About

Restoran Nasi Kandar Pelita, located along Jalan Ampang just minutes from KLCC and Petronas Twin Towers, is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most famous eateries. A favorite among both locals and international tourists, Pelita has earned its reputation for authentic Malaysian flavors, affordable meals, and efficient service—making it a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the city.



Menu Highlights


The restaurant is best known for its nasi kandar, where diners pair Nasi Putih (steamed white rice) with a wide variety of flavorful side dishes. Popular choices include:

Ayam Goreng – crispy marinated fried chicken

  • Ayam Kari – rich chicken curry with bold spices
  • Ayam Sambal – chicken in spicy chili sambal
  • Udang Kari – prawns simmered in curry sauce
  • Ikan Tenggiri Goreng – fried mackerel, perfectly seasoned
  • Mee Goreng & Nasi Goreng – quick, hearty noodle and rice options


Must-Try Local Favorites


No visit to Pelita is complete without sampling Malaysia’s most iconic comfort food:

  • Roti Canai (RM2–RM3 per piece) – a soft, flaky flatbread served with dhal (lentil curry), chicken curry, or fish curry. Perfect as breakfast, supper, or even a light snack.
  • Teh Tarik (RM2–RM3 per glass) – Malaysia’s national drink, a frothy “pulled tea” made with black tea and condensed milk. Tourists love watching it being theatrically “pulled” from cup to cup before serving.


These two classics are not only budget-friendly but also give visitors a true taste of Malaysian food culture.



Ambience & Dining Experience


Pelita’s casual, lively setting mirrors a traditional Malaysian eatery. Its spacious layout suits both solo travelers and groups, while the 24-hour operation (at many outlets) makes it an ideal stop whether for a late-night supper or an early breakfast after sightseeing.


Price Range

  • Light meals/snacks (Roti Canai + Teh Tarik): ~RM5–RM7 (USD1–1.50)
  • Full nasi kandar meal with chicken/seafood sides: ~RM12–RM20 (USD2.50–4.50)


With its central location, vibrant atmosphere, and wide menu, Restoran Nasi Kandar Pelita is one of the best places in Kuala Lumpur to experience Malaysian food culture without breaking the budget.
