“ Visited Deens Maju Nasi Kandar on a weekday and arrived around 11:30am. The stall only opens its gates at 12pm, so there was no queue yet at first, but people gradually started lining up closer to opening time. I overheard a local saying the queue is usually very long, but because it’s currently Ramadan, it’s slightly more manageable. The queue moves really quickly once they open. You can choose between white rice, nasi tomato, or nasi dalcha. Definitely go for the fried chicken — juicy, tender, and perfect with the curry. ”
