The real thing…

I’ve mentioned before that there are very few Indians in Sibu and because of this, we may be able to get only a few of the Indian delicacies and specialties in town and will not have an opportunity to enjoy much else unless we have some Indian friends who can cook those stuff. Thus, we were delighted when an old friend of mine in Penang took us to this banana leaf restaurant…

…along Penang Street, not Road…near Little India on the island.

It was very crowded with patrons from all races, so that should be an indication as to how good the food was…

We did not have the banana leaf though – I had the nasi bryani with mutton curry…

…while my daughter had the nasi kandar – plain rice with a few items of her choice from the array of delicious Indian delights available…

My wife had the same…

He also ordered for us the chicken tandoori…

…which he said, was very well-known and popular in the city.

After all that, none of us could manage to try the Indian sweets and delicacies that certainly looked very tempting, for dessert…

We certainly enjoyed the lunch, especially my daughter as these would not be that easily available in Wellington and besides, they may not be that authentic and would be so very expensive. Thanks so much, Edmund, for taking time off to bring us there.
