Restoran Kapitan’s Famous Naan and Tandoori @ Lebuh Chulia
Feb 3rd
Seems like quite many people were interested in the Chicken Tandoori photo I put up in my last update. So, I am gonna blog about it first ahead of the rest. Well, to be honest I myself can’t wait to write this post because it is the nicest food I had in my entire Chinese New Year holidays. Kapitan’s [tag]Restaurant[/tag] located at [tag]Chulia Street[/tag] (Lebuh Chulia) is said to serve the best Naan bread and Biryani in town, recommended to me by an Indian friend.
The restaurant is usually full when near to dinner time from 5 to 6 pm onwards. If you’re dining during the peak hours, you may have to wait up to an hour for your food to arrive. The menu is quite extensive offering conventional Indian foods like roti canai, [tag]naan[/tag], biryani, curries, nasi kandar and some Western fares like chicken chop as well. I ordered a teh ais @ RM1.20, which was quite different because of the tea leaves used – nice, aromatic and most importantly not too sweet.

[tag]Little India[/tag] in [tag]Penang[/tag] is the place to look for good [tag]Indian food[/tag]. Once you step into Little India you will first be greeted by the smell of burning incense sticks, the sights of colorful clothes and the hearing of loud Indian music.
Mumbai House Restaurant
Sep 12th
Located in Krystal Point, Mumbai House is a restaurant that serves Northern Southern Indian & British [tag]Indian Cuisine[/tag]. We heard it serves excellent curry so we decided to give it a try last Friday.
Menu items are categorized into Tandoori, Fish, Vegetable, Nan, Indian Rice.. etc. For someone who rarely patronize Indian restaurants like me, ordering the food is quite difficult. Luckily the waiters were friendly and helpful, so we followed most of dishes ordered were their recommendations. There were some flies around.. according to the waiters it was due to the rain. So they lit this to help chase the flies away.
We started our meal with Indian crackers with some sauce. Not sure what the sauce is made of.. but it was good lol.
My drink – Masala Tea @ RM4.50. Googling “Masala” did not give much information, seems like it is a general term for “a mix of different spices”. Masala Tea tasted like normal teh tarik (they did tarik it first) and ginger. I didn’t really like the taste.. but it was a new experience.
Our appetizer was Tanggeri Chicken @RM12.90 from the Tandoori menu. It has a piece of grilled chicken thigh, some onions and carrots with a small piece of cut lime.
Then came our vegetable, Navarathan Kurma @ RM9.00. This dish has 9 different vegetables cooked in cashewnut gravy. Neat stuff.
Fish Masala @ RM13.90. This gravy is very dry and goes well with the nan.
Makhen Nan @ RM3.50 is actually butter nan. Very crispy and the butter makes the nan bread golden shiny.
