Nasi Kandar Pelita Best Sellers Prices Malaysia 2026

The chain’s menu guide names six best sellers, and they cover the whole menu nicely: a signature rice set, fried chicken, fried noodles, a tandoori classic, a cheese naan, and the drink everyone orders with them. Ayam madu kicap leads the list, which makes sense, since sweet honey soy chicken with banjir kuah is the plate regulars keep coming back for. Here they are, with prices, so you can spot your order fast.

A nasi kandar set at Pelita starts at RM16.30, and that price covers five everyday options: ayam kari, ayam madu kicap, ayam sambal, ikan goreng and ikan kari, each served with sayur and banjir kuah. Step up to kambing at RM20.30, or a quarter chicken portion from RM21.80, and the briyani versions run higher, from RM24.50 for briyani with ayam goreng or ayam kari up to RM29.50 for briyani with ayam bawang quarter. The seafood sets sit at the top at RM37.30, which is why most first timers stick with the RM16.30 sets.

Why is ayam madu kicap the signature pick?

Ayam madu kicap is the sweet one on a menu full of heat, and that contrast is exactly why it tops the best seller list. Honey and kicap give the fried chicken a sticky, caramelised edge, and it holds up beautifully under banjir kuah, so every spoonful of rice picks up sweet, savoury and spicy notes at once. If you only try one set, this is the one regulars point to, and at RM16.30 it costs the same as the other everyday sets, so there’s no premium for picking the signature.

For a first visit on a budget, mee goreng at RM9.90 is the smartest best seller pick, and pairing it with a milo ais at RM6.10 brings the whole meal to RM16.00, which is still cheaper than the cheapest nasi kandar set. If you want rice instead, build around ayam goreng at RM10.00 and add sayur bendi at RM3.40, then ask for banjir kuah over the rice, which lands you close to the set experience for less. If every ringgit counts, the cheapest Nasi Kandar Pelita items guide breaks down the lowest priced plates on the menu.

The splurge end of the best seller world belongs to seafood and the tandoori corner. Nasi kandar with sotong sambal or udang goreng plus sayur both sit at RM37.30, more than double the signature chicken set, and the ala carte versions tell the same story: sotong goreng at RM37.20 and udang kari at RM31.10. On the tandoori side, ayam tandoori at RM16.30 is already a best seller, while chicken tikka and malai kebab at RM20.20 each and reshmee kebab at RM20.90 stretch the bill a little further for a smokier plate.
