Demona brought me to this popular Indian Restaurant@Gasing, Petaling Jaya for a sumptuous lunch. It is supposed to be one of the popular places where you people gaze and spot celebrities due to Raju's close proximity to a wealthy neighborhood. Above is the funny mascot welcoming us upon reaching the place.
One of the waiter offered us a fried fish cake. It tasted very much like a typical vadai (onions, pepper, indian spice, green chilli) except with a tad sweet fish taste. Not bad.
Popadams: Demona just can't stop munching and these are the popadam's for her. nothing special about the popadams but I'm glad it did not has the usual pungent refried oil smell found in certain stalls.
Fried Fish (tengiri): The fried fish was fresh with a crunchy outer layer while retaining enough moist inside. Pleasant! However, i believe Kanna still does a better fried Tenggiri fish thou!
Roti Canai/Prata: Nice chewy roti canai drenched in spicy chicken/fish curry. I had always prefer the KL roti canai compared to Singapore's due to the thicker/chewier dough. You get a meatier bite from the generous amount of dough ( probably also due to enough time spent on tossing the dough in the air while preparing it). Kudos to Raju's Roti for maintaining the standard!
Demona's Egg Thosai: This is Demona's staple food. Fluffy light thosai covered in egg. Raju's version is good, clean, generous thosai. The thick chicken curry has abundant of good ol'spice to kick up a satisfactory meal! Thumbs up from Demona!
Chutney: This is awesome!!! Demona ordered this (FOC) and it came out fresh from the fridge. A strong floral,minty aroma fills the air and the chutney was creamy with enough of small bits(peas?) to provide an excellent mouthfil. Best chutney in KL indian mamak to date!
Fried Bittergourd: Raju's version is done differently from the rest. The bittergourd is lightly coated with flour and fried till crispy together with the seeds. The bittergourd was something in between soft and crunchy while the seeds were super crunchy which gives a multi layered bite to this simple but interesting dish.
Thosai making machine: this machine was used to prepare the dough for the thosai. Interesting tool!
Selection of seafoods to be fried: there are tons of fresh seafood marinated in red spices for you to choose from. There are huge 7inchers Udang Galah (tiger prawn?), calamari, assorted fish as well as fish roes.. I'll try them next time!
