Restoran Mamak Kampung
What to eat: Roti, Tea Tarik along with Chicken, Fish.
Where: Next to Victory Boutique Hotel, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
Verdict: We stayed in Victory Boutique Hotel in KL during our last Malaysian visit. So this is the only option for chai and late night meal. This restoran (means "Restaurant" in Malay language) is open for 24 hours with staff working in 2 shifts. We had Roti Canai (Regular Parotta), Roti Canai (Egg Parotta) and Tea Tarik (Tea made of milk cream).
They have a comprehensive menu of non veg delicacies made out of Egg, Chicken, Fish, but no pork as most of the customers are muslim. Meat and Seafood fries and gravy items are available all through out the day and night, even at 5AM ;) We were deeply skeptical to have meat at early morning, but the local eat all the time. We also used to have dosai sometimes which is pretty ok.
Shop owner and one of the cook were happy to see us speaking tamil. Had a nice discussion with them about their last visit to Tamilnadu. Chef who works in night shift was from Sivakasi, a small town in Tamilnadu. They really do a lot of hard work...managing a resto for 24x7 is not that easy. But it seems pretty easy in Bukit Bintang area due to the easy procedure to acquire license compared to corrupted departments in India. Indian Govt should bring out a department to handle the whole set of licenses for hawker stalls and restaurants so that lakhs of people gets employed. Hope my wish becomes a reality soon in our country.
