The times was 10pm, and I suddenly felt hungry even though I had a heavy dinner. I ask @irmeyhamidi whether she wanted to go out and get something to eat at Shazz Curry House restaurant; a local mamak restaurant.
Mamak stalls originate from Tamil Muslim origins of, whose forefathers mostly migrated from South India to the Malay Peninsula and various locations in Southeast Asia centuries ago. They are regarded as part of the Malaysian Indian/Singaporean Indian community: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamak_stall
She said yes. All of us get ready and went straight to the restaurant by car. The weather was cold because it just stop raining. Shazz restaurant is really nearby our house. The distance is approximately around 300 meters, or 1 minute of driving.
In total, I spent 7.5USD for our supper tonight. There is a hike in price. However, it is still considered reasonable and affordable price for the foods and drinks that we have ordered.
Shazz Curry House restaurant is located at the end of the shop lot. In Kuala Lumpur, mamak restaurant typically opened at corner lot because they have much bigger space to put their tables.
There was not so many customers when we were there. Not sure why numbers of customer are not as many as usual. Could be because the time that we arrive, or because of the heavy rain.
At the table, we were greeted by a waiter that was ready to take our order. I and @irmeyhamidi ordered a less sweet Teh Tarik. My eldest daughter (
@rosyadah) ordered ice tea, and my youngest daughter (
@raihanah) ordered a can of ice lemon tea.
Since there was not so many customer, the ordered drinks arrived immediately. One thing I like about this restaurant is, whenever I order a less sweet teh tarik, for sure it will be less sweet.
Compared to other restaurants or stalls that I have been to, the less sweet version of teh tarik still taste as sweet as the normal version.
Teh tarik, also known as is a popular hot milk tea beverage most commonly found in restaurants, outdoor stalls, mamaks and kopitiams within the Southeast Asian countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teh_tarik
While waiting for our food to arrive, I took out my smartphone and try to get a wefie. As usual, my youngest daughter will make silly face whenever I try to take a family photo.
This is what I ordered to eat; a cheese naan. Next to it was my less sweet teh tarik. The cheese naan is freshly made and it was steaming hot when I tear it apart to eat.
I'm having a hard time finishing the cheese naan. The naan was thick but soft, and in the centre was pack with cheese. In the end, I managed to finished most of the naan.
This is what @irmeyhamidi ordered; a Maggi soup. As the name suggest, it is a meal made using Maggi instant noodle. However, the soup is made using fresh ingredients instead of using the pre-packed seasoning.
You can judge by the soup red color; you are right, it was really spicy. Well, that is Malaysian food in a nutshell. Luckily @irmeyhamidi can handle spicy food unlike me.
While @rosyadah and
@raihanah share a plate of fried Maggi noodle. They specifically ask the waiter to make the fried maggi to be not spicy. Even so, the fried maggi received is a wee bit spicy.
Actually I wanted to come close and record the process of making cheese naan. But I was too tired and lazy to walk to the stall. So I took one picture from far.
To be honest, I was drooling looking at the tandoori chicken... π€€π€€
