“Chats knows his sh@t” (Paraphrasing Anthony Bourdain on Simon Majumdar)
I have figured out that the best way to see K L is to not see the Twin Towers. And it helps if you know KL food aficionados such as Arindam (Chats) and Sasha. My time with them saw a Chinese breakfast/ dinner on day one, frogs on day two and lots in between. After an animated debate decisions were made on our last lunch together. Rendang was dropped (“primitive Mughlai’, Arindam). As was Siew Yoke (heavenly pork but not as native as what we settled on, Sasha).
So off we drove to K L’s Mutiara Damansara for lunch.
We went to Restoran Super Kitchen. The original branch is in downtown K L. Run by a father and son. You apparently get to see them make hand made noodles in front of you. But you have to wait for more than an hour and the owners apparently don’t suffer impatience kindly.
The branch at Mutiara was different. The owner greeted Arindam with a big smile. The waiter was friendly and took our from many angles. The food that followed showed why they didn’t bother wasting time on developing a brand name. ‘Super Kitchen’ said it all.
