Well, we’ve been waiting for him, the authentic North Indian chef here. He went on leave and flew home in June and when we were at the restaurant the other day, he was not back yet. My girl said she wanted to go there for our weekly Sunday lunchtime special so of course, that wasn’t a problem at all and yes, he’s back in the swing of things already!!!
Of course she wanted the biryani rice…
…and since we had the mutton curry on our previous visit, she opted for her other favourite here, the butter chicken curry (RM20.00)…
…cooked using freshly traditional Indian oven-cooked tandoori chicken so you can get to enjoy that delightful taste and fragrance of the tandoori chicken in the curry.
The mum ordered the garlic naan (RM5.00)…
…to share and the chicken masala (RM13.50)…
…for the gravy to dip the roti in and the meat.
I went for the Indonesian ayam opor (RM14.50)…
…their white curry, something like our korma chicken and I asked for extra potatoes as I love those in the lovely gravy and it sure was a pleasant surprise when I was served that in a big bowl…
…at no extra charge.
I was glad that they did not add any chili to it – my missus asked for it to be extra-spicy once and it affected the taste somewhat. It was still nice but I prefer its original taste. They did give me the chili paste in a little saucer with the rice so I could eat the meat with it.
It seemed that right now, they’ve resorted to using bougainvilleas instead of the chili cut open to look like a flower for their presentation of their dishes, not that I was impressed by it, the reason being that fact that chilies are getting way too expensive these days to use like that. I do eat them with whatever dishes I am having but I think most people will just put it aside to be thrown away eventually, such a waste. I would be quite happy with just the daun sup (Chinese celery) or nothing at all – what’s most important would be how nice the dishes served are and as far as the ones here are concerned, that goes without saying. That is why we keep coming back for more…
