This was my second visit to Choo Choo Chicken after they moved to a new location (which is still within the neighborhood). As usual it was empty and quiet, such a contrast compared to when it was newly launched (some 8-9 years ago i think).
Wasn't sure what to eat, so ended up with this.
Fried chicken tenders in soy garlic flavor, potato wedges and beef bulgogi seaweed kimchi rice.
This set is meant for sharing 2-3 pax.
The chicken tenders taste weird, which i guess is due to the oil. It smells like those oil used in Indian prayer.
Nevertheless, managed to finish the food in separate days but vow to never buy this again.

Sometime in March, I tried out nasi ganja in Nam Heong. I have never eaten nasi ganja before so just order this, out of curiosity.
Nasi ganja was made famous during the pandemic lockdown when someone sent a helicopter from KL to pick up nasi ganja in Ipoh (from a famous nasi ganja shop, definitely not Nam Heong). With such special delivery...I thought nasi ganja must be superbly delicious.
Anyway, this nasi ganja (loosely translated as marijuana rice), has nothing to do with marijuana.
It is mainly rice with curry gravy, cucumber, boiled egg, okra, a piece of fried chicken and sambal chicken gizzard. This is Nam Heong version. Other shops might have slightly different dishes, such as curry beef or rendang etc.
Personally, I think it's just a toned down nasi kandar....I still prefer the Penang nasi kandar with mixed curry gravy (kuah campur), with strong kicks of spices.
This plate of nasi ganja costs RM20.90 nett.

I reckon the weird taste in the fried chicken could be due to recycled oil or they did not change the oil before frying a new batch. Nasi Ganja seems like a dish that is out of place at Nam Heong hah..hah...
Thanks for the warning about the weird oil taste. All nam Heong food are adjusted for the tiong hua taste so no exotic spices.
I don't like those oil smell. Must be they keep reusing the same oil, didn't change it. That is not good for health.
There is nasi ganja sold here but I haven't try it.
