Fake Nasi Kandar Beratur aka Nasi Kandar Liyaqatali @ Masjid Kapitan Keling

Please be informed that the REAL and original Nasi kandar Beratur is the little stall by the side lane of the mosque and NOT the two unit shoplot that only opens after 10pm.
No they did not expand.
Apparently the opportunist took advantage of the original stalls fame and SHAMELESSLY copyrighted their brand.
Now horror of horrors this impostor has become more famous than the rightful Beratur.

They not only snatched their name,registered it,did all the necessary paperwork,they also caused the original Beratur to loose any claim of fame to their name cos the fella even had the gall to put up a big signboard to misinform visitors and confuse former customers that they are only open after 10pm and that they are THE original since 1943.
Can you believe they even had the gall to lay claim to the year of conception?Sheesh.
So please don't fall for this.

Even though I only like their rubber fried onion chicken,crazy "semo kasi" potent sauce mix and nothing else,even though there is no emphasis on hygiene at this Beratur,
I am downright outraged by the big fat lies of the fake one.

Here's a checklist for you to know if you are eating at the original one.
1. It is open before 10pm.
2. It has no signboard and that's how Liyaqatali sneakily wrested their brandname from under their nose
3. The tables and chairs are all over the pavement and sidewalk NOT inside the 2 adjoining shoplots
4. The stall is by a sidelane next to the mosque and not in a shoplot
5. Only the locals know this fact but some end up thinking they've expanded into the 2 shoplots.NOT...
6. Movie crews from Kay El and Selangor shooting on the island sometimes stop by here for a fix.Sometimes if you are lucky you could spot a Malay cerekerama star dining silently dressed in designer jeans,dark glasses and a cap.
