Bumbung’s very hectic open-air kitchen and big frying pan were equally dark. I was fascinated how a simple omelette can attract so many diners.

A Place Without A Roof Named Bumbung
There is a place in PJ that gives popular Chinese ‘mamak’ Murni SS2 competition. It is an Indian ‘mamak’ with no roof; ironically named… eh… Bumbung (roof)!
Located in Paramount Garden, many of its multi-racial patrons refer to it as Nasi Lemak Maybank (the next door landmark). Its speciality is crispy fried chicken and, surprisingly, telur goreng (fried egg omelette). Unlike other ‘al fresco’ night-time mamak stalls, this one occupies a very dim and long backlane.
It took the bright Pana-Leica 25mm f1.4 lens and the OM-D to rein in what was really dark, even to the naked eyes.

Nasi Tumpang
Am happy to discover an authentic Malay restaurant inside Mid Valley Megamall. Known as The Warung, the eatery tries to replicate a warung-style eating experience in its own little corner. The tables have stainless steel tops with matching square wooden stools.
One of their signature dishes is Nasi Tumpang (RM 9.80 before tax). It is an unique bundle served in a long conical paper and banana leaf wrapper. The rice has curry beef (or chicken), meat floss, omelette slice with side garnishings of keropok (cracker) and achar (pickles).
The Warung is at F028C, Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur (next to Rotiboy and near the pedestrian bridge to the KTM Komuter Station).
