Hello!!!!!!!!!
My Restaurant Review from the capital of Malaysia –Kualalumpur.Kualalumpur is a cosmo city with people from various countries living in harmony.This has introduced people to various cuisines from different parts of the world. People are exposed to various cuisines from around the world. It is an absolute Food heaven.
I visited Kualalumpur after a gap of 10 years. This city has changed a lot in the last 10 years.Many new buildings and malls have sprung up .People are spoilt for choices for shopping and food.Traffic has increased tremendously and driving around the city is not easy if you are not familiar.People on the streets are ready to help and guide you anytime. I was thrilled when I got to know that MTR Restaurant had opened in the heart of the city. People from Karnataka who know MTR can relate my excitement.I had to visit this restaurant to taste the authentic vegetarian cuisine from Karnataka.
MTR (Mavalli Tiffin Room) has grown tremendously as a brand and have many outlets outside India. It is a 100 year old chain .Their strength is the authentic taste they maintain in all their outlets.Some of the dishes is a die for.MTR 1924 is located at 69,Jalan Thambipillay ,Brickfields, 50470, Kulalalumpur. A nice cozy place which gives a nice positive feel to all the diners. They have an open kitchen which is not common in restaurants. It is clean and very well maintained. The Chefs have been trained inhouse by MTR before they start working in the outlets. There is a sense of discipline and attention to the details in all areas.
We tried some of the signature dishes and were taken down the memory lane. I just love their Dosa Varities that is so crisp and melt in the mouth. Nobody can match this .Masala dosa is stuffed with spiced potatoes and served with fresh Ghee, Sambar ,Coconut Chutney .Piping hot Masala dosa drizzled with fresh ghee dipped in Sambar and chutney is an absolute bliss.Try it to believe it.
MUST TRY DISHES:
We tasted another signature dish called Podi Dosa. Chutney Powder is sprinkled on the dosa and served with spiced potatoes ,ghee ,sambar and coconut chutney.Podi has a slightly coarse texture made with a concoction of spices and turmeric. I warn you that this is highly addictive.Try it to believe it.
We tried Crisp Urad vada served with Sambar ,red chutney and coconut chutney. Crisp vadas are an absolute die for.You can hear the sound when you take a bite and feel the crispness on the outside and softness inside.The recipe is a well guarded one.
We also tasted Mangalore Buns that are rarely found on Restaurant menu cards. These fluffy semi sweet buns made from a mixture of flour and bananas and served with coconut chutney and Sagu.You must try this whenever you visit.This is traditional recipe from Mangalore.
Next on our menu was Rava Masala Dosa.I love crisp dosas and this was one of favourite dish.It is stuffed with spiced potato and served with fresh ghee ,sambar,coconut chutney .This will absolutely leave you craving for more.
We then tried and absolute classic combo dish Kharabath and Kesribath.Kharabath is a savoury dish made from Semolina and Kesribath is a sweet dish made from Semolina.These two compliment each other very well and is one of the main dish on the menu for any auspicious occasion. Kharabath tasted perfect with the balanced blend of spices and is not very spicy. Kesribath was perfect as well with right amount sweetness. I loved this combo as I had it after ages.
We also tried their Special Mini Meals which comprises of Kosambari (salad),palya(Sauted Veggies),Vegetable sagu ,Bisi bele bath,Plain Rice ,Curd Rice,Sambar ,Rasam,Papad,Pickle,Payasam (sweet) and dessert served with Chapati /Poori /Dosa /Akkirotti.If you don’t eat white rice they will substitute with one additional chapatti/poori/dosa /akkirotti. This is a perfect balance of nutrients and the quantity is perfect for one adult.
Management here is approachable and friendly. Customer’s feedback is taken very seriously and immediately attended too.Staff is also very friendly and service is awesome. Locals love this place so much and sometimes there are large numbers queueing up.To cater to additional crowd they use the party hall on the first floor. Lot of Parties are being catered to by MTR Malaysia.Locals are happy to host parties here too.That is an immense achievement in a span of less than an year.
My visit to Kl this time was a memorable one as I got a chance to feast on our traditional south Indian food which is authentic and hygenic.
This restaurant has acquired a A Certificate for Cleanliness by the local Government Body.
Do visit this place whenever you plan to visit Kualalumpur.You will not be disappointed.
Thank you Arvind and Jayanthi for being such a wonderful host.
