It’s always a norm for people to greet you with the proverbial question of “have you eaten?” before anything else when you’re in KL ?  Day or night, it’s always time to makan. With that, it comes with no surprise that there are many spots around town which are still open beyond the average bedtime for most people to chow on!

In Malaysia, nasi kandar is a well-known dish largely popular in Penang, although not hard to find in KL. But with Line Clear opening a branch right in the middle of town, getting your authentic nasi kandar fix just got a lot easier ?

There's no limit to the possible permutations of side dish to go with a plate of rice – ranging from vegetable-based dishes all the way to prawn curry. If you’re unsure, just stick to the usual works of a main side dish and some veggies; but be generous with the gravy!
