Kumar's @ Oasis Square, Ara Damansara, PJ

One will be spoilt for choices when they enter Oasis Square. Just like the very serene feeling, contributed by its water features at the centre, surrounded by various F&B outlets. 

Spotted Kumar's from the opposite, and our taste bud was somehow inclined to Indian food that night. We did not realized how packed the restaurant was, from the outside. I liked the entire deco of Kumar's, as it has quite modern touch, and gives me the feeling that I stepped in an Indian restaurant in overseas.

Kumar's serve South Indian restaurant that is famed for its curry fish head, and they boast a long history of experience, where they first started its business at Brickfields in 1969.

Packed restaurant 

 

 

 

 

 

We needed a light meal, so we ordered just 1 meat, 1 vegetable and garlic naan to go with it.

Garlic Naan. Price - RM4.90

 

We simply love the stewed spinach cooked with dhall.. The thickness of the dhall that blends in well with the softness from the cooked spinach compliments our naan so well. 

Spinach with Dhall. Price-RM12.90

The spices used for the red snapper fish was a true thumbs up. Its pretty spicy, however, its something that I want to bear with as the fragrant of the spices is something I couldn't resist.

Red Snapper with Samba. Price-RM15.90

We ordered the natural sweet lassi. As much as its called sweet lassi, the sweetness is just nice.

Overall a thumbs up experience. I would definitely return here with a bigger group so that I can try more of its other dishes.

Saffron @ Sri Hartamas, KL

Past few weeks, I've had craving for  Indian restaurant that I frequented more than 10 years ago... Oh, why haven't I been there for so long?

Heading to the neighbourhood the other day, took the chance to visit Saffron for lunch.

Saffron is a family business, serving Northern Indian dishes.

The boss is looking not any less passionate as I last saw him, and upon checking with him, they have now been opened for 19 years... What a record! since nowadays we see many F&B open and close over a short span of operation.

Simple and cosy setting  

Checked the ala-carte menu, but saw the option for Set Lunch which is highly recommended...You get a portion of meat, vege, bread or rice plus yoghurt salad. What else could we ask for, at the price of RM12.90 which offers you good quality food.

Set Lunch options

For the set lunch, we get smaller portion vs if we were to order them ala carte, but the portion given as part of set lunch isn't too little as well. So, worth it!

For the 1st set, we opted for 'Butter Chicken', which is boneless chicken cubes braised in creamy almond and butter sauce, accompanied by 'Maharaja Baingen' which is eggplant spiced with garam masala. They both taste very rich in flavor. I have always loved their 'Bahtura', which is Saffron's specialty.. It's fluffy naan like bread, but this texture carries a slight crispiness and thin.

Set Lunch 1

As fr the second set lunch, we opted for 'Saffron Mirch Murgh', which is chicken and potatoes in spicy curry, flavored with dried chilli and curry leaves, "Sang Aloo' which is home-style potatoes cooked with lightly spiced spinach and "Bhatura".

Set Lunch 2

Overall the food in Saffron has just the right balance in flavor, spiciness and for those who appreciate spices, they will surely love the food served here.
