Steven’s Tea Garden – Best Teh Tarik

As I was strolling along the huge Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur, the sign from a brightly lit eatery caught my attention. It screamed, “Best teh tarik in the world!” (or something to that effect). The place is Steven’s Tea Garden, a mamak restaurant chain. As a teh tarik lover, I had no choice but to go in. Right? Okay, actually it’s really the cute sarong-wearing lunghi-clad guy at the entrance that enticed me to enter the restaurant. (you’ll see that I even took... Read more →

Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel – Perfect to the T(ea)

I am sure many of you would be familiar with Mr. Teh tarik at Far East Square. It’s the little pushcart stall with the green roof that sells all kinds of teh (tea). People would sit around on wooden stools to enjoy their drinks. At least, that’s how I remember it. When we paid a visit recently, we found that Mr. Teh tarik has upgraded itself to Mr. Teh tarik cartel. No longer is it a modest little pushcart in the outdoors. Now, it occupies an actual stall unit in the Far East Square building! ... Read more →

Sri Vijaya Restaurant – Just Plain Yummy!

In keeping with my recent craze over thosai, I have been scouting for delicious thosai at Indian restaurants. Having delicious Indian food alone isn’t enough; it must be in Little India too, because that’s where you get the most authentic Indian dining experience! (Actually, the most authentic would be in India itself. But we make do with what we have here!) A street-side coffee shop I’ve found is Sri Vijaya Restaurant, where dining is definitely no-frills (authentic dining experience!).... Read more →

Niqqi’s the Cheese Prata Shop – Not for People on the Move

I have been missing niqqi’s the cheese prata shop ever since I left NUS. All NUS staff and students would no doubt be very familiar with the place, especially the hostel residents. Being open 24/7, the cheese prata shop is a popular hangout to get late night supper. I happened to be back in NUS recently and used the rare opportunity to drop by for my favorite roti john. Roti John SGD2.50 French bread is typically used in roti john. It is pan-fried in beaten egg mixture and onion so that... Read more →

Khansama Tandoori Restaurant – Packed with Spices!

After visiting the museum of Shanghai toys in Little India recently, my friend and I hunted around for some nice Indian cuisine. That’s when I had the opportunity to savor the first North Indian meal of my life. We were at khansama tandoori restaurant, a place that serves authentic North Indian delicacies as opposed to the more ubiquitous South Indian eateries. The alfresco dining area on the ground floor was brimming with customers, mostly tourists. We were escorted to the second level that... Read more →
