Malayas Bistro @ CapSquare, Kuala Lumpur

Remember that we mentioned about how much we adore stepping into restaurants that are 'old'?
Well, not exactly 'old' in terms of it being there for quite sometime but also goes to those with the retro essence. Going back in time is a very good idea for a restaurant.
Reminiscence......





Malayas Bistro nestled at Capsquare is a hidden gem that brought out the flavours of Malaya (Malaysia). Dining at this restaurant reminded me of "1957: Hati Malaya", a movie that flashback the days for the tough route towards independence and how the founding fathers sacrified to free us from colonialism. I believe you would feel that way too. Wipe out the boring topics that we just memorized hard by words just to pass the history test and indulge in this atmosphere and the heritage they are trying to preserve taking you to old Malaya.

Spice Garden @ Highlands Hotel, Genting Highlands

Nowadays, when we made our way up to Genting Highlands, we would be scratching our heads when it comes to dinner time.


Consider this place if you would like to try something new to get your tastebuds seduced & tantalized... by spices.. & be prepared for a splurge.


Spice Garden currently has four branches in Malaysia and from what we heard they serve delectable authentic Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Genting's branch has an intimate atmosphere.





Indian and middle eastern cuisine boasts a distinctive flavour and aroma & we were excited to try.Their Tandoori dishes are marinated in yoghurt with herbs and spices and then cooked in the tandoor kept at a very high temperature with burning charcoal.


Mango Lassi - RM10.90
Just decent - too much yoghurt over mango. Still incomparable to Tetra's @ Klang.







Fish Tikka Achar - RM12.90







Tandoori Chicken (medium spicy) - RM25.90







Chicken Malai (Medium spicy) - RM27.90







Dal Sultani - RM21.90
We thought this was kinda overpriced. But the dal rocks! Flavours drenched with herbs and spices. Goes great with the naans.







Assorted Bread Basket (loaded with a variety flavours of naan) - RM35.90







Plain Briyani - RM16.90







Verdict: a great place to dine if you don't mind spending more. Distinctive flavours and very memorable. Anyhow, everything seems to be pricey in Genting. *wink*

Tetra House of Briyani @ Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang

Tetra House of Briyani is one of my dad's favourite. Thanks to him for driving us the extra miles to this hidden treasure in Klang, we have a new hang out place if we ever wanna top up our dose of lassis and briyani.

It's very comforting to be seated in an eatery decorated with a mixture of refinement. What I am referring to was the Chinese paintings hung on walls and Indian culture carvings and other decos. It's not poshy but you'll find this place restful.

It has become a habit for us when it comes of ordering in Tetra, as if we don't need a menu to fuss on what to eat this time. Briyani and Lassi .fullstop.
