One more from The Chaiwalla in Banting. See earlier post of the restaurant for address and other posts on this South-East Asian ice dessert. Classic cendol from places like Klang and Seremban were featured earlier.

Banting’s Best Kept Secret
Drove into little Banting town after visiting Carey Island the other day. Settled on a nondescript restaurant named The Chaiwalla and wasn’t expecting much. Ordered their Homemade Mushroom Soup and it turned out surprisingly good.
Tried their Grilled Dory Fish next and it was excellent. Then came the Beef Stew, Seafood Marinara Pasta and Hainanese Chicken Chop. Every dish was consistently delicious, which is rare in many places. Upon inquiry, the waiter told us that the chef used to work at La Bodega Bangsar. Compliments to the Chef!
Shown in picture is their juicy grilled fish (which I cut up), served with a dash of lemon juice and a heap of tangy coleslaw.
The Chaiwalla Restaurant is at 7 & 9 Jalan Cemerlang 4, Pusat Perdagangan Banting, 42700 Banting, Selangor (opposite McDonald’s Banting). Tel: 03 3180 4861 (www.thechaiwallarestaurant.com)
Namaste’s Masala Thosai
Check out the Masala Thosai from Namaste in TTDI, the next time you are in the area. The crepe-like skin is made from a batter of rice and lentils and stuffed with spiced potatoes, fried onions and herbs. At Namaste, the delicious vegetarian meal is served with the best coconut chutney outside Kerala, India. Their tandoori chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi were excellent too.
Photographed on location with the Olympus OM-D, PanaLeica Summilux and Litepanels MicroPro. To bring out the subtle texture of the tosai (dosa), I sat the light on the table at a diagonal angle.
Namaste Indian Cusiine is at 4 Jalan Datuk Sulaiman, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur. Incidentally, the humble Masala Thosai is listed as one of the world’s 50 most delicious foods by CNNGo.
