might cost RM5.00 at mamak's. Thats just how it is.
In my opinion, the high charge on nasi kandar at hameediyah is too much and not fair to the service they provide. You have to queue and bring your own food to other place. That is not fair.
usually there are expensive mamak shops. but it depends on how many menus u guys take. Example squid , lamb shank , prawns are really expensive.. so you have to always remember that..
I used to take 2 of their prawn, was so shocked when I want to pay, I even contact their manager. Turns out it really is their price, they wrote it at their board, I think. But regardless, it is so delicious, and you will have an unforgettable story to tell. You have eaten the most Expensive Nasi Kandar in your life.
@@hobieyuto7516 Optimistic when you have money… If you have like RM20 in your bank account and 0 on person, that is the most harrowing experience you’ll ever face… Lol..
I was there 2 weeks ago. I did spot the lamb shank and giant prawns. I also saw the price list on the wall, $42 and $40. You weren’t trapped but those are indulgent items. Though tempted, I didn’t order either of those items. Maybe I should have ordered the lamb shank. Now, I won’t know how good they taste until my next trip to Penang. Regrets!!!
The food both of you ordered & consumed are more pricey items among the NASI KANDAR range as costs of food items are much more costly nowadays. It's a law in M'sia to display prices of every food item in the restaurant premise for consumers to choose. Moreover, our currency is still more competitive compared to our neighbouring countries. Still more affordable than others. Enjoy your stay here & take care. Domo arigato gazaimas for visiting PENANG in particular & MALAYSIA in general....
Prices do differ, but in general sea food is expensive compared to chicken. There are different styles of Murtabak and they do taste different from each other depending on their own recipe. So don't take this Murtabak as representing Murtabak in general. Yes, its good to ask the prices before odering seafood. Enjoy your food hunting 😋
For nasi kandar, avoid ordering sotong(ika) or udang(ebi),because its too expensive. Any nasi kandar will be the same. But of course hameediyah is more expensive since the prawn is gigantic. So we as locals usually order chicken/beef only for reasonable price 😅
Actually not all, but most of them. If you are in Penang, and craving for nasi kandar with sotong/udang sides, can go to Sulaiman. I can guarantee their price won’t hurt your pocket ☺️
that's absolutely correct! Whenever I go to nasi kandar shop, I will order chicken and kubis only. maybe I don't eat seafood/lamb/beef so overall is still okay for me.
The Large size Tiger Prawn at Nasi Kandar in Penang is usually cost RM20~RM40 depends on the location. Last time when one of my japanese friend came to Penang and i bring her to Hameediyah but it was too long queue ,so we went to NASI KANDAR KAPITAN MAJU ,the prawn was RM20 each and she tooks two. They also have big squid and crab cost RM50 each there as well.
Nasi kandar klu nak murah..ELAKKAN udang, ketam, lamb shank or sesetengah jenis ikan..Just ambik ayam je.Confirm tak mahal.Nak selamat, tanye dulu harge baru amik..
@@DonDon-iz8zc tapi bagi umi dan abah saya lain pula.. dia tak kisah nak makan apa-apa pun asalkan makanan tu habis dimakan... Sebab makanan tu beli pakai duit bukannya daun...
For local, if we really crave for seafood at nasi kandar place, most we go for is fish and regular size sotong. We knew well tiger prawn and lamb shank are considered premium item 😀. It's OK sometimes to spend more than budget on food. It's an experience and worth it for the quality and quantity.
mamak stall always expensive when you order something special, especially when you order something that is not common people eat. To avoid expensive, avoid lamb, sotong, big fish, and seafoods. They like to recommend expensive food when they know you are foreigner.
Jimmy, the taste of murtabak varies from 1 place to another. The malay murtabak where you can get at Pasar Malam are usually delicious than at mamak’s. And the ones made at home is always The Best! 👍🏼💪🏾
16 years ago same hameediyah, 1 small fried chicken..+ white rice, no gravy zero nothing (for my 4 year old kid) they charged me RM20! This was when line clear, was only charging RM3-4 for the same damn set! I've never gone again to this cut throat restaurant!!!!! There are other restaurants in penang that's 10 x better, never again at this restaurant. 😤
*The food on your plate was more than enough for a family of 5. Husband, wife and 3 small children..and it's eaten on husband's payday ( + finally he received a salary increment after working like crazy for many many years)..hehe. Most locals don't even go near the lamb shank as it's too pricey and even on weddings if there's roast lamb served for the guests, we're only given slivers of that meat. Yea..small pieces only. When it comes to prawn, shockingly that was huge and we Malaysians never even had the chance to touch it before. What you had there was enough to make someone full for the next 3-4 days* 🤭🤭
Hi iChang and Jimmy don't worry, you are paying a good price for good food. Normally prawn and sotong are a bit expensive in Nasi Kandar restaurant. Local people normally ordered chicken and beef, and once in awhile we order sotong and prawn.
Different states in Malaysia have different murtabak what you are having is murtabak mamak style(Penang). When you travel to other states pls try murtabak esp the ones made by malay restaurant. For examples in Pahang there are at least more than 3 types. The chicken they used mostly are in the form of mincemeat thats why you could not find chicken meats.
That is why you hardly see Malaysian take prawn and lamb shank as dish for Nasi Kandar. Now officially, I pronounce you as very rich couple 😅 in Malaysia. Well done 😂
Please don't support mamak restaurants who charge crazy prices...there are too many choices out there that mamak selling in reasonable price...this is not about inflation but they take for granted....
Usually ppl try avoid pickup huge prawn & huge sotong due to price there. This is pantang larang when go to nasi kandar / mamak. But sometime why not if have extra budget / wanna experience/ self rewards 😂
Tiger prawn is anywhere between RM40-RM60/kg at wet markets. Bigger size = higher price/kg. Lamb shank is expensive. For me, RM40 for that size of a lamb shank is definitely worth it, but I understand the feeling when you weren't expecting to spend that much over a meal, but had to fork out money anyway. The meat looks soft. Now I want to pujuk my husband to take me there. 🤤🤤
Its true Jimmy.. your version of murtabak is home made.. usually we make it generously at home. If they sell murtabak with generous chicken and meat, the price would have gone up even higher..
Reasonably commented and I felt it is an honest description ( be it the pricing or the quality of the food ) at this Hameediyah Nasi Kandar restaurant at Gerorgetown - Penang. Wishing both of you good food tasting and great holidays too.
Sometimes the simple ones are the best. Just ayam, sayur and kuah campur is the best nasi kandar mix. Even for murtabak, often the best ones are the cheap ones at the pasar malam.
Fyi, Hameediyah particularly their main restaurant in Chulia St is known for being the most expensive Nasi Kandar in this country as far as I knew. In fact their branches prices like Ampang and others are equally quite high. But again they are known for their original recipe and expensive spices used. They mix their own spices instead of buying a ready made spice from others. Thats why we recommend you to try Yusof Restaurant in Paya Terubung in another video of yours just to get another dimension.
Jimmy and Ichang, Nasi Kandar is well-known for its pricey dishes. We Malaysians have a rule when eating Nasi Kandar, never choose more than two dishes (that includes vegetables) if you want cheap Nasi Kandar. But here you took a lamb shank and a tiger prawn. I know most Malaysians are smiling like heck when you were ordering.
Nasi kandar wasn't 'well known for it's pricey dish'. If you order a piece of beef, one fried egg, vege, 2 ladyfinger + extra rice it won't cost more than rm10 in Penang. If you replace the beef to the whole thigh and drumstick, the price was around rm10-12. That's a reasonable price. What made nasi kandar expensive was seafood.
Hameediyah,finally..one of Penang's best and finest Nasi Kandar..the side dishes can be super expensive,depends on what did you choose to mix with the nasi kandar..
If you ever come to pahang, especially Jerantut, go for their famous murtabak (murtabak Manja), i can assure you it's the best murtabak you'll ever tasted in Malaysia
You both sound like a Malaysian already hahaha.....by the way, please expect high price at Nasi Kandar restaurant went you order Prawn, Lamb or Sotong (especially the one that got egg one)
Come to Kelantan again iChang, you can find the best murtabak here at every Pasar Malam satisfy guarantee RM3-RM4 with daging or ayam filling not just egg and onion lol. 15:45 yeah even tho without so much meat the key is the spice in Kelantan we use special spices to make delicious murtabak 😁
Ooofff.... When you were ordering the tiger prawn, I was sweating bullets and I could hear my wallet screaming in absolute terror. An old saying "Belum kena, belum tahu... Dah kena lain kali tak mahu" Seafood in Nasi Kandar joints are always reserved for very special occasions and when you get your year end bonus. It is nice to treat yourself once in a long while. Cheer up~
It is not tourist trap. It is normal price. Even us local. Hameediyah has special ingredients different from other Nasi Kandar restaurants. You may watch youtubers like Destinasi TV who did the review while they are cooking it for both of you to know their specialties. If we go to Penang, we will eat there too to taste the signatures. Every Nasi Kandar restaurants have their own specialties. Bon Appetit
Come eat Nasi Kandar in Singapore, definitely just as good at less than one third of 90 dollars for sure! Our murtabak is almost twice as big at the same price, 7 dollars only!
Kuah banjir, campur campur! You’re blending in! Love your video! Honestly RM42 for a prawn is expensive but that’s a Tiger Prawn and its size is gigantic! I think that’s acceptable. Enjoy your nasi kandar
Despite the price, Jimmy and I Chang had been sincere to praise the seafood food that it did actually taste fresh and tasty. The sizes were actually huge. As for the Murtabak, it is standard fare. Good honest review overall ❤
Yes I appreciate them saying both the good and the bad, and the fact that they reasoned the lamb and prawn were premium items and huge therefore warranting such a price... Honestly, if anything, I feel the only 'scam' is the murtabak... I feel embarrassed as an Asian (I'm not Malaysian), that they can't even find a single bit of chicken in it 😖 For that, they should have asked for a refund or something.. it's indefensible
Normally as Malaysians. When we go to mamak for nasi kandar. We stay away from Udang & Sotong because of how pricey it is. Am not a fan of lamb myself so i dunno what the normal rate is. Jimmy and iChang come back to mahbub when you have a chance . The murtabak there is not bad in fact i prefer the ones made by Mahbub. Btw. I think the chicken is minced and added to the egg batter before the cook it and wrap. So chicken might be too small and fine to spot 😁
But to be honest it is their fault because malay say leka..because they are used to low price food and never go to wet market to buy seafood. And taxi driver told them. But never listen. So next day just eat roti and bihun because no budget.
I'm not sure if you guys still in Penang, but hope you can show some love to Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu. They are not featured much on RUclips but it's where Penang people go (not so much tourists). They could use your help 😁
Actually the same thing happened to me when i was in HK Islamic Centre Canteen at Wan Chai in the year 2007. I ordered alot of 'small dishes' and in the end i paid around USD 100 total plus service tax. Let this be a lesson to all of us travelling always ask for the price first and agreed with the vendor.
A copy of receipt, totalling RM106.60, from Penang's oldest nasi kandar restaurant, Hameediyah Restaurant at Campbell Street here, was uploaded by one Huzir Rizal, showing RM100 for two fresh sotong goreng (fried squid) alone with a photograph of the dish. The posting has since gone viral on social media, with netizens criticising the restaurant for its exorbitant priced sotong goreng dish.
Hi Jimmy & iChang, When we were kids (50 years ago!), Hameediyah was affordable and not as famous. Food was tasty, esp. the deep fried chicken. Yes, things have changed A LOT, esp. the price of seafood. We don't go anymore- banned by the wife bcos too expensive. Maybe she will relent when I am on my deathbed. But funerals also expensive...and can eat at Hameediyah (Heaven branch) every day anyway! Thank you for your videos.
Dearest Jimmy & Ichang, i also went to Hameediyah and here's what i ordered as a malaysian style ya Kari Ayam Spicy Whole chicken thigh & drum stick RM8, kambing kari RM8, daging masak kicap RM8, 3 lady finger, telur masin & telur dadar Total is RM30 but still can enjoy Nasi Kandar to the max as well. Yes i usually dont go for the expensive dish in nasi kandar so for this price we check whats the normal meat price then order. Still if its shared by two person and if you are a meat lover its considered normal once a blue moon but not eating as often as daily meal la ya .
Most of the comments spoke about nasi kandar but none mentioning the murtabak! I am from Johor, I studied in Penang. I still remember vividly I was so disappointed when first time tasting northern’s murtabak 😆 it was not THE MURTABAK which was supposed to be filled with loads of chicken/meat 😅 but nonetheless till then I accepted that it was their northern style of murtabak, I have never bought it again 🤣 the northern murtabak is filled with mostly eggs so yeah, you guys should go hunt for the best murtabak!
You made me laughed when you said "lets look for chicken" I hope you found at least a tiny piece or two chicken. 😂 Sorry about the lamb and prawn shock. Indeed for that huge size of prawn and lamb shank its about that price. Some restaurants charge more expensive. I won't order lamb shank or huge prawn at Nasi Kandar restaurants, its too expensive to pay for such environment. I rather dine at a western restaurant and order stew lamb shank, they are tender and juicy. Love you both ❤
He asked you guys , where's you guys from .. because the moment you guys ordered the prawn and lamb in one pinggan . He knew you guys is not from malaysia 🤣.
Seafood at nasi kandar places are expensive even for malaysians :( the most affordable seafood at nasi kandar is fish or lala.. most expensive are crab, squid, prawns!
Yes.. that's why the mamak was looking excited when ichang and jimmy ordered for tiger prawn, (chicken) and lamb shank.. he immediately asked "dari mana?" 😆😆😆 I got that question too when i ordered something strange or unique combination at a new place.
Tiger prawn is easily $15-$20 in Singapore. If its sambal prawns, maybe cheaper. Lambshank is easily $15 to $20. Usually that lambshank can be shared with 2 person. Luckily, you did not buy in Singapore. I prefer to eat Nasi kandar in Malaysia too. Generally, avoid prawn or crab in Indian stall because I don't like it deep fried. But fried fish or curry fish is still not too expensive.
Haha..look at the excitement of the waiters face. The more you add to your plate, his management will make more. The best part they won't keep reminding you about the cost. To me it's like eating a plate of gold. Anyway I hope you enjoyed your meal.
Tiger Prawn and lamb shank are indeed priced like that at the Nasi Kandar ...... People like to take ayam + sayur at Nasi Kandar for a reasonable price :-)
For the standard murtabak, usually they use more eggs for the filling. If not, they have to sell it more expensive. There are higher priced murtabak with more fillings but it would still be a bit drier (because of the eggs) compared to the one you made during covid.
That's normal iChang especially in Hameediyah. The tiger prawn and lamb shank is always expensive. Don't think about the price. Just enjoy your meal. I am sure the same food in Japan will cost double that.
Our family went to Hameediyah yesterday in Penang. The food was awesome. We can neva deny that. Yes...my brother in law took the lamb shank without checking the price menu. My sis gave the same advice that all of u gv. Neva take seafoods especially in nasi kandar shop. N pls refer to price menu if u r nt familiar with the place...

Nasi Kandar is not cheap compared to many other meals available in Malaysia. I can imagine your surprise at the price but it's not a tourist trap as it applies to Malaysians as well. Looking at what you took, I'll be happy with just the chicken, vegetables and salted egg. The large tiger prawn and lamb shank are luxurious items I can do without...unless if I win the lottery.
Don’t be shy to ask them to plate the meat items (especially lamb shank)individually on separate small plates. I’m always amazed by the oversized portions 😮
Nasi kandar is ok but please stick the basic 'Ayam or Chicken". The mamak guy will always promote Sotong / Squid,..Udang / Prawn, ...Kambing or Lamb Shanks which will be very expensive and also be carefull with Fish Head curry... ( Bad experience at Hameediah Restaurant )
Don't worry iChang and Jimmy. It's not a tourist trap. I've experience it before. Seafood at nasi kandar as well as lamb are usually pricey. That's why when I go nasi kandar I usually just eat rice, kuah campur, some vege, egg, and fried chicken only 😅

Thank you for sharing your thoughts from this experience. It’s useful to those of us, like me, who may not be familiar and now we know - ask first for the price for prawn, lamb shank and sotong 😅. Sometimes with long queues behind me, I hesitate to ask as I feel bad that I am holding back the queue. But better to ask than be caught off guard.

Go to pasar malam in Kuala Selangor, there is a stall called 'Pak Din' murtabak and his murtabak is pretty nice and very popular among the local here🥰 We usually buy it during Ramadhan, it was so gooood~ (and cheap also)
You two should do the usual technique "food order by others observation" before your turn to order. This will help a lot when travelling to an unfamiliar place. I like the lady walked past iChang when going for seats, she knows the meal cost a lot 🤣🤣🤣. Anyhow, hope both of you enjoy ya!
The thing you have to remember when eating nasi kandar is not to order prawn, squid or crab and fish head (if you are not sure how much it costs) because they can be very expensive , even local rarely order it unless you want to indulge
The Prawn is a luxury food for rich people and yes it's expensive ,but the lamb is actually a normal price in Malaysia
Im eat a lamb shank stew also cost me rm48 in 2010 now 2022
Last month, during my first eating experience at Hameediyah with my family, I told them not to order seafood and lamb 😆 because I know how pricy it would be. Our fav at hameediyah would be the Ayam Bawang 👍 Really good 🤤
Good evening Ichang and Jymmy. So happy that you are both enjoying the many foodies in Malaysia. What you ordered here are at least for 3 to 4 person to share by most of the local folks. That tiger prawn price in the grocery frozen should be around RM25 to RM30+ before cooking. The meal pricing will depends on which restaurants that you are visiting. Stay healthy and looking forward to your next posting.
Correct. I agree with your fair comment! People who claim that the prawn is expensive have never been to the market.. that's an at least 150g 200g prawn. So most people (who have never bought such a thing in their entire lives) knock it just because they don't know the true market value.. uuurghhh. But talk like champions! 🤷♀️🤭
Welcome to the shocking world of Nasi Kandar. Never try never know. I am Malaysian, very cautions when taking Nasi Kandar dishes >.
That true. I agree with you
Poor iChang. Her mood soured tremendously after paying for that meal. But its true, seafood is expensive wherever you go. Even though Malaysia is surrounded by ocean, seafood prices kept on rising year by year a.k.a. source is getting scarce. Also, mamak is actually more expensive compared to other local restaurant. Similar to why 7/11 is more expensive compared to other grocer. For example, a fried drumstick thats priced at RM3.50 at another restaurant might cost RM5.00 at mamak's. Thats just how it is.
Yes. It's ridiculous to pay Rm114 for one meal. It could be for 2 days meal in Malaysia.
unless ure in Sabah. ( used to be cheap but nowadays everything is pricier sigh)
Understand that seafood is expensive. But 40 plus rm for 1 udang is really rip off... ridiculous
The moment you pick the prawn & lamb shank, I already pray for your money. Don't worry it's not a tourist trap, it's luxuries even for us.
Cute nanny.. blessings all the joys and happiness to your family..n grandpa too..
In my opinion, the high charge on nasi kandar at hameediyah is too much and not fair to the service they provide. You have to queue and bring your own food to other place. That is not fair.
usually there are expensive mamak shops. but it depends on how many menus u guys take. Example squid , lamb shank , prawns are really expensive.. so you have to always remember that..
The cost is also high. I think they charge reasonably
I used to take 2 of their prawn, was so shocked when I want to pay, I even contact their manager. Turns out it really is their price, they wrote it at their board, I think. But regardless, it is so delicious, and you will have an unforgettable story to tell. You have eaten the most Expensive Nasi Kandar in your life.
Such an optimistic person you are. Haha yeah sometimes we learn life lesson from the very unexpected event
@@hobieyuto7516 Optimistic when you have money… If you have like RM20 in your bank account and 0 on person, that is the most harrowing experience you’ll ever face… Lol..
@@HafidzMurshidie 😂😂 thats true also
I was there 2 weeks ago. I did spot the lamb shank and giant prawns. I also saw the price list on the wall, $42 and $40. You weren’t trapped but those are indulgent items. Though tempted, I didn’t order either of those items. Maybe I should have ordered the lamb shank. Now, I won’t know how good they taste until my next trip to Penang. Regrets!!!
The food both of you ordered & consumed are more pricey items among the NASI KANDAR range as costs of food items are much more costly nowadays. It's a law in M'sia to display prices of every food item in the restaurant premise for consumers to choose. Moreover, our currency is still more competitive compared to our neighbouring countries. Still more affordable than others. Enjoy your stay here & take care. Domo arigato gazaimas for visiting PENANG in particular & MALAYSIA in general....
I'm from Penang, and that is how I see uncles there cooking murtabak since the 80s.
That is the correct way of making murtabak.
Prices do differ, but in general sea food is expensive compared to chicken. There are different styles of Murtabak and they do taste different from each other depending on their own recipe. So don't take this Murtabak as representing Murtabak in general. Yes, its good to ask the prices before odering seafood.
Enjoy your food hunting 😋
For nasi kandar, avoid ordering sotong(ika) or udang(ebi),because its too expensive. Any nasi kandar will be the same. But of course hameediyah is more expensive since the prawn is gigantic. So we as locals usually order chicken/beef only for reasonable price 😅
Fish head also avoid, chicken n beef is more reasonable. But the lamb shank is ok la for 40 if u lamb lover, u pay more in restaurant
Actually not all, but most of them. If you are in Penang, and craving for nasi kandar with sotong/udang sides, can go to Sulaiman. I can guarantee their price won’t hurt your pocket ☺️
@@phoenixjentayu2633 Thanks for the tip 👍🏼😊
that's absolutely correct! Whenever I go to nasi kandar shop, I will order chicken and kubis only. maybe I don't eat seafood/lamb/beef so overall is still okay for me.
That was the price for such item.
The Large size Tiger Prawn at Nasi Kandar in Penang is usually cost RM20~RM40 depends on the location.
Last time when one of my japanese friend came to Penang and i bring her to Hameediyah but it was too long queue ,so we went to NASI KANDAR KAPITAN MAJU ,the prawn was RM20 each and she tooks two. They also have big squid and crab cost RM50 each there as well.
Kat hameediyah seekor udang harimau RM40
Cost of that giant prawn with out the spices and manpower is already rm 20 at the market
Nasi kandar klu nak murah..ELAKKAN udang, ketam, lamb shank or sesetengah jenis ikan..Just ambik ayam je.Confirm tak mahal.Nak selamat, tanye dulu harge baru amik..
@@DonDon-iz8zc tapi bagi umi dan abah saya lain pula.. dia tak kisah nak makan apa-apa pun asalkan makanan tu habis dimakan... Sebab makanan tu beli pakai duit bukannya daun...
@@deathlovenote6867 agak sekor 40 x ke babi mahal mcm tu
It is standard price for Lamb Shank or Tiger Prawn to be RM40+. Normal people don't order lamb shank. Rich people do 😜
It looks divine
For local, if we really crave for seafood at nasi kandar place, most we go for is fish and regular size sotong. We knew well tiger prawn and lamb shank are considered premium item 😀. It's OK sometimes to spend more than budget on food. It's an experience and worth it for the quality and quantity.
mamak stall always expensive when you order something special, especially when you order something that is not common people eat. To avoid expensive, avoid lamb, sotong, big fish, and seafoods. They like to recommend expensive food when they know you are foreigner.
Jimmy, the taste of murtabak varies from 1 place to another. The malay murtabak where you can get at Pasar Malam are usually delicious than at mamak’s. And the ones made at home is always The Best! 👍🏼💪🏾
Jimmy, i feel you when eat 'egg murtabak' 😂 maybe you can try the real chicken/beef murtabak at pasar manir, kuala terengganu
Exactly, i believe we have many places which sell good and delicious murtabak.
tengok tempat jugak kalo nasi kandar ni
scam on food in Malaysia ......hahaha. Don't come to Malaysia again. MALAYSIA CASH IS KING
Indian murtabak is tastier and authentic when cimpare with ciplak version the so called malay murtabak
16 years ago same hameediyah, 1 small fried chicken..+ white rice, no gravy zero nothing (for my 4 year old kid) they charged me RM20! This was when line clear, was only charging RM3-4 for the same damn set! I've never gone again to this cut throat restaurant!!!!!
There are other restaurants in penang that's 10 x better, never again at this restaurant. 😤
*The food on your plate was more than enough for a family of 5. Husband, wife and 3 small children..and it's eaten on husband's payday ( + finally he received a salary increment after working like crazy for many many years)..hehe. Most locals don't even go near the lamb shank as it's too pricey and even on weddings if there's roast lamb served for the guests, we're only given slivers of that meat. Yea..small pieces only. When it comes to prawn, shockingly that was huge and we Malaysians never even had the chance to touch it before. What you had there was enough to make someone full for the next 3-4 days* 🤭🤭
Hi iChang and Jimmy don't worry, you are paying a good price for good food. Normally prawn and sotong are a bit expensive in Nasi Kandar restaurant. Local people normally ordered chicken and beef, and once in awhile we order sotong and prawn.
Different states in Malaysia have different murtabak what you are having is murtabak mamak style(Penang). When you travel to other states pls try murtabak esp the ones made by malay restaurant. For examples in Pahang there are at least more than 3 types. The chicken they used mostly are in the form of mincemeat thats why you could not find chicken meats.
That is why you hardly see Malaysian take prawn and lamb shank as dish for Nasi Kandar. Now officially, I pronounce you as very rich couple 😅 in Malaysia. Well done 😂
😅
Please don't support mamak restaurants who charge crazy prices...there are too many choices out there that mamak selling in reasonable price...this is not about inflation but they take for granted....
Usually ppl try avoid pickup huge prawn & huge sotong due to price there. This is pantang larang when go to nasi kandar / mamak. But sometime why not if have extra budget / wanna experience/ self rewards 😂
Tiger prawn is anywhere between RM40-RM60/kg at wet markets. Bigger size = higher price/kg. Lamb shank is expensive. For me, RM40 for that size of a lamb shank is definitely worth it, but I understand the feeling when you weren't expecting to spend that much over a meal, but had to fork out money anyway. The meat looks soft. Now I want to pujuk my husband to take me there.
🤤🤤
Its true Jimmy.. your version of murtabak is home made.. usually we make it generously at home. If they sell murtabak with generous chicken and meat, the price would have gone up even higher..
Hi..so happy that u enjoying the many foodies at Malaysia .. looking forward to yr next video....
Reasonably commented and I felt it is an honest description ( be it the pricing or the quality of the food ) at this Hameediyah Nasi Kandar restaurant at Gerorgetown - Penang. Wishing both of you good food tasting and great holidays too.
Sometimes the simple ones are the best. Just ayam, sayur and kuah campur is the best nasi kandar mix. Even for murtabak, often the best ones are the cheap ones at the pasar malam.
Fyi, Hameediyah particularly their main restaurant in Chulia St is known for being the most expensive Nasi Kandar in this country as far as I knew. In fact their branches prices like Ampang and others are equally quite high. But again they are known for their original recipe and expensive spices used. They mix their own spices instead of buying a ready made spice from others. Thats why we recommend you to try Yusof Restaurant in Paya Terubung in another video of yours just to get another dimension.
Mai mana chulia street pulak dah, Campbell street la Pak mie
Jimmy and Ichang, Nasi Kandar is well-known for its pricey dishes. We Malaysians have a rule when eating Nasi Kandar, never choose more than two dishes (that includes vegetables) if you want cheap Nasi Kandar. But here you took a lamb shank and a tiger prawn. I know most Malaysians are smiling like heck when you were ordering.
Nasi kandar wasn't 'well known for it's pricey dish'. If you order a piece of beef, one fried egg, vege, 2 ladyfinger + extra rice it won't cost more than rm10 in Penang. If you replace the beef to the whole thigh and drumstick, the price was around rm10-12. That's a reasonable price. What made nasi kandar expensive was seafood.
hahahaha. tats why i dont eat Nasi Kandar.
Usually we eat any rice with one 'lauk', one 'kari' and one 'sayur' only... Very jimat...
me too. i wont order seafood and lambs in nasi kandar. Famous for pricey
@@kimipang2602 me too. Even if you take fish already cost pricey
In Singapore, when we order cai fan (economy rice), we don't dare to order fish. Same reason. Great channel. New fan.
Usually for daily consumption of NK
Plain rice, mixed gravy, 1pc omelette, 2 lady fingers and plain water/ice tea/coffee. Rm10
Hameediyah,finally..one of Penang's best and finest Nasi Kandar..the side dishes can be super expensive,depends on what did you choose to mix with the nasi kandar..
It's not tourist trap. We locals pay the same price there.
You guys missed the Rendang Daging. As a kid where I grow up in Penang, the beef rendang at Hameediyah is a ‘MUST EAT’ food.
Thanks
Than you ☺️❤️
If you ever come to pahang, especially Jerantut, go for their famous murtabak (murtabak Manja), i can assure you it's the best murtabak you'll ever tasted in Malaysia
You both sound like a Malaysian already hahaha.....by the way, please expect high price at Nasi Kandar restaurant went you order Prawn, Lamb or Sotong (especially the one that got egg one)
Come to Kelantan again iChang, you can find the best murtabak here at every Pasar Malam satisfy guarantee RM3-RM4 with daging or ayam filling not just egg and onion lol. 15:45 yeah even tho without so much meat the key is the spice in Kelantan we use special spices to make delicious murtabak 😁
Wow so murtabak is original Malaysia food ? I'm curious 🧐
Ooofff.... When you were ordering the tiger prawn, I was sweating bullets and I could hear my wallet screaming in absolute terror. An old saying "Belum kena, belum tahu... Dah kena lain kali tak mahu"
Seafood in Nasi Kandar joints are always reserved for very special occasions and when you get your year end bonus. It is nice to treat yourself once in a long while. Cheer up~
I'm very happy to see when you come somewhere and your subscriber is there 😂 and they can be very helpful to you like the abang 👍👍
jimmy n ichang is kindda superstar celebrity at malaysia... everyone drop by to say hello..
It is not tourist trap. It is normal price. Even us local. Hameediyah has special ingredients different from other Nasi Kandar restaurants. You may watch youtubers like Destinasi TV who did the review while they are cooking it for both of you to know their specialties. If we go to Penang, we will eat there too to taste the signatures. Every Nasi Kandar restaurants have their own specialties. Bon Appetit
Yeay.....Hameediyah is unique and not like any other typical nasi kandar shop.....
If I not mistaken, the lamb shank also cost around RM40 at Secret Recipe restaurant. Never order, only look at it 😆
thank you jimmy and ichang for the honest review...
keep continue making video...
I really enjoy you food outing together....
Come eat Nasi Kandar in Singapore, definitely just as good at less than one third of 90 dollars for sure! Our murtabak is almost twice as big at the same price, 7 dollars only!
Kuah banjir, campur campur! You’re blending in! Love your video! Honestly RM42 for a prawn is expensive but that’s a Tiger Prawn and its size is gigantic! I think that’s acceptable. Enjoy your nasi kandar
Despite the price, Jimmy and I Chang had been sincere to praise the seafood food that it did actually taste fresh and tasty. The sizes were actually huge. As for the Murtabak, it is standard fare. Good honest review overall ❤
Yes I appreciate them saying both the good and the bad, and the fact that they reasoned the lamb and prawn were premium items and huge therefore warranting such a price...
Honestly, if anything, I feel the only 'scam' is the murtabak... I feel embarrassed as an Asian (I'm not Malaysian), that they can't even find a single bit of chicken in it 😖 For that, they should have asked for a refund or something.. it's indefensible
Normally as Malaysians. When we go to mamak for nasi kandar. We stay away from Udang & Sotong because of how pricey it is. Am not a fan of lamb myself so i dunno what the normal rate is. Jimmy and iChang come back to mahbub when you have a chance . The murtabak there is not bad in fact i prefer the ones made by Mahbub. Btw. I think the chicken is minced and added to the egg batter before the cook it and wrap. So chicken might be too small and fine to spot 😁
We even the locals didn't never ever buy those sides haha
How to afford
@@keangwooichoo6138 Be a Singaporean lol
@@AminNazari666 1 dollar = 4.6, 1 sgd = 3.3.
But to be honest it is their fault because malay say leka..because they are used to low price food and never go to wet market to buy seafood. And taxi driver told them. But never listen. So next day just eat roti and bihun because no budget.
You guys should try Murtabak Mengkasar from Pekan, Pahang. And come to Kedah, nasi kandar very cheap here in Alor Setar! 💜
I'm not sure if you guys still in Penang, but hope you can show some love to Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu. They are not featured much on RUclips but it's where Penang people go (not so much tourists). They could use your help 😁
Actually the same thing happened to me when i was in HK Islamic Centre Canteen at Wan Chai in the year 2007. I ordered alot of 'small dishes' and in the end i paid around USD 100 total plus service tax. Let this be a lesson to all of us travelling always ask for the price first and agreed with the vendor.
Ichang the 1 that u see is murtabak filling..there are many style of murtabak filling in malaysia..this is mamak style
According to my Pulau Pinangite univ. mate, each NK spot has its own unique dish. Like Hameediyah its Ayam Bawang, which I agree with him...
A copy of receipt, totalling RM106.60, from Penang's oldest nasi kandar restaurant, Hameediyah Restaurant at Campbell Street here, was uploaded by one Huzir Rizal, showing RM100 for two fresh sotong goreng (fried squid) alone with a photograph of the dish.
The posting has since gone viral on social media, with netizens criticising the restaurant for its exorbitant priced sotong goreng dish.
Hi Jimmy & iChang, When we were kids (50 years ago!), Hameediyah was affordable and not as famous. Food was tasty, esp. the deep fried chicken. Yes, things have changed A LOT, esp. the price of seafood. We don't go anymore- banned by the wife bcos too expensive. Maybe she will relent when I am on my deathbed. But funerals also expensive...and can eat at Hameediyah (Heaven branch) every day anyway! Thank you for your videos.
Dearest Jimmy & Ichang, i also went to Hameediyah and here's what i ordered as a malaysian style ya Kari Ayam Spicy Whole chicken thigh & drum stick RM8, kambing kari RM8, daging masak kicap RM8, 3 lady finger, telur masin & telur dadar Total is RM30 but still can enjoy Nasi Kandar to the max as well. Yes i usually dont go for the expensive dish in nasi kandar so for this price we check whats the normal meat price then order. Still if its shared by two person and if you are a meat lover its considered normal once a blue moon but not eating as often as daily meal la ya .
Most of the comments spoke about nasi kandar but none mentioning the murtabak! I am from Johor, I studied in Penang. I still remember vividly I was so disappointed when first time tasting northern’s murtabak 😆 it was not THE MURTABAK which was supposed to be filled with loads of chicken/meat 😅 but nonetheless till then I accepted that it was their northern style of murtabak, I have never bought it again 🤣 the northern murtabak is filled with mostly eggs so yeah, you guys should go hunt for the best murtabak!
sy faham maksud awk... sbb sy pn asal dri Johor..!!!..😅 Kebanyakkannya lebih tlur dri bhan utama..!!!
Murtabak Kelantan sedap 🤤
@@Xeras10 iya.. kelantan punya pn sdap..!!! 😇
Original murtabak is like that.....big chunks of meat in murtabak are fakers......
ye murtabak hameediah memang kurang sedap berbanding mertabak lain
. kadang2 murtabak pasar mlm lagi sedap.
You made me laughed when you said "lets look for chicken" I hope you found at least a tiny piece or two chicken. 😂 Sorry about the lamb and prawn shock. Indeed for that huge size of prawn and lamb shank its about that price. Some restaurants charge more expensive. I won't order lamb shank or huge prawn at Nasi Kandar restaurants, its too expensive to pay for such environment. I rather dine at a western restaurant and order stew lamb shank, they are tender and juicy. Love you both ❤
He asked you guys , where's you guys from .. because the moment you guys ordered the prawn and lamb in one pinggan . He knew you guys is not from malaysia 🤣.
Seafood at nasi kandar places are expensive even for malaysians :( the most affordable seafood at nasi kandar is fish or lala.. most expensive are crab, squid, prawns!
In nasi kandar shop, lamb shank, huge prawn and huge squid will be expensive. So ask the price first.
a normal local will seldom take the 3 kings from nasi kandar - crab, sotong, prawn
Yes.. that's why the mamak was looking excited when ichang and jimmy ordered for tiger prawn, (chicken) and lamb shank.. he immediately asked "dari mana?" 😆😆😆
I got that question too when i ordered something strange or unique combination at a new place.
@@salmighazali917 And took a pic of her too !! 😅😅
Only 1 of kings on payday
Tiger prawn is easily $15-$20 in Singapore. If its sambal prawns, maybe cheaper. Lambshank is easily $15 to $20. Usually that lambshank can be shared with 2 person. Luckily, you did not buy in Singapore. I prefer to eat Nasi kandar in Malaysia too.
Generally, avoid prawn or crab in Indian stall because I don't like it deep fried. But fried fish or curry fish is still not too expensive.
Di Sabah ni kalau mau makan Seafood cari jak mana2 pasar malam..kalau direstoran memang mahal. tambah2 lamb shank tu...weiii harga kayangan tu hahaha
Haha..look at the excitement of the waiters face. The more you add to your plate, his management will make more. The best part they won't keep reminding you about the cost. To me it's like eating a plate of gold. Anyway I hope you enjoyed your meal.
Tiger Prawn and lamb shank are indeed priced like that at the Nasi Kandar ...... People like to take ayam + sayur at Nasi Kandar for a reasonable price :-)
For the standard murtabak, usually they use more eggs for the filling. If not, they have to sell it more expensive. There are higher priced murtabak with more fillings but it would still be a bit drier (because of the eggs) compared to the one you made during covid.
RM15 for the meatless murtabak is definitely not worth it and overrated ...
That's normal iChang especially in Hameediyah. The tiger prawn and lamb shank is always expensive. Don't think about the price. Just enjoy your meal. I am sure the same food in Japan will cost double that.
Our family went to Hameediyah yesterday in Penang. The food was awesome. We can neva deny that. Yes...my brother in law took the lamb shank without checking the price menu. My sis gave the same advice that all of u gv. Neva take seafoods especially in nasi kandar shop. N pls refer to price menu if u r nt familiar with the place...

Once in a blue moon, I would order a Nasi Kandar and ask for all the expensive dishes. Sometimes it is worth it.. Haha
