Saturday Morning Rants Over Roti Canai & Teh Tarik

May 31, 2014 | 7,496 views

Roti Canai Raju

The infamous roti canai from Raju @ Jalan Gasing – Still RM1.50/USD0.50 per piece; 3 years on. At least the price is sustained. This IS Raju after all. The chutneys here are good; with your thosai or roti or whatever else you’re having.

Happy Saturday dear readers. As May is drawing to a close, it suddenly dawns on me of how much had happened over the past 5 months. Tragedies in the headlines aside, several events affected my life adversely while some others elevated the credentials slightly (writing for Yahoo! Makanation & Malay Mail Online, filming for another food show), and yet the deluge of surprises did not end there.

Another life-changing moment beckons in slightly less than 2 months’ time. Remember this post in 2010? That was “Goodbye Ipoh” after 2.5 years of writing primarily about food from Ipoh and surrounding towns in Perak. Another 3.5 years later, Motormouth is making a tough decision to leave again. To where you ask? Read the rest of this entry »

A Roti Canai & BLR Maestro @ Raju, off Jalan Gasing, PJ

March 22, 2011 | 12,219 views

Banana Leaf Rice @ Raju

An arranged chaos. You can literally dive in with manners out the windows (or in this case, the lack thereof), OR you can utilize the shiny cutlery and scoop mouthfuls of rice showered in the golden mahogany curries, with interesting clash of textures of being crispy (papadom crackers), crunchy (pickled cucumber) and chewy (mutton varuval – dry curry mutton)

Tell me about banana leaf curry rice, and I’ll sit up and pay attention. Not sure where the allure actually lies; maybe the fragrance from the leaf where your food is served? The sheer appeasing of your innermost glutton by topping up excessive portions of rice and vegetables (of course, the curry too)? Or the desire to dig in in your most barbaric manner; sans any fork or spoon, and create a mess out of the culinary experience?

Raju, off Jalan Gasing in PJ is probably legendary; a name renowned … almost synonymous with good (yet pricey) roti canai (Indian flatbread). But this was my FIRST visit after many trials and tribulations. Why? Read on for the revelation …. Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s Talk About (The BEST) Chicken Rice Now …

December 20, 2010 | 13,512 views

50 Years of History

Satellite Restaurant Chicken Rice – As old school as it gets, Satellite has been retaining that alluring charm of mosaic-tiled floors, tables with scratched surfaces, plastic chairs, and a semi-al fresco dining area on the outside complete with coolers.

And according to a poll conducted by Friedchillies, this restaurant at a corner lot on Jalan Gasing was crowned the BEST Chicken Rice in Klang Valley.

That’s saying a lot, as you know how densely populated KL-PJ are with all those chicken rice stalls plying almost every corner in every coffee shop in the neighbourhood. Just mention the chains of Nam Heong or New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice and you get commercialized Hainan chicken rice there.

Not to include the awkwardly positioned Chicken Rice Shop here, for that’s a different story altogether.

BEST Chicken Rice in Klang Valley

Was the accolade justified? You be the judge people … or hear more from the horse’s Motormouth after the jump …..
