Vishal Food & Catering @ Brickfileds, Kuala Lumpur

I have heard a lot of positive reviews about this restaurant called Vishal Food & Catering in Scott Road and decided to head there for lunch today. It is located on Scott Road, directly adjacent to Kandaswamy Temple and right in front of the Hanuman Temple.

The Entrance to the restaurant

This restaurant is in one of those pre war buildings in Scott Road and it is easy to find. I was told that both their Chicken Briyani as well as the Banana Leaf Meal is good here.

Good Old Fashioned Restaurant

We got our place right next to the entrance. Inside this restaurant, it was pretty dark and ventilation was not too good but then I was waiting eagerly to try the meals here. I was attended by an Indonesian waiter and believe me, he spoke fluent Tamil. I was later informed by the boss that all their workers are trained to speak Tamil as it would be easier to communicate with customers when it comes to ordering these Tamil dishes. Here they serve both White Rice and Par Boil Rice.

Vegetarian Meal @ RM 5.00

The service here is super fast. The basic meal of Rice, Curries, Pappadam, Pickles and three vegetables cost RM 5.00 each. I asked for Fish Curry. Let me tell you the fish curry here was superb and the best I have ever tried in a restaurant. I would rate the Fish Curry at 10/10 . Then the waiter brought a tray of other items to choose from which includes fish, mutton, crab, chicken, goats intestines and many more.

Fried Fish @ RM 5.00

They had options to choose from either the Fried Tenggiri Fish as above or the small fish. I choose the above as it looked very good. The taste 9/10 . It was superb!!!

Mutton Parattal @ RM 6.00

This by far was another excellent dish. It was super spicy and I was profusely sweating while eating it. This is another must order dish here. I would strongly rate this dish 9/10.

Chicken Parattal @ RM 6.00

This was also another good dish but not as good as the Mutton version of it. I would still prefer the mutton over this. I would rate this dish 7/10 .

Chicken Rasam

Here they have two varieties of Rasam. They have the common Rasam as well as Chicken Rasam. I have tried Crab Rasam before and this is the first time I am trying this. It was heavenly. You can ask for refills and they do not charge for the Rasam. It is all included in the RM 5.00 that you pay for the basic meal. I would rate this Chicken Rasam 8.5/10 .

Meal Serving Hours

On the whole, the total bill came to a mere RM 29.00 for two pax including the soft drinks. Just last week, I had almost the same dishes at Raju's in Jalan Gasing and the bill came to RM 53.00 . Taste wise, Raju's was just average. This restaurant is by far the best Banana Leaf Meal I have ever tried!!! I would surely return soon to try their much spoken about Briyani too. All the staffs including the bosses are very friendly and swift in attending to their customers needs.They also do catering for private functions and please find their contact details below.  A highly recommended restaurant!!!
