The Pelita Nasi Kandar (Malay: Nasi Kandar Pelita; ) is the largest nasi kandar restaurant chain in Malaysia.[1] Its main headquarters is in Taman Chai Leng, Perai, Penang. The parent company also owns several hotels.[2] The chain has outlets in multiple cities, including one in Chennai, India.[1]
History
The chain was founded in Butterworth, Penang as a food stall in a coffee shop in Chai Leng Park market.[2] It opened additional outlets in the Malaysian states of Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Negri Sembilan. The firm purchased a multistory building in Ampang, and because it only wanted to use the ground floor as a restaurant, the firm turned the upper stories into a hotel.
