Selasih

Holy Basil (Tulsi or Selasih) seeds in lemon rose syrup is a refreshing cold drink served at Nyonya Valley, Ukay Boulevard. I placed a LitePanels LP-Micro as a single light source under the glass. Since the light has variable output, I was able to trim until I got the right intensity for the chosen f3.7 – 1/80 sec manual setting.

Using the optional VF-2 viewfinder on the OM-D made angled viewing and adjustment from the dining table POV easier. Lens was the relatively huge but very sharp Four Third 12-60mm f2.8 Zuiko Digital via the MMF-3 adaptor. Quite a contraption for a dinner outing but a good drink deserves the best gear 🙂

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.
