Nasi Kandar Deen Mutiara (Hutton Lane)

Nasi Kandar Deen Mutiara on Jalan Hutton is a local favourite for Penang-style nasi kandar, drawing both residents and visitors. The signature is the ayam Deen Mutiara — tender, juicy fried chicken with a crisp, lightly spiced crust — piled onto rice 'banjir' (flooded) with a mix of curry gravies. Regulars round it out with briyani rice, mutton, fried squid, quail eggs and telur dadar. The tip from regulars: order it banjir and let the server pick the sauce combination. Queues move fast, and a plate runs around RM15–20.
