Tasty Chapatti, Jalan Ipoh

Located at the Viva commercial complex off Jalan Ipoh, Tasty Chapatti is a hidden gem for Punjabi food in KL. The namesake chapattis are soft and tasty, though rather small in size. You would need about 3 chapattis for an average eater. A good way to start would be to order the Chapatti set which comes with choice of two vegetables, dhall, papadam, two chapattis and an Indian sweet (laddu in this case).

A la carte orders allow more exploration. A very simple dish which goes very well with the chapatti is sardine curry.

Masala chicken is another good choice to accompany the chappati.

Mutton keema (minced mutton) is good and relatively mild on the spice scale.

If the spices start getting to you, cool down with a mango lassi - great for keeping cool.

Also recommended are the Sarron Ka Saag which is a combination of various types of vegetables including spinach and mustard greens. It looks mushy but is very tasty and is a very authentic Punjabi staple. Best eaten with a nice dollop of ghee.

Riverview Small Village Restaurant, Bamboo Garden, Jalan Ipoh

Located behind the Petronas station at Batu 4 Jalan Ipoh and beside Sg Batu is this small restaurant appropriately called Riverview Small Village Restaurant. Their signature dishes include what can be described as a White (or pale) Hokkien Mee. With lots of lard, its tasty to the last strand of noodle.

Thanks to my friend KK Chong for recommending a few other signature dishes, firstly the fish (or frog if you prefer) porridge.

Chinese style scrambled egg, light and fluffy.

And their signature Ma Yow Yee with salted vegetable gravy, which is great with rice or porridge.

Sit at the upper deck if possible as the lower deck near the river gets the exhaust fumes from the kitchen and you end up with greasy smelling clothes after lunch. It gets a little warm on hot days so take off your ties.
