Hearty highlights include our first stop: The Yusof Nasi Kandar station, showcasing specialities handed down for generations in the family of Concorde Hotel's own chef Yusof.
Build a beautiful, bountiful platter of nasi kandar with Ayam Bawang Kedah (with seven spices that channel a sharp tang), Kari Kambing Mamak (potently rich and creamy), Kari Kepala Ikan, fried crab, salted egg, dhal, bendi and kobis goreng kunyit.
The Kambing Panggang Nasi Briyani station is also a striking show-stopper, with succulent meat carved from whole lamb, perfectly paired with golden-hued aromatic rice.
Indulge in the Ramadan favourite of Sup Gearbox, with massive chunks of bone marrow for a robustly beefy, peppery pleasure. Soup enthusiasts can also slurp on Sup Ekor and Sup Tulang Rusuk.
Rendang Tok and Rendang Ayam rekindle the spirit of village-style kenduri - fragrantly lip-smacking with nearly melt-in-the-mouth moistness.
The Kari Kepala Ikan counter hits the spot with firm, flaky fish head, submerged in a spicy, savoury curry that's addictive to the final spoonful.
Satay proves irresistible too, in varieties of chicken, beef and lamb, joyously juicy with a luscious peanut sauce.
Bring your family and friends to try all the kampung classics - Kambing Kuzi, Siput Sedut Masak Lemak Cili Padi, Gulai Daging Nangka Muda, Gulai Tunjang Lembu, Ikan Masin Masak Lemak Nenas, Asam Pedas Ikan Pari,Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak, Sambal Tumis Udang Petai, ulam-ulaman, kerabu, gado-gado and much, much more.
The international selection is also intriguing, spanning East to West.
Italian inspirations come alive with the eye-catching Carbonara Fettuccine with Parmigiano - the pasta is tossed on a lightly torched Parmesan wheel for an extra-cheesy hit of tastiness that blankets each strand of the fettuccine!
Everyone enjoys the teppanyaki too, perennially popular for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts!
Western temptations include the superbly tender Slow-Braised Beef Brisket, BBQ Short Ribs, Hungarian Beef Goulash, Spaghetti Aglio Olio, Pan-Seared Fish Fillet Arrabiatta and more.
