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.

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.

Organic Express

There is a new restaurant in PJ that will make hipsters weep with joy. It is not only organic but is also vegetarian. Yes. A restaurant that serves traditional Chinese dishes meatless and from healthy organically-grown ingredients. For a quick bite, their yummy vegan Yam Basket shown here is a good choice. Organic Express is located at Jalan SS 2/30. Photographed with the Olympus OM-D and Pana-Leica D Summilux.
