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..
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! 😊
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..
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
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!!!
@@user-ku2gy5dh8q 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 😁
@@user-ku2gy5dh8q 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.
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!
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.
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 😅
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 🤤
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)
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
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! 😂
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! 🤷♀️🤭
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....
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.
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 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 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 CZcams but it's where Penang people go (not so much tourists). They could use your help 😁
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...
I read some of the comments written down as well as hearing the admin judgement on the food . Thanks to my dear Jimmy & I Chang for the sincere but diplomatic review .
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.
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..
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.
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.
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..
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 😋
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...
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!
Remember at all nasi kandar restaurant, all price for lamb shank average 35 -50.. Tiger prawn 20 - 45 depends on the size.. Chicken 5 - 15 depends on size and type of dishes.. u take cabbage also 2 -4.. Salt egg 1 -2..
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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! 👍🏼💪🏾
For locals (penangites) they will order, beef/chicken, salted egg, cabai/okra and kuah campur(avoid kuah manis) only..thats the good old styles nasi kandaq.
We usually only ordered rice, fried chicken, kobis / bendi with kuah campur everytime we eat nasi kandar. Next time only ordered these to save your pocket and enjoy your meal at full taste
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. 🤤🤤
*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* 🤭🤭
Sometimes its better to ask the price first. I had sambal goreng (the tempeh and long beans dish), terung (egg plant) and a bergedil (fried potato patties), and a serving of white rice, at a stall in an Arab Street coffee shop in Singapore. The price was S$17.00. (Rm51.00) Not a huge shock but, the sting is there. The server, with a calculator, worked out an average of 3 - 4 dollars per servings for the bill. It was my sampling of that food, due to the popularity, and recommendations from friends. There's always a queue at the stall, with each customer buying a few packets to take away, or placing order for their group. Other than it being pricey, the food was done well, hence its popularity. I often hear the adage "When the food is good, I don't mind paying the price." The next time I go there, I'll be more careful of what I am willing to pay for. Probably just rendang and rice.
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 😂
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 😮
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...
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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..
Salah satu makanan dr pelbagai budaya di Malaysia. Indahnya kepelbagaian kaum di Malaysia. Cuma, mgkin bukan salah satu kegemaran aku Nasi Kandaq ni. Bukan sebab harga. Tp tekak tak berkenan. Cuma..kalau dah harga smpai beratus..aku fkir lg baik aku spend the same amount untuk makanan yg aku rasa lebih aku enjoy nk makan. Kena pari bakar, nasi putih (tambah) ,pastu sambal cecah.. Lebih murah drpda kos Nasi Kandar IChang makan kt vdeo ni..huhu.. Byt anyway..good luck semua .. Nk makan..makan je.. Tekak masing2 xde halang.. iChang pn x tahu harga dia smpai cmtu..so no komen ler...
They are notorious for overcharging anyway. The ones in KL used to overcharge anytime they can, but have been disciplined by the authority and the masses. The one in Penang and Kedah still do it.
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.
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.
You have to ask for the price before you take or many sellers will take advantage. In Malaysia enforcement and regulations on eating outlets are very poor.
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 .
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.
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.
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!
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
On the receipt, it wasn't chicken murtabak, it was written meat murtabak, or we call as beef murtabak. Sarawak people could take spicy too. We really need to check the price always if that certain place is new to you, we always get shocked if we don't check the price.
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
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)
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
When you imagine that RM90+ can feed 3 people quite luxuriously, it doesnt feel that expensive. Juicy whole chicken leg, Big lamb shank, Big juicy prawn. Yum!
It’s about $30 SG about RM100 for that great food in Singapore too as lamb shank biryani cost $15.00 SG about RM45 so it much more affordable to the income of ordinary Singaporeans.
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.
Lamb Shank, Super Jumbo prawn, Big Ayam Goreng, all the high price items...RM94 price tag is the same as other restaurant or shops if u select the same thing
i just want to clarify , if you want go to mamak & eat . just dont take any kind of seafood ,lamb & head fish curry at the same time .. the price will shock you 😂 i've been there ,trust me
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..
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.
Hi Ichang, So nice to meet you in person at the airport today, Do feel free to contact us if you are planning to come by Singapore anytime ! Safe trip and enjoy all good food.
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~
Jimmy & Ichang took a luxury nasi kandar because of tiger prawn and lamb shank. These two dishes are very expensive for Malaysians too. That's why we Malaysians just order simple dishes like chicken & veggies only when eaten at nasi kandar restaurants.
It is definitely not a tourist trap, prawns are the most expensive, fish head & squids as well, you can always check their prices before you want it, don’t be shy to ask how much before you want it badly, Hameediyah is one of the most famous Nani Kandar in Penang. I been there once, I ordered a squid & asked for the price, came to around $45.00 but when I went to pay for it, the6 charged me $65, I wasn’t happy over it & asked the food seller about the price, confirmed it was $45, in the end got back $20 back.
To be rich in Malaysia is not defined by the luxury cars you drive but the sides you have in your nasi kandar
agreee
😂😂
Kalau aku mikir dok nk ambik lamb tu😂
Also when you order lok lok or conveyor belt sushi without looking at the colours.
buying grocery without even looking at the price tag
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.
Agreed
Normally arab tourists buy the seafood!
sama la .. haha
dah lebih 20 tahun tak pernah makan udang harimau, apatah lagi nak ceduk dekat restoran, memang tak laa 😭
That is a very big prawn too
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..

Unless in Sabah. Seafood still pricey, but not as expensive as in KL or other midland areas.

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! 🤷♀️🤭

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.
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 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.
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
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.
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 CZcams but it's where Penang people go (not so much tourists). They could use your help 😁
jimmy n ichang is kindda superstar celebrity at malaysia... everyone drop by to say hello..
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. :)
Yes. Even fresh at the market is already rm10++ per prawn etc
Yeppp… it’s not abt the tourist… local also will get that price… it’s abt the size… the bigger the more holes in ur wallet 😝😝😝
Makanan orang kaya😂😂😂
@@sonnykhoo7236 hahaha...betul tu bang😂😂
@@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...
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
I read some of the comments written down as well as hearing the admin judgement on the food .
Thanks to my dear Jimmy & I Chang for the sincere but diplomatic review .
Cute nanny.. blessings all the joys and happiness to your family..n grandpa too..
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.
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
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.
Enjoy your stay in Malaysia!
Waaa! Thank you sooo much!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥳

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
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
In Singapore, when we order cai fan (economy rice), we don't dare to order fish. Same reason. Great channel. New fan.
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 😋
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

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!
Remember at all nasi kandar restaurant, all price for lamb shank average 35 -50..
Tiger prawn 20 - 45 depends on the size..
Chicken 5 - 15 depends on size and type of dishes.. u take cabbage also 2 -4..
Salt egg 1 -2..
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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
For locals (penangites) they will order, beef/chicken, salted egg, cabai/okra and kuah campur(avoid kuah manis) only..thats the good old styles nasi kandaq.
We usually only ordered rice, fried chicken, kobis / bendi with kuah campur everytime we eat nasi kandar. Next time only ordered these to save your pocket and enjoy your meal at full taste
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.
🤤🤤
It's not tourist trap. We locals pay the same price there.
*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* 🤭🤭
Sometimes its better to ask the price first.
I had sambal goreng (the tempeh and long beans dish), terung (egg plant) and a bergedil (fried potato patties), and a serving of white rice, at a stall in an Arab Street coffee shop in Singapore.
The price was S$17.00. (Rm51.00)
Not a huge shock but, the sting is there.
The server, with a calculator, worked out an average of 3 - 4 dollars per servings for the bill.
It was my sampling of that food, due to the popularity, and recommendations from friends.
There's always a queue at the stall, with each customer buying a few packets to take away, or placing order for their group.
Other than it being pricey, the food was done well, hence its popularity.
I often hear the adage "When the food is good, I don't mind paying the price."
The next time I go there, I'll be more careful of what I am willing to pay for.
Probably just rendang and rice.
Hameediyah is the expensive ones. Dont go there. Lots of other places taste good. But u can try.
It's okay iChang and Jimmy. I belanja you sikit.

You guys should try Murtabak Mengkasar from Pekan, Pahang. And come to Kedah, nasi kandar very cheap here in Alor Setar! 💜
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 😂
😅
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 😮
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...
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
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.
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 😂
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.
Hi Jimmy, that 1x pc of lamb shank will cost about SGD22. (22x 3.5) = $77RM.. so its very very reasonable. Enjoy the taste and Malaysia.
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.
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..
Salah satu makanan dr pelbagai budaya di Malaysia. Indahnya kepelbagaian kaum di Malaysia. Cuma, mgkin bukan salah satu kegemaran aku Nasi Kandaq ni.
Bukan sebab harga. Tp tekak tak berkenan.
Cuma..kalau dah harga smpai beratus..aku fkir lg baik aku spend the same amount untuk makanan yg aku rasa lebih aku enjoy nk makan. Kena pari bakar, nasi putih (tambah) ,pastu sambal cecah..
Lebih murah drpda kos Nasi Kandar IChang makan kt vdeo ni..huhu..
Byt anyway..good luck semua ..
Nk makan..makan je.. Tekak masing2 xde halang.. iChang pn x tahu harga dia smpai cmtu..so no komen ler...
They are notorious for overcharging anyway. The ones in KL used to overcharge anytime they can, but have been disciplined by the authority and the masses. The one in Penang and Kedah still do it.
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.
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
You have to ask for the price before you take or many sellers will take advantage. In Malaysia enforcement and regulations on eating outlets are very poor.
I like your husband. He's using his logic before emotion.
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 .
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.
Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu Ichang will must come someday.
i will recommend you coming in morning
Allahu.. comeynya suara awek2 jepun ni. Lembut cm tu. Manja.. Gugur iman. Hahahah
You both should try Nasi Kandar Kampung Melayu in Penang! That's the best nasi kandar in Penang!
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
Really like watching both of you! Enjoy yourself !
Thank you very much 🙏🏻😊
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!
If you want to be looking rich in malaysia.. Eat nasi kandar with cuttlefish, prawn, lambshank, fish head.. Superb..
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.
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
On the receipt, it wasn't chicken murtabak, it was written meat murtabak, or we call as beef murtabak. Sarawak people could take spicy too. We really need to check the price always if that certain place is new to you, we always get shocked if we don't check the price.
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
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)
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.....
When you imagine that RM90+ can feed 3 people quite luxuriously, it doesnt feel that expensive.
Juicy whole chicken leg,
Big lamb shank,
Big juicy prawn.
Yum!
It’s about $30 SG about RM100 for that great food in Singapore too as lamb shank biryani cost $15.00 SG about RM45 so it much more affordable to the income of ordinary Singaporeans.
If I not mistaken, the lamb shank also cost around RM40 at Secret Recipe restaurant. Never order, only look at it 😆
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.
Lamb Shank, Super Jumbo prawn, Big Ayam Goreng, all the high price items...RM94 price tag is the same as other restaurant or shops if u select the same thing
i just want to clarify , if you want go to mamak & eat . just dont take any kind of seafood ,lamb & head fish curry at the same time .. the price will shock you 😂
i've been there ,trust me
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..
So funny when Jimmy said "We not normal". 😂😂😂 Now I now both of them do care about the prices.
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.
Hi Ichang, So nice to meet you in person at the airport today, Do feel free to contact us if you are planning to come by Singapore anytime ! Safe trip and enjoy all good food.
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~
Jimmy & Ichang took a luxury nasi kandar because of tiger prawn and lamb shank. These two dishes are very expensive for Malaysians too. That's why we Malaysians just order simple dishes like chicken & veggies only when eaten at nasi kandar restaurants.
Hahahaah
It is definitely not a tourist trap, prawns are the most expensive, fish head & squids as well, you can always check their prices before you want it, don’t be shy to ask how much before you want it badly, Hameediyah is one of the most famous Nani Kandar in Penang.
I been there once, I ordered a squid & asked for the price, came to around $45.00 but when I went to pay for it, the6 charged me $65, I wasn’t happy over it & asked the food seller about the price, confirmed it was $45, in the end got back $20 back.
PRICE IS REASONABLE ....,
HAMEDEEYAH IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE....
