3. Projek Nasi Lemak Box
Just right in front of Esplanade Food Court, there’s the famous Projek Nasi Lemak Box. It became famous because of their lobster with nasi lemak, but that is expensive, my friends. Unlike the normal nasi lemak you’ll find in Penang, their coconut rice is infused with butterfly pea flower, making the rice a little pastel blue! There are many options for dishes, including fried chicken, sotong, prawns, fishes, and many more. Mixed everything with their spicy sambal for a little kick!
