 So westernised. Was expecting something more, "chinese-y"

 We had a surprise-belated birthday celebration for Nellie as well.

 Us, camwhoring while waiting for the girls to dress up. They took almost 2 hours, no joke.

 Meet Joey.

The girls after 2 hours of dressing up like a doll.

(I'm not short :( I'm just not in my heels. The rest are! Unfair)

 MOIS Club, Upper Penang Road, Penang Island.

 We woke up the next morning for Wan Tan Mee.

Then we headed back to KL.

There are pictures of other places we went to as well, but it isn't that interesting. So, no point posting it up. It's just a very short trip to Penang, although it's a 3D2N trip but we didn't do much due to the time constrain. I didn't had much food in Penang Island, which was such a waste because I'm a vegan and food in Penang Island are mostly, non-vegetarian. Well more like, we didn't hunt for Vegetarian food. But overall, it was a good trip! Had good companies and met a few nice people. Next time, when I'm not a vegan, I'll photoblog about Penang Island again, this time it will be ALL ABOUT THE FOOD.

We'll do this again :)

The trip started with breakfast in Kepong at Fuh Lai.

Faces I do in the car when I'm bored. Don't bother the dreadful face, I didn't sleep the night before.

 Then we had lunch at Pulau Tikus.

Back to the hotel room, the view is magnificent. I'll recommend a stay at 

Paradise Hotel, Pulau Penang.

 What's better if you could enjoy the view with your plusone? :)

Best fritters, ever at Tanjung Bungah.

 Then, there was a proposal. Almost cried! :)

 That was the first night. Caught the moon this pretty that night.

Kavitha's Curry House

I've always wanted to share how awesome Banana Leaf Rice is from Kavitha's Curry House which is located in Section 5, Petaling Jaya or better known as Gasing Hill, PJ.

For your connivence, here's the address;

No.274, Jalan 5/51 46000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia.

In case you do not know what Banana Leaf Rice is, let me Wiki it for you.

Banana leaf rice is a typical dish in South Indian cuisine. In banana leaf rice, white rice (or parboiled rice in authentic South Indian restaurants) is served on a banana leaf with an assortment of vegetables, curried meat or fish, pickles, and/or papadum. Most of the time, however, only the gravy of the curry will be served and no meat is served as it is meant to be a traditional Indian vegetarian dish. The banana leaf is used as it is believed that the hot rice will release the coating on the banana leaf, which aids in digestion.

It is a "must try" the Signature Salted Fish Curry! Since we came a little too early that day, we actually waited an hour plus for the curry to be done! worth the wait! It is more advisable to go to this place after 12pm.

I love my banana leaf rice flooded with curry and tairu (fresh yogurt), but in this case, I was vegetarian that day and I felt guilty eating too much of meat. Shouldn't be eating meat at all, but how can i resist? :O

It is traditionally eaten with the hand. If you don't, you're defeating the whole purpose of eating Banana Leaf Rice, really. So let's use God's given gift and get messy!

In Malaysia, to show your appreciation after a satisfying meal, fold the banana leaf towards you to signify that the meal was good and delicious. Folding the opposite direction signifies that the meal was not satisfying. I fold it upwards because I was freaking satisfied. The cup act as a weight, or else, your banana leaf will open up again, like duh. lol!

My lunchmates was

Poker Face Anir.

and Abel.

That's exactly how you will look like after a good meal at Kavitha's Curry House!

For unlimited rice, vegetables, papadum, fried bittergourd, and curry for less than RM6.

Isn't it a good deal?

and blogging about this, I'm drooling for Banana Leaf Rice. Damn!
