I always look forward to Sunday lunch these days because it is always a good time to hang out with church friends!
Though usually it is extra exhausting for me after Sunday church after watching over the children in church, I know my children and even us adults need the social bonding too after church especially with some people we only see once a week or even for some once in a blue moon.
Today we decided to pop by an eatery that is ALWAYS full house and hard to get seat for lunch hour. However, today is the first day of Ramadhan when the Muslims have started their fast for a month so guess what?!
We managed to join a long table and all who went get to sit together! That is super rare, okay? Hahahah. We often get separated because our group is usually too big.
Okay so they are running some attractive promotion for Iftar, which is the time when Muslims open fast and they can dine in.
Here is their menu. We ordered some family combo today.
Rice served!
Some of my friends and us ordered extra dishes such as butter chicken.
Some beef.
Fried chicken 65. I have no idea why it is named that.
Fried squid. This was really good that my eldest could not stop digging in. It is his first time trying squid.
Banana leaf rice today is served with their spiced pumpkin, cucumber with yogurt, and fried snakegourd. YES, OF COURSE THEY WERE SERVED ON A BANANA LEAF.
We can choose our own curry too. They have choice of crab curry, chicken curry, dhal and another curry that I cannot identify. All so yummy!
Here is some rassam. An Indian friend who introduced this spiced drink to me said in their Indian culture, whenver they feel sick, rassam is the best to go for!
This is teh tarik which is pulled tea with milk.
My favorite has got to be this- cucumber with yogurt! It is so well done today! We can ask for add ons for the 3 dishes on the banana leaf and the rice so I added on more of this dish!
Here is how the place looks like. It is the first time I feel I can eat in peace in this place as usually it is overcrowded and I get overwhelmed by crowds and noises. So it is my first time taking a look at their surrounding, you know.
Here is one of the servers flattening out their banana leaves.
Satisfying lunch! A friend taught us if we like the meal, we fold the banana leaf towards us as an indication.
Burppppppp! Oops! Hahahah Twas a good time and a great lunch!
