KAMPUNGBOYCITYGAL A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG

Time to break away from the mundane Chinese food and indulge on some burning or hot sensation Indian cuisine without burning a hole in our pocket. So here we are at Sri Nirvana Maju on a Sunday noon, parking is hell at Jalan Telawi even though there were ample of parking inside bangsar village where they charge by HOURS.

Very often that we get some soggy and overcooked magi goreng at mamak stalls but their version of Maggi Goreng (RM 4) is cooked to perfection as the noodles are al dente with the right amount of spiciness and ingredients.

Some drinks to sooth the erupting spiciness along your tongue – Teh Ice and Air Kosong

For something more substantial, we opted for the banana leaf rice meal (RM 5.50). Rice and vegetables are a prominent feature where white rice is served on a Yele Sapede (banana leaf) with an assortment of vegetables, pickles, a selection of curry dishes such as Rice Meen Curry (Fish Curry), Koli Curry (Chicken Curry), Dhal (Boiled Lentils)and papadum (Indian Crackers).

During the first visit here with my ex-colleagues, we had the deep fried calamari (RM 18). Lightly seasoned and deep fried to golden brown, it comes with some curry leaves, dried chillies and onion. A squeeze of lime would give it the extra oommpphh.

Chicken Masala (RM 4) is a westernized Indian dish based on baked chicken chunks (chicken tikka) cooked in a curry sauce. It was very well marinated and flavourful but the chicken chunks are a tad too dry.

Lamb curry (RM 5). Tender pieces of boneless lamb are served in a thick and rich curry concoction. Two thumbs up to the tender chunks and rich curry but it is not something for those who can’t even stomach the smell of lamb meat because the smell is quite heavy.

Sambal Egg (RM 1.50 each)

Another banana leaf rice place that we will definitely drop by again, if only parking is a breeze (sigh).

Apart from steamboat, Lin Yuan also serves Chinese cuisine from simple Chinese dishes such as mouth-watering Fried Yee Mee to delectable Fried Crab with salted egg. While waiting, KampungBoy’s sister ordered the Fried Mee Hon with Stewed Pork to cure our hunger pangs. The canned stew pork is sinfully delicious melt in your mouth texture, and the gravy is evenly soaked up by the mee hoon.

Instead of the normal clear broth, tom yam or herbal soup base, we had the ‘Golden Pumpkin Porridge‘ soup base which is a very healthy choice. The thick soup base, being the first in Malaysia (DUN PLAY PLAY) is sweet and creamy.
