Previously when I came here for my Kum Kee Charcoal Roast Pork which is only a few doors away from here and , one of my reader recommended me to try one of her favorite place which serve Ipoh Chicken Rice at Restaurant New Lian Hin.

So Since we were there for a few rounds and drop by here for lunch to give it a try, which also do attract us whenever we walk pass by.

This outlet also enjoying brisk business during lunch time and alot of diners came by for take away.

Ordered their home cook “tong sui” that turns out pretty generous with its ingredient. Not too sweet yet flavorful. A good one to start off with.

We were served with rice first and it smells nice, where colour is a little pale pandan colour, fragrant with chicken oil and pretty good for a chicken rice.

We ordered mix meat, ranging from Roast Pork, BBQ pork, chicken and roast chicken along with bean sprouts.

Chicken meat turns out to be juicy yet not too dry and roast chicken is pretty good too.

Roast pork and BBQ pork turns out to be good too, where they are slightly above avreage than many chicken rice stall. Indeed it was a good recommendations and worth to come back again as price for this meal for 3 pax is estimated RM 45 which we think is pretty decent.

Every year month of October, it will be another exciting month where certain eateries and bars will be celebrating OKTOBERFEST!!

This gives no exception for Brozeit – a German Bier Bar which is also one of my favorite German restaurant that serve decent consistent German food.

Among the 4 beers, I love Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest-Märzen. Love the sweet sweet malty flavour and hinted with faint bitter aftertaste. It is also one of the beer that I have not tested before among those bottles.

Brotzeit Fladen Kassler – Smoked Pork Loin Pizza -Tomato sauce, mozzarella, thin slices of smoked pork loin topped with olives and freshly grated horseradish. Every slices is filled with decent slice of loin and olive with its thin crust pizza. Do go along with their beer to pair it up.

Bermerwürstl – Pigs in blankets @ RM 39 Three smoked pork cheese sausages wrapped with bacon and served with fries.

The festival is celebrated in big scale, from food to beer and Oktoberfest Platter @ RM 288 nett introduce you all their signature item. A platter that can easily feed 4-6 pax, served with Brotzeit Signature Knuckle, Pork Garlic Sausages, Gypsy Belly Bacon, Lumber Jack Steaks, Nürnberger Pork Sausages & Spicy Chicken Sausages served with Sauerkraut and potato salad. Their pork kunckle is da bomb, where every cut of it gives you the cracking sound from the skin.

Still love their classic brown sauce to pair with most of my meat.

For dessert, WeiBer Lavakuchen @ RM 25 is my favourite. Chocolate Lava Cake is also a twist of Chef’s version of molten lava cake with white chocolate. Cutting through the thin layer of crust gives you the crack and where white chocolate just flood out. Great replacement of white chocolate and pairs well with chef special sauce at the side.

Apfelküchle @ RM 26 for 4 pcs. Slices of cinnamon-sugar dusted apple fritters served with homemade vanilla sauce.

In Airport when I am looking to purchase my whisky, I do come across this brand GlenGrant and little did I know is actually an Award-winning whisky. Only recently I was invited for this media launch tasting and fell in love with their range. In this launch, the highlight would be the new 12 Year Old and 18 Year Old premium expressions.

The media launch too place at The Social.

The latest premium offerings are set to be Glen Grant’s finest yet and will join the existing range, which now in full includes The Major’s Reserve, 10 Year Old, 12 Year Old, 18 Year Old and a selection of limited edition bottles; each based on more than 175 years of passion and craftsmanship. The new 12 Year Old and 18 Year Old expressions each add their own exceptional and unique flavour and aroma to the current Glen Grant range, opening the door to a whole new whisky-drinking experience.

The 18 Year Old – The rarest in the collection is the new Glen Grant 18 Year Old. This unrivalled single malt Scotch whisky matures for at least 18 years in the highest quality, handpicked oak casts, which creates a radiant golden colour and seductive floral and oaky aroma. Deeply layered and complex, this rich and vibrant whisky delivers beautifully intricate flavours of malted caramel, vanilla, and raisins and lingers with a long, sweet and pleasantly spicy finish.

The 12 Year Old – Glen Grant 12 Year Old is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky. With a bright, golden colour and pleasant aromas of orchard fruit, almond and citrus, this exceptional whisky delights the palate with exquisite and delicate notes of apple pie crust and caramel, finishing with lingering fruit and subtle hints of spice.  The 12 Year Old was recently awarded the IWSC GOLD 2016, Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Speyside, 12-13 Years Old.

The 10 Year Old – Golden in colour, the 10 Year Old lingers in the mouth with a soft almond finish. For the last four years, the 10 Year Old has won the “Best Single Malt Scotch: 10 Years and Under” category award in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. In addition to this, in 2015 the 10 Year Old also took home the guide’s top honour for single malts by winning overall Single Malt of the Year (Multiple Casks).

Pleasure to meet Dennis Malcolm whom is the Master Distiller over 50 years.

All the 4 bottles do have their own distinctive taste which is quite prominence in taste difference. . My personal pick for GlenGrant would be 10 years as there is a reason for it to won medals. Indeed one of the easiest drinking whisky that can be drank anytime any where. If you love something slightly more oaky and slightly more spicy then 12 years old would be an ideal purchase. 12 years old is indeed a good bottle for any food and conversation starter.

Gelato scene in KL is indeed slowly growing where Jersey Jack is another local brand that is slowly gaining is customers heart. You have to try to spot them with their classic tricyle around KL area or any weekend markets.

Love their range of flavors as they continuously produce some unique flavors to entice your taste bud. Flavors such as Salmon & wasabi, chilli ginger Lemongrass, Baileys, Rum & Raisins, New York Cheesecake and many others.  Tiramisu is a bomb too.

Single Scoop at RM 12 & Double Scoop at RM 20

Last weekend, we were invited to this hidden pop up bar at The Row, KL with a key word, located Countryman. There is where you find your entrance and DCODE an experience with #CreateOwnDiscoverExperience. 1A Private Lounge is the latest initiative from experiential specialists DCODE. It is a pop up modern speakeasy cocktail lounge for next 5 weeks.

Upon entering the bar, you will be given this little Dcode card.

From the card, you get to exchange one drink from the vending machine ranging from 3 different colours:

1. Red – Hennessy mixture
2. Blue – Gin Mixture
3. Green – Belvedere Vodka mixture.

For that night, I was keen to explore on gin. Then we proceed to our next counter to be a little mad food scientist. For each selection you chose, they have specific 5 mixture for you to choose and it is advisable infuse maximum of 3 flavours into the bottle.

I was advise to add in mint leaves, cucumber and green apple. Quite an interesting combination as those 3 flavours are still prominent. After I mix all, it does create the little taste confusion.

After we are done with our drink, we hit the bar for champagne and vodka. They have 2 levels where below is more chill where conversations flow to the smooth sounds laid down by the resident DJ.

Met those usual suspects and new folks.

Met famous Youtuber – Jenn and her musician boyfriend.

and of course Raj the tanker.

I have pass this outlet, Hwang Hae at Solaris KL numerous times whenever I pay a visit to other restaurants around that area. Have always created the curiosity to try out this outlet over the years till recently only decided to drop by. It is a Korean BBQ place that is well known for their lamb bbq skewers

My Korean food now need to have Soju bomb along.

In the menu is pretty simple where you can choose from skewers side or typical Korean bbq with fine slices of meat. We ordered :

1. normal Lamb Skewers @ RM 29
2. Spicy marinated lamb skewers – Michin Yang Kkochi @ RM 29
3. Grilled Spicy Pork Neck – Maeunyangnyeom Dwaeji @ RM 29

The secret ingredient for this outlet is this special mix spices dip for all your meat. It gives you a nice lingering of mild Korean Szechuan spices, mild spicy, with hint of black pepper and a unique after taste that we just love it. Taste event better if you had half shot of soju after it.

Good stuff from this outlet as I have return another round a month after and still do not  mind to go back.

A.Toast Breakfast & Juice Bar is one of a hidden store along Jalan Pudu. It is a little store that is pretty much well known for their fresh sandwich that made a mark to many of the workings peeps nearby. It is a simple menu that cater for fast movers.

Seating capacity here is very limited as they are operating in a tight space.

Latte @ RM 4.20, you can avoid this as it is a instant coffee (the cashier do mention about it)

Base on the picture, it do capture my attention and as Flossy Style French Toast was served, they have added in quite a generous amount of chicken floss, however their fresh sandwich is still a clear winner. @ RM 10.90. It is a classic chinese french toast that dip with egg and pan fried, filled with chicken ham and cheese. 

This is one of a clear winner where their Signature Black Sesame Sandwich @ RM 9.30 – sunny Side up + Chicken Ham. Love the aroma and how soft the sandwich texture is. Fluffy from inside out, yet runny egg and lettuce leaves do give you the mouth bite feeling that gives you a perfect bite. Hand plastic gloves were given to ensure you kept clean from the messy effect.

Spaghetti Carbonara with Creamy Mushroom & Ham is a simple instant dish. With their price tag of @ RM 10.90, I certainly do not have complain

I have to agree to many comments that their sandwich is a bomb. Worth to give it a try and others are base on your personal taste bud. If you do visit this place on weekend, you can actually park behind along the KTM walkway and walk through the little alley.

Korean Fried Chicken trend is sprouting like crazy now. You can see there are quite number of outlet out there are gaining its popularity with commercial chain KyoChon, Pelicana Chicken and a few others. Nanda Chicken at Solaris KL is one of the latest addition into the industry and operating in this new Korean Village – Solaris KL.

I always love the interior of a Korean F&B as they really put in a lot of effort and cost by making the restaurant looks good.

Menu here is very straight forward as their specialty is Korean Fried Chicken.

My Korean dining must always have their Soju Bomb. or at least Soju to hit with.

Complimentary sides for you .

With the latest trend, everything that evolves with cheese is in the menu. We ordered one of their latest item – Boneless Crispy Hot Snow Cheese Chicken @ RM 62. Serve with boneless chicken and half plate or cheese corn.

Let it cook for 3 minutes and after the cheese melted, the assistant will come over and show you how it should be quoted. Assistance is provided on the first few piece of chicken.

1. take one piece and twirl it with cheese.
2. Pull it up into the air where you can see the springy of the cheese, twirl it in mid air to allow it to be coated around.
3. Once it is all coated like a cocoon, then it is ready to be eaten.

Chicken is fried to perfection where it is crispy inside out, meat might be slightly dry but overall it is not bad. Thick cheese give you the extra salty omph into the chicken. The best part is their spicy sauce and this is only 1 chili spicy level.. It does not hit you on the first piece, but it hits you after consuming subsequent piece. My tears keep flowing out. Their spiciness is different level. (do take note on the effect of next day when you hit washroom). Cannot imagine other chicken flavor that has 2 or 3 chili text on it. They also do have the non spicy version.

Overall it is not a bad place for Korean Friend Chicken and do come with a group of 4. Their cheese portion might not be big as other flavors is like mountain high. For classic Korean Fried Chicken I still like Chicken House which is just a street away. As for variety and ambiance, this place wins.

They do have delivery service too.

Takoyaki is actually one of my favourite Japanese Street snacks. I still remember my first bite when I were traveling in Hong Kong 12 years ago. That taste and memory is still one of the best and that shop no longer in operation. Gindako is one of a famous Japanese Takoyaki brand that now operates in our Malaysian Shores that operates by a new sister company from famous brand operator ChaTime.

Their first outlet were at Aeon Shah Alam and it were quite far to travel all the way there for this. Their expansion growth is slow yet manage to try it out at one of their latest outlet Gindako Publika.

Love their machine as it do look cool. With automated shake and auto ball roller is quite new to me.

Flavours are very direct with the classic are always the Original with squid.

This round I tried their cheese version. Turns out to be alright. Slightly crispy skin soft filling inside and it is quite similiar to the one I had in Bangkok 3 months ago. It is a tricky snacks that serve in variety of texture. Every one have their own preference.

Many of the cafe’s in Klang Valley are inspired by Australia. Well, Doma Modern Korea Cafe is one of them too. Serving modern Korean Cuisine as Doma’s chef Terry Song comes to Malaysia from Australia, and their co-founder Carl Lee is from South Korean. This place is not your typical Korean restaurant.

This cafe is quite hidden from the eyes of main road even though you pass here nearly every day. Sits at level one of Mont Kiara Shoplex which is a little building that has Baskin Robbin.

The interior do feel like a mini art dining space, simplicity and minimalist.

You will love their Soju range that they are offering. There are alot of brands that I have rarely seen. A great place to try some of it and the price is very reasonable.

For that day, we decided to try Sansachun Rice Wine @ RM 42.  Simply fragrant, easy to drink and mild flowery note.

Kim Chi Fried Rice @ RM 20 is filled with Bacon, Parameson and spring onion. Fried to perfection as I love the pan fried wok hei and with parameson do enhance the taste a little unique.

Love the KimChi Soup here as the taste is stronger. Slightly sourish spicy to my liking. @ RM 20

Pork Belly Sliders @ RM 19 – soy mayo, Scallion, red cabbage. This is like our Chinese version dish as the have a little twist in it by adding different veggie and dressing. Love the Pork Belly that is done to perfection where the skin is crispy and belly is evenly sitting between the lean meat. Thumbs up where the sauces enhance it!

They were one of the early trend setters as I have tried this 4 months ago in this outlet. ‘Bul Dak’ Hot Spicy Cheese Chicken @ RM 29. Serveing in a sizzling hot plate  that is filled with a sea of cheese, onions and special sauces from chef along with chicken is something you will not stop digging in with your rice wine at the side. Gives you a perfect combination of flavours. Bul Dak is rich in taste and chicken is soft and juicy.

As for dessert, we hit on their signature Green Tea Bingsu. Different type of texture as it is filled with those snowy soft melt into your mouth texture and love their strong green tea taste that yet can balance it off with their ice milk base. Great stuff.

Definitely one of a place that I would recommend as I had visited three times over the past few months. Do not miss their Fried Chicken.

When everyone think about French Food, it is constantly associate with very technical cooking style. There is one which that sits at Lorong Maarof that gives you a touch of French home cook version with elevation of flavour. Rendez-Vous which is lead by Chef Benjamin Reilhes whom hails from the quiet town of Toulouse.

This is not your typical fine dining area as this is more like a casual dining space.

Kampari Spirits is one of their starter cocktail that is filled along with Soda and a slice of orange. Slightly sweet in after taste is definitely one of a drink that is easier to drink for ladies. IF you like something Classic, then their Dry Martini is something to hunt after. Quite strong with martini and olives to infuse with the taste.

In love with their first starter which is a small bowl of Cauliflower Soup. So fragrant with truffle oil that is not overpowering, yet airy and just finish it till its last drop.

Next is their new French Classic Starters – Meli Melo de Rilette – serve you in two bottle with one is Tuna Fish Riyard and Seabass Riyard. More like Pate base. Finished the whole 6 pieces by myself . Pate is smooth and aromatic.

We had the Tarte Au Citron Meringue (Lemon tart with Soft Meringue) served with Lime Sorbet. Sorbet is the one that won over my taste bud. It is indeed a great after dish cleanser, wish could have another scoop of it. 

Pairing with Le Contesse – Prosecco might be slightly too sweet for me.

What a great adventure with a new twist of flavour for French Cuisine. Indeed it was a unique one.

Was lost on options on what to hit on for a nice brunch. Hit into my safe list that I have done over weeks and saw this interesting place that my friend have shared in insta and decided to check them out. Only found out that Common Man Coffee Roasters (CMCR) is quite an establish brand in Singapore has now landed in KL at TTDI’s Plaza Vads.

I am truly impress with their little entrance that funnel you into an impressive interior that lead you into a huge space. Imagine it is like a wine decanters.

As you open the door, you will be greeted with wired mash wall with merchandise on the right and on the left you can enjoy a nice seating for coffee.

Walk into the dining space is where I felt like dining in a modern classic world war 2 yatch.

Specialty coffee is their forte too. Alot diners are conquering at the bar area to enjoy the nice view of this huge oval base coffee place.

Coffee here are pretty amazing as my latte do give a very nice slight acidic taste yet gives you a nice burst of aroma after taste. Ice Cappuccino is rather interesting too as the first sip with give you a punch of unique taste that later will flow down your throat with the after taste. Lovely blend.

Organic Egg Benedict @ RM 38 – Tender braised Ox Cheeks, Two poached organic eggs & chive hollandaise with honey rye or multigrain bread (we chose multigrain). Love this little mischievous presentation as the rockets covers the ingredient in it and as you break it, you are greeted with the braised ox cheese which is soft, juicy and a great combination with the little spices on the top and the oozy yolk that gives you a nice balance of flavour.

I believe this is one of their signature as I saw tons of orders for this. Indeed its quite a recommended one.

As I am a sucker for brioche bread as it is hard to find a nice one. Fluffy Brioche French Toast @ RM 27 – berries compote, maple syrup & premium vanilla ice cream. I have to say this is one of the best brioche that I have had so far in KL. Every single bite is crisp at the side and it is soft and fluffy in the middle bread base. Maple syrup is not too sweet yet match well with the berries compote that brings you the little acidity of the flavour. Simple and it is a masterpiece. Worth to order this to share.

As I bump into my best friend at the same morning, he highly recommended Turkish Common Man Breakfast, as he loves the combination of flavour and at least it is something different.

I certainly believe this would be one of the most talk about cafe in the upcoming weeks as they have just open its door recently and it is already running full house yesterday. I have no doubt that they currently top in my list as a perfect brunch place. Indeed a highly recommended place in KL now. Perfect service too.  Will certainly be back to try out other dishes.

*Set back, as this mark they are one of the most EXPENSIVE brunch place too. However the quality is there.

To add that more interesting, they have recently launched its most recent blend of red wine- the Jacob’s Creek Double Barrel for both the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon that finished in aged whiskey barrels which is to add another layer of complexity and texture to traditionally barreled beverages.

As guess arrived, we were all treated with the fresh, vibrant sparkling wine the Chardonnay Pinot Noir. Little did I know that they do have champagne range. This bottle certainly a great starter where it is so easy to drink, bubbly that gives you the fresness and crips of taste yet texture is nice. Gives you a little sourish lemon taste. A recommended bottle though for easy casual drinking.

All of us are also very curious on what does Double Barrel mean?

To make their blend different, Jacob’s Creek came up with the idea of the unique double barreling process, whereby their premium red wine, the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon reds will age through their usual process for 12-18 months in wine barrels, then subsequently aged in used Scotch or Irish Whisky oak barrels for another 3-months before bottling.  This process enhance the taste to intense and full body.

As for this, the tasting notes for Double Barrel Shiraz, it has full body and a generous palate which integrates a mix of sweet red fruits and dark chocolate. While subtle toasty vanilla flavours are derived from the aging process in traditional French and American oak wine barrels. Finally, the careful use of aged Scotch whisky barrels for finishing has added complex nuances of almond-husks and also softened the dense tannins to yield an incredible smoothness.

This soup is smooth and creamy, with a light finihshing truffle after-taste of truffle. Paired with  Jacob’s Creek Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir.

These are the sample woods that was part of the double barrel aging process.

Moving to second row – we are served with Double Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon the tasting notes for it is offers a complex palate yet reveals itself with style. Traditionally assertive tannins are evident at first, before giving way to a mid palate filled with ripe cassis, olive tapenade and complex briary hints. Fine, dusty tannins give excellent line and length to the beverage, and are layered with sweet and toasty characters reminiscent of crýme brýlýe. The unique Double Barrel technique of finishing in aged Irish whiskey barrels has integrated the myriad of flavours and brought extra richness to the palate.

Put put put your hands up if you do not know whom is Sukiya. One of a famous buffet Japanese Sukiya cuisine which is also one of my favourite and now they have a new concept in place where they also offer eat all you can Buffet at BBQ Town for only RM 32.80 ++ during lunch and dinner RM 39.80++. Operating their first outlet which is not too far from us, that lcoated at the central location which is at Mid Valley.

here you go on their price rate and also its a Pork free restaurant that have attracted quite number of malay diners.

What can you expect in this buffet range. Similiar to Sukiya as they have their beef, lamb and chicken slices which is for you to hit onto upon request and Ala Carte is extra order for you to hit on.

Comfortable seating area

What can you find from at the food counter is variety of sides.

Some sauces for you to do pairing.

If you are too hungry while waiting for the food to cook, there are some mini sushi for you to down first.

Green tea or vanilla ice cream for you to cool off.

They have a mini guide for you on how to mix the sauce and also ways to cook it.

This is my special mix accordance to the picture illustrated. Pretty good though as I have 3 rounds of sauces.

Enjoying my mini thai bbq steamboat buffet.

Soup is pretty decent as they give you a jug .

Their chicken wings turns out to be not bad from ala carte menu. Worth to give it a try.

With the price and quality of it, indeed it is an buffet menu that have no harm in trying. I still prefer their original which is Sukiya. Still one of my all time favourite steamboat.

Love the ambiance of this place. Unfinish walls, classic colour pastel titles, mining light bulps and classic food furniture add on the feel of it.

To add onto the feel of it, they have also created classic tea. We tried Taiwanese Dong Ding Oolong & Yunnan Black Tea with osmanthus flowers & star anise @ RM16 per bottle.

In the menu, Chinese Pesto Flat Noodle attracted my attention cause it is housemade noodle, flat and packed with ulam pesto with charred capsicum, semi-dried tomato, crunchy peanut and aromatic sesame seed. Taste is pretty strong with unique twist indeed. Find that the flavour is too strong to my liking and I could not finish the plate itself.

As for the food, it might be too “modern” for me but they sure do have great ambiance. Maybe I will look forward for their upcoming bar.

French cuisine always give us the perception that they are classy dining. There is this French Bistro that sits in between where they are same team behind the successful French fine dining Maison Francaise restaurant. This is one of their latest concept that sits at The Row, Jalan Doraisamy is this 2ox, Two-Ox French Bistro.

10  years ago, this place is one of the hottest night spot area known as “Asian Heritage Row”. With new revamp, now this stretch is called The Row where now house independent shops, cafes, bars and co-working space are situated.

Love the interior of this restaurant that gives you a spacious dining area, yet it is modern with classic touch.

If you wanna get chillex, then you can enjoy at their bar area

This is one of their latest menu where we kick start with :

Roasted Beetroot salad with Fourme d’Ambert cheese, green apple, candied walnuts. Indeed the culinary skills is amazing, where beetroot is cut paper thin slices that makes the whole presentation looks like a Spanish ham dish. Love the flavour as it have combination of different elements, and crunchy texture (from apple and walnut)

This combination is quite interesting as Warm Beef Salad with lentils and fennel, horseradish cream. The lentils brings the softness of the marination flavour that pairs uniquely with fennel along the horseradish cream mild it down.

As this dish do looks like healthy dish as Butternut squash barley pearl risotto with squid and spicy chicken sausage. Barley cook to perfection as it has the chewy texture yet still did not overcook it. Squid add the nice chewy texture along with barley and the thin slice of cheese enhance the flavour with little hint of saltiness it needed.

Chicken ballotine is sous vide and add with Parisan gnocchis, mushrooms and light gravy at the side.

Meringue lemon tart is a simple dessert to end with but it is satisfying. Crust is crisp to my liking, with the lemon cream base nice enough to hit onto my palate to give a mild numb.

With the new chef in action.

Authentic food is the hardest to find as usually any foreign talent with great authentic recipe landed in a foreign land, 80% will end up tweaking the recipe to suit local taste bud. However, there is this one hidden gem that located in Sri Petaling is serving an Authentic Indian Cuisine. Mallikas is running the business with passion for food to spread the authenticity of Indian food.

With much traveling around the region for her son and daughter, the owner herself has decided to choose Malaysia as her settling ground by perusing her dream to open an authentic Classic Indian restaurant, hence the name Mallikas is name after her by recommendations of her son in law. Determine to serve us Malaysians the best Authentic food with her passion, she imports 95% of her ingredient from India and best of all, she also gotten both the Northern and Southern chefs to cover two different region cooking method.

I am certainly blown away with her menu as it is pretty extensive. As part of their believes, the menu also offer wide variety of vegetarian food.

When comes to authentic food, there are a few items that we should give it a go such as their Masala tea @ RM 4.50 and Hot Lemon Tea @ RM 4, and Apple/ Mango Lassi @ RM 8

To start off our palate, we were serve with their classic soup = Shorba Chicken @ RM 8, an authentic North Indian soup prepared with your choice of chicken or seafood and spices which had a unique taste to it. Love the taste is it is quite unique.

Cruncy Onion Praka is a very classic snacks to begin with. You can either eat it like a snacks or you can top it ontop of your rice to make it part of the dish. Cook to perfection where curry leaves flavour just blend nicely into it. Do dip with their sauce @ RM 10

Tawa Fish @ RM 17 as our next entree which was mackerel slices marinated with their homemade spice paste (chili powder, ginger, garlic, spices and lime juice). Fish is marinated and cook well.

Chicken Vepudu @ RM 16  marinated chicken breast cubes with ground masala spices is indeed bites that build with flavours. Chicken is not too dry yet just nice.

Mutton Pepper Fry @ RM 19 is one of the dish to hunt for. No doubt that they are good with their lamb, where it is cook till the meat is soft, fragrant, hit with mild spices and when you pair it with briyani rice, it is a dish to die for.

2. Pallak Paneer is the little green pot that sits behind it. IT is for vegetarian and love the thick gravy with a hit of mint and other leaves. Perfect to go on with nan. @ RM 16

Prawn Varuvel @ RM 19

Another recommended dish would be this Butter Chicken Masala @ RM 18  which is just amazing. It do smells good and the gravy is thick and rich with creamy tomato masala paste enriched with spices. Hit it with either white rice or nann bread is just enough to spread it clean.

Nan Lovers will fall inlove with their nann deeply. It is soft,  and slight fluffy. The Butter Naan @ RM 5 and The Kashmiri Naan @ RM 8 is slightly a healthy version where they add in nuts and raisins for additional flavor and texture and soft and good.

Chicken Andra Roast fills the air with aromatic sizzling and spices smell. It is like a tandori but on a bake then add onto sizzling plate. @ RM 18

Masala Dosai is a dish that MUST order. Serve 3f long yet it is super crispy. As you dig in, the center is filled with potato curry and chutney. Do add on, on all the 3 sauces given.

1.Vegetable Pulav @ RM 12

2. Tomato Rice @ RM 16.50

To finish off, I quite like their Badam Milk @ RM 5 and Gulab Janum (this might be too sweet but that is their classic dessert) as this two are quite a classic Indian drink and dessert.

Dining in Mallikas turns out to be out of my expectation and it is worth recommending. Definitely will be back for their other dishes. Recommended!
