Chutney Mary Indian Fast Food @ Changi, Singapore

As usual, it was another early flight in to Singapore and in order to avoid getting stuck in the traffic jam in the city, I decided to have my breakfast at the airport itself. Usually, I would avoid doing this since I would prefer to explore the local food, nevertheless, going into the city at this hour looking for food would be a waste of time since it would be jammed almost everywhere. 

Chutney Mary in Terminal 2, Changi

I have visited Chutney Mary many times and I believe that they were all for dinner and I have never been too happy with the food served then. Since I have not tried their breakfast spread, I decided to give it a try this morning. They had a good spread of South Indian dishes which seemed okay to me.

Coffee @ SGD 2.00

Idli Vada Set @ SGD 6.00

Their Coffee was good and it was served hot. Balanced amount of sugar was used and I really enjoyed it. My rating for their coffee shall be 8/10. I had also ordered their Idli Vada set which came with two Idli's, one Ulunthu Vadai, some Sambar, Tomato Chutney and Pudina Chutney. 

Unlike what I get for dinner here, this was really good and most importantly, the Idli and Vada were fresh. The Idli was reasonably soft and so was the Vadai. Their Chutneys were good too and I totally loved the Sambar. A lovely breakfast it was and I would rate this at 8/10. 

Unlike what I used to get for dinner at this very same outlet, the breakfast options were surprisingly good. The Idli's and Vadai was fresh and reasonably soft. Their Chutneys were good and so was the Sambar. Worth visiting them if you're looking for a reasonably good South Indian breakfast in Changi Airport.

Nasi Kandar Pelita @ Cyberjaya, Selangor

It has been a while since we last visited Nasi Kandar Pelita and this evening we were looking for a place to have some hot Nasi Lemak and that was when I remembered that Nasi Bandar Pelita does have this in the evenings.

Nasi Lemak

Fried Chicken

This restaurant is located on the Glomac Cyberjaya side and it is quite easy to locate them. They occupy two shop lots and they are open 24 hours daily. We were here at around 7 pm and the Nasi Lemak packets were ready on all tables. The evening crowd has surely started building but it was still manageable when we arrived. I had also asked for a piece of Fried Chicken and it was served separately in a plate. Their Nasi Lemak was decent. Not one to shout about but the essential flavours were intact. The sambal wasn't too spicy but they were generous with it.My rating for this Nasi Lemak would be 7/10. Their Fried Chicken was also decent and my rating for this too shall be 7/10. 

Maggi Goreng

Indomie Goreng

Some of my friends went for their Maggi Goreng and Indomie Goreng. Pretty standard stuffs and they were up to our expectations. Based on my friends ratings, they would give these 8/10. 

If you're looking for some Nasi Lemak Bungkus after office hours in Cyberjaya, then Nasi Kandar Pelita would be an ideal destination. Their Nasi Lemak's are decent, not too spicy and the portions are huge.

Masala Wheels @ Petaling Jaya, Selangor

I have heard so many positive reviews from friends about this restaurant called Masala Wheels that is located in Section 1, Petaling Jaya. They have been around since August last year and the place is still going strong with long queues waiting for tables. Having heard about all this, we decided to drop by for lunch this afternoon. 

The Restaurant Located Along Jalan 1/3, Section 1, Petaling Jaya

It was a rainy afternoon when we arrived and the tables that were located outdoors could not be put into use. Due to that, there was such a long queue for tables and after a 20 minute wait, we finally managed to squeeze in and share a table with other customers. 

Banana Leaf Rice Meal

The place was buzzing with customers and the waiters along with the owners were having a very tough time serving them all. Apparently, this is the daily scene here during lunch hours. Finally, after some struggle, we got our food. Their basic Banana Leaf Rice Meal comes with Rice, free flow of curries, two vegetables, some fried vegetables, Appalam, and four kind of chutneys. 

Chutney's

Veggies

Venthaya Kulambu

Chicken Kulambu

All the four chutneys were awesome. They were so good that I had to ask for more and despite having such a crowd, they managed to serve me more. The vegetables were also very tasty and fresh. Good thing is that they were not overdone and the flavours were good. Both their Venthaya Kulambu and Chicken Kulambu was awesome as well. 9/10 for their Chutneys, 8/10 for their Veggies and 9/10 for both their Kulambu's. 

Rasam

Iced Moor

Their Rasam was excellent as well. Very generous with the spices and it was really good. 10/10 for their Rasam. Their Iced Moor however slacked a little. They had forgotten to add salt and therefore, it tasted a little odd. I guess the person serving us would have forgotten amidst to add the needful. Hence I shall take it as a mistake and not rate this drink. 

Mutton in Gravy

Tenggiri Fish Sambal

Chicken In Gravy

Fried Bawal Fish

We also went for some add on's. Actually, we wanted to try crabs but they were sold out for the day. Similarly, their Mutton Varuval was also sold out. So we ordered a plate of Mutton in Gravy, Chicken in Gravy, Tenggiri Fish Sambal and a piece each of Fried Bawal Fish. The Mutton and Chicken were tasty. Both were good in their own ways and it came with lots of gravy and my rating for both shall be 7/10. Their Tenggiri Fish Sambal and Fried Bawal Fish were awesome and both deserves a rating of 10/10. The Bawal was fried to a crisp and the marination was just wonderful. Similarly, their Tenggiri Fish was so good and the sambal was just lovely. At the end of our meal, the owners had actually visited each table and apologised saying that they could not give their best service due to the crowd which I think was just so nice of him to say so. 

We tried their Banana Leaf Rice Meals along with some curries, Rasam, Iced Moor, Fried Bawal Fish, Tenggiri Fish Sambal, and a plate of mutton and chicken each and everything was so good. Even the curries were very tasty. My only advise would be to be there by 12 noon if you're looking to have lunch. By 1 pm, the place would be crowded and you would have to wait in line for a table. Excellent food and very reasonable prices.

TeeKaapi Indian Cuisine @ Batu Caves, Selangor

TeeKaapi Indian Cuisine is a restaurant that is located in Eco Sky which is just beside Taman Wahyu, Batu Caves. What attracted me here is the fact that they serve Indian Style Shell Out and that too on Banana Leaf, the South Indian way. Having heard that such a thing is available here, we made it a point to drop by this evening.

The Restaurant in Eco Sky

Since this building is relatively new, parking is easily available as the commercial area is not fully taken up. Their set up is quite posh and the tables are nicely spaced out and that enables you to have conversations without being worried about being noisy. Besides that, private room is available too for private functions. 

Their menu has a mix of North and South Indian dishes and some fusion dishes. Vegetarian options are there but they are relatively limited. Prices seem reasonable for the concept. Since we had made our mind to go for the Shell Out, we did not take much time at looking at the other available options. 

Orange Cordial

White Rice

This shell out set is for four pax and therefore, it comes with four portions of white rice and four glasses of orange cordial. 

Indian Shell Out @ RM 100.00

This Indian Shell Out is available only on weekends and it priced at RM 100.00 per set. It comes with some fish, crabs, squid, shrimps, veggies, corn, chicken, mussels and clams. Please do prepared to wait as this preparation is made from scratch and would take some time. For me, that is good since everything would be fresh.

It is really rare to see this kind of Indian Shell Out and that too one that is being served on Banana Leaves. For me, it was a wonderful meal. The mix of fish, clams, mussels, shrimps, squid, crabs, chicken, veggies and corn that came in a mildly spicy sambal like preparation was just heavenly. It was so good and I wouldn't mind returning again for another round of excellent food. Do note that this is only available during the weekends and a set for four pax is priced at RM 100.00 . Excellent food and lovely ambiance. 

Address: Ground Floor, Eco Sky, Jalan Ipoh, Taman Wahyu, 68100 Batu Caves, Selangor.

Business Hours: 1000 - 2300 Tuesday - Sunday

Krishna Curry House @ Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Krishna Curry House is one of those South Indian Restaurants in Petaling Jaya that needs no introduction. For many years, they were located along Jalan 222 and a few years back, they had moved to this present restaurant that is located along Jalan SS9A/19, Seri Setia. After a long sabbatical, I am back here for lunch this afternoon. 

The Restaurant in Seri Setia

Banana Leaf Rice Meal

As usual, it has always got to be Banana Leaf Rice when we are here. At some point it time, the quality declined and that was the reason why we stopped coming. Recently I heard from a friend that they are back to what they were and that's how we ended up here this afternoon. Parking is relatively easy and another thing that I like here is the speedy service.

Good Spread Of Vegetables

Chicken Curry

Sambar

The basic Banana Leaf Rice Meal comes with three vegetables, Pudina Chutney, Mango Pickles, Pickled Chilli and free flow of curries. I would say that the spread was good and the veggies were fresh and tasty. My rating for their veggies shall be 8/10. Both their Sambar and Chicken Curry were excellent. Rich in flavours and very generous with the spices. These definitely deserve a rating of 9/10. 

Claypot Mutton

Claypot Chicken

Their Claypot Chicken and Claypot Mutton are top sellers here and their Claypot Mutton specifically has been my all time favourite. In fact, I do come back each time specifically for this preparation. Both are so good and they come in some really thick curry. Pricey but it's totally worth it. My rating for both shall be 10/10. 

Crabs

Nandu Rasam (Crab Rasam)

Bru Coffee

We were really in the mood for a feast and I was so glad that the food quality was back to what it used to be. We then added two crabs and that too was fantastic. It was served in some gravy and we totally loved it. My rating for their Crab Curry shall be 9/10. We also had some Nandu Rasam and finally wrapped up the meal with some Bru Coffee. Their Nandu Rasam deserves a rating of 9/10 and the same goes to their Bru Coffee. In total, two Banana Leaf Rice Meals plus the rest cost us just under RM 100.00 which I felt to be a pretty good deal. 

Everything that we tried this afternoon, the Banana Leaf Rice Meal, Claypot Mutton, Claypot Chicken, Crabs and Nandu Rasam, each were excellent in their own way. Even the basic curries were superb and their prices are totally worth it, not that I would say that they are expensive. This is surely an excellent place to visit for a hearty Banana Leaf Rice Meal.
