Nasi Kandar Pelita Cheapest Items Prices Malaysia 2026

The cheapest end of the Pelita menu is all small plates and sides, which is exactly how nasi kandar is meant to work: you pick a cheap base, then add only what you want. Papadam at RM2.30 leads the list, followed by telur rebus and telur masin at RM3.00 each, then roti canai and telur goreng at RM3.30. Vegetables are cheap too, with sayur bendi and sayur kobis at RM3.40, and roti sup at the same price if you want something warm and soupy. None of these will fill you up alone, but they are the building blocks of every budget order here.

The cheapest full plate you can build at Pelita costs RM13.20: nasi putih at RM4.50, telur rebus at RM3.00, sayur bendi at RM3.40 and papadam at RM2.30, with banjir kuah ladled over the rice. Add a teh o panas at RM3.40 and the whole meal with a drink comes to RM16.60. That is close to the cheapest ready made set, the nasi kandar set with ayam kari, ayam madu kicap, ayam sambal, ikan goreng or ikan kari plus sayur, which is RM16.30 on its own.

A cheapest full plate you can build

Order it like this at the counter: nasi putih, telur rebus, sayur bendi and papadam, then ask for banjir kuah over everything. The kuah costs nothing extra in practice, since it is ladled over the rice as part of the nasi kandar style, and it ties the whole plate together. Swap the telur rebus for telur goreng at RM3.30 if you prefer a fried egg, which lifts the plate to RM13.50, or swap in telur masin at RM3.00 for the classic salted egg bite at no extra cost. Either way, you are eating a real nasi kandar plate for less than the cheapest set.

Roti canai at RM3.30 is the cheapest roti on the menu and one of the best value items in the whole restaurant, since it comes with kuah and works as a light meal on its own. Thosai starts at RM4.50 for thosai rumah, the homemade style crepe, followed by thosai planta at RM5.00 and thosai bawang at RM5.20. If you want egg in your bread, roti telur and roti bawang are both RM5.30, and plain naan from the tandoori corner is RM5.00. Two roti canai with kuah come to RM6.60, which is a genuine breakfast for less than most drinks elsewhere.

Teh o panas at RM3.40 is the cheapest drink at Pelita, a hot black tea that pairs with any plate on this page. Kopi o panas at RM3.70 is the cheapest coffee, and if you want it iced, teh o ais at RM4.20 is the lowest priced cold drink, ahead of limau ais at RM4.50. Teh panas and kopi panas, both with milk, are RM4.40 each, while teh ais and kopi ais are RM5.00 each.
