If you’re a Nasi Kandar connoisseur and ever found yourself in Jakarta and craving the iconic Malaysian Tamil Muslim dish, fret not as there’s actually a new Nasi Kandar joint in the Indonesian capital!

Going viral online with over 3 million views as of the time of writing, Indonesian food content creator @nyamwithinop took to TikTok to share her experience dining at the first-ever Nasi Kandar restaurant in Jakarta, Kedai Nasi Kandar by Empat Sekawan at LCC Adityawarman lt. 2, South Jakarta.

@nyamwithinop shared that like Nasi Kandar in Malaysia, there are various curry gravies on offer at the restaurant, all of which don’t put in coconut milk for more “oomph”.

Malaysians look for Indonesian food in Malaysia, Indonesians look for nasi kandar in Indonesia

Rather expectedly, many Malaysians were present in the comments section, sharing their views on the Nasi Kandar offerings at the Jakarta restaurant.

One commenter joked about how Malaysians are always looking for the Indonesian dish originating from Sumatera Nasi Padang in Malaysia, while Indonesians are clamouring to find Nasi Kandar in their country.

Meanwhile, a few Malaysians in the comments poked fun at the Malaysian-Indonesian rivalry of claiming the cultures or foods as originating from their own country by saying that in 2 to 3 years, Indonesia would claim that Nasi Kandar is from their country with the opening of the restaurant.

Besides that, one commenter wasn’t a fan of the curry gravies that the restaurant offered as they looked too diluted despite not having coconut milk mixed in.

Hence, for this Malaysian and Nasi Kandar lover, the ones offered in this Jakarta restaurant are not authentic.
