Who would know that most of the time, the simplest food from a small stall, catered by simple cooks could serve better than restaurants, moreover more affordable?
Present to you, my biggest meal of the day yesterday; and it comes from a small stall in a food court, at the outskirts of one of the oldest suburb city of Petaling Jaya, right beside the capital city of Kuala Lumpur.
I got the information correctly, this food court is already operating for 60 years and still running strong; and I am not surprised judging even though with the heat wave piercing through the capital city at the point of time, do not mind sitting drenched with sweat as long as they could have a good meal of the day.
I have not tried the other stalls just yet, but this was one of the stalls my friend has introduced me to for one of his favourite place. I have always liked Indian cuisine (as long as it is not overly spicy) and if one thinks that this seemed to be the best food (compared to some other pricey Indian restaurant, as long as you don't mind the natural heat and air) it has to offer for this suburb, you got to try it out and write about it.
Like any other food stalls, it is packed with usually precooked dishes for you to scoop into your plate (or packed plastic if you are ordering takeaway), and some of them, like the Indian Briyani rice, does not come cheap (because of its tedious preparation).
I wanted to try a little but the stall keeper insisted I need to take a full serving. Thank goodness I did not have any food at all for breakfast so this serves as a 2-in-1 meal.
But this stall is actually swamp with people of all races, all patiently lined up for their turn to scoop for their portion before paying up.
I so happened to take the picture above after the peak hours as I spent some good amount of time catching up with my friend whom I have not seen for a while.
One of my favourite dishes that I have picked is the red slices that is shown at the left side on my plate. You might think they are some spicy deep fried potatoes, but in fact that they are fried eggplant chips. They look spicy but the paprika is super mild and well seasoned with the right amount of salt. In fact I think you can just eat it like chips if you want to; just that it isn't the healthiest food for you to consume daily.
Maybe air-frying could help... who knows? Might try that one day.
So if you happen to be in Malaysia, and you so happened to be in the capital city and wanted some simple old fashion economy rice lunch, you can try this stall.

Oh and don't forget, bring a friend along too! It's always good to enjoy food with great company!
Hope you have enjoyed reading my little discovery as much as I have enjoyed preparing it.
Be it the good, the bad, the ugly. We all have something to learn in life.
Until Then
