Once upon a time, i would state Indian as my favourite food type cos i just couldn’t get enough curry. I LOVE CURRY. It’s the one thing i crave-till-i-want-to-die-for after spending weeks in Europe. Now i know where i can satiate my curry cravings overseas, but they still can’t beat local curry. The level of spiciness overseas is like playing with a kitty cat.

Herukh and Kubhaer‘s family have opened a curry house in Bangsar… and it took me so long to get my ass there cos it was Christmas, then Chinese New Year, then i was away a lot. After reading tempting tweets about people going there i just HAD TO GO.

FINALLY MADE MY WAY THERE LAST SATURDAY!!!

I was told by others that the must-try dish is their mutton briyani which i excitedly ordered. It comes in a cute lil tin pot like this.

The flour on the side seals in the heat while cooking.

Kubz shows me how it’s done. So after you’ve got it off, you just chuck it and dig into the pot!

This is really bad. I’m saying this is really bad because now i’ve just got something else added to my Crave List. It’s one of those dishes you’ll CRAVE and can’t get anywhere else but THERE.

Besides mutton, there’s also a chicken briyani option. I heard you have to book the pots beforehand if you don’t want to arrive disappointed! The briyani recipe is from their family in Hyderabad, according to Kubz. He doesn’t work there but usually sits in the curry house to PR or look like he’s helping out. I heard Herukh does all the work. Tee hee.

I finished everything! And it was A LOT. I will dub you a MONSTER if you eat all that and say you’re still hungry…

Since we’re on the topic of curries, i’m gonna add in pictures of my favourite curries in TTDI that i never posted!

There’s this little food stall by the drain (i know it’s not very glamourous but the BEST fish head curry in my books!) off Jalan Datuk Sulaiman in TTDI. You know the row with Vinz on it? Directly behind that row on the other end is one stall run by a Malay couple. They’ve had that store since i moved to the neighborhood at twelve. Even the local police eat there.

Oh man i’m dying just looking at this picture. How do you food bloggers do this to yourself!? The fish curry doesn’t have a lot of bones, and there’s heaps of gravy to go around. Thing is you gotta get there around 11am-12pm to buy it. Sometimes they finish, or sometimes they don’t feel like cooking it. Driving there in anticipation is like gambling with the God of Food.

Another curry i adore to BITS is this curry laksa that is on the same row as Jasema Enterprise and Restaurant OK, also in TTDI. In between the two aforementioned is a small coffee shop with one very grouchy Chinese auntie selling it. If you love fatty curry laksa with coconut milk and a slight kick to it, you’ll love this. It’s got long beans, fresh cockles and chicken; plus she’ll throw in 3 fishballs for an additional RM1. Price without fishballs is RM5.50.

This is the reason i still go there despite its curt owner. I always give her a small smile when i order, but she’s usually huffing away about something or other. She knows i can’t speak Chinese and has already asked me WHY 4 times last year. Her husband is really nice though, and usually tries to serve me cos i think he’s seen enough of my scared face.

However, this curry laksa is so good, i couldn’t stop thinking about it on cold winter days in France. I’ve even considered buying the recipe from her if i ever had to move to France. Thought i’d open a curry laksa shop. So that i have an excuse to have it every week (cos that’s how often i have it here. Sometimes even up to thrice a week.)

But then i thought about how willing she’d be to sell the recipe to me, and thought there might be a major fight for it, or she’ll charge me something like RM20,000. And then i got to thinking, how far would i go for a curry laksa recipe…

Damn i wrote a lot more about curries than i meant to! See this is what happens when i talk about food, just go on and on. LOVE FOOD. FOOD IS LIFE. CURRY IS EVEN BETTER.
