Keeping my word…

I said I would go and check out his new place…

…at Causeway Road here, behind the petrol station across the road from the Hong Kong Bank Building…

…right below this coffee place upstairs and yes, I’ve kept my word.

The handsome and friendly Guna was there…

…checking out his sparkling new traditional Indian tandoori oven.

They’ve just started this place not too long ago and are still getting the feel of things so there are not as many choices as at the original place…

– all chicken but I did mention to Guna that my girl would be more into mutton and he said it would be available soon.

There were not that many options either when it came to the vegetables…

…but like at the other place, they do it very well here too. Somehow, I am no fan of how they fry the vegetables at many Malays stalls here.

My missus had the nasi campur/mixed rice (RM6.00)…

…and I did not know she was going to pick the white chicken kurma…

Had I known she was going to do that, I would not have picked the same to go with my nasi bryani (RM7.00, with the chicken)…

…as I could have just taken a bit from her plate to sample. The kurma was nice, very lemak, but the taste was on the very mild side -I would prefer the stronger tasting ones, bursting with flavours and with a darker thicker gravy like the ones I could get here.

Guna gave us a bit of his tandoori chicken…

…to try and yes, it was very nice. It was not dry despite the fact that he gave us the breast and I could sense the hints of the spices or herbs or whatever that were used to marinate the meat. I certainly wouldn’t mind having this to go with my bryani rice the next time I drop by.

He also suggested that I tried their roti canai (RM1.20)…

…with curry (RM3.00)…

The canai was fine, like most others elsewhere, but I would say that I liked the curry very much – more fragrant, tastier and nicer than the more watery ones at the old place.

Despite the difficulty in finding a parking space in this part of the town centre, there were quite a lot of people at the shop and I hear that come lunchtime, they would get a really good crowd, probably people from the offices and shops all around there. I was lucky to be able to grab one that morning but I did have to walk quite a distance and everyone knows that the word “walk” does not exist in my vocabulary. Hehehehehe!!!! For that reason, I would just say that I certainly would try to drop by again but no, I would not make any promises…
