Makan apaw! Banana leaf! That yummy thing! You can either have it as a vegetarian meal or add some chicken or fish dishes! Jaipur Curry house is easy to find but parking can be really tricky!

Just a plain, ordinary sign but wait until

you go inside....

I had the vegetarian banana leaf rice. Papadoms, pumpkin,

cucumber, fried spinach, mango chutney, spinach curry.

Aerial view! In the small bowl in the middle is fried bitter gourd.

Yummy and crispy. And not forgetting those sourish, fried

dried chillies in yogurt , moor mollega.

Some rasam, to cleanse the palate.

The aftermath!

After all that, if you still have room,

try their humongous karipap (or currypuff, a small pie like, 

filled with curry chicken and potatoes) which has a quarter slice 

 of a half boiled egg in it.

Or you can just cross the road

and buy some putu piring (steamed rice cakes

with grated coconut and palm sugar).

These sell like hot cakes too!

Just look for that pink signboard now!

The place is almost always packed especially during lunch and Fridays.

So go early!

Makan apaw! Right, more chicken! This time Kyochon 1991

Honey series, Red series, Salsas series.

Their three promises to you!

True! It was different!

   

Radish - yummy but a bit tart

On to the main course. This is from their all day combo,

small set 2. For RM16.90, you get 5 Salsal pieces,

rice, soup, ice lemon tea or soda and choice of sauce,

Jambalaya, Honey mustard or red (spicy).

I chose red....it was really spicy. It wasn't a dipping

sauce for me but rather dabbing sauce!

Salsal strips - chicken breast strips coated

in rice batter. Real crispy!

Ice lemon tea - nice not sweet & I like that 

square like glass.

Combo - picture is a bit blurry.

Red series - medium stick

Honey series - wings & drummet small

The waiter placed this tall steel container  on our table

and said to place the bones there. Keeps the table clean!

No bones pile next to plate, easy to dispose off too.

Gonna try this next time!

Their tapau box is the cutest! And yes, having

Lee Min Ho there doesn't hurt. 

Doesn't hurt at all! LOL!

Secret Recipe - Fish and Chips, Lasagne

Not just good for cheese cakes....

Just like wall says, yummy! Makan apaw!

If you're looking for crispy, 

but still moist on the inside not oily  fish and chips,

 try Secret Recipe's fish and chips.  

There's two types, plain and spicy.

Not much difference between the spicy fish and chips (above)

and the plain fish and chips (below). There's just a bit more

of a bite to the spicy one. Just look at those golden brown pieces of fish!

Squeeze some lemon top and you're set!

Both sets are served with a nice handful of fresh greens, 

crunchy purple cabbages.

Try it!!

The lasagne! Oozing with cheese!

 Ignore the visual and dig in! Yummy!
