Sri Ananda Bahwan, Tanjong Bungah, Penang

We were famished by the long drive, family visit, plus hotel check-in. Something quick and filling would do for now. We walked across the road from Flamingo Hotel and viola, we were comfortably seated at a dining area with tables well-spaced out. A multi-ethnic group was there.

Quickly settling down, we went for something quick. Naan and chapati are our usual carbohydrates. The Naan cheese was well done with a fair amount of cheese. The texture was bread-like but chewier with a lightly crisp exterior. The chapatis (I usually have 2) were soft, moist and dense just as I like it.

We ordered a clay pot chicken varuval. The aromatic and the hot spicy chicken came with the right amount of veggie fillers—a good balance. We quickly tuck in.

Our Sup Kambing came to our delight and surprise. It was not the type that you expect. This one has thickened gravy. The mutton meat was shredded. All good but I wish it was less sweet. The texture of the meat in thick gravy was an exciting introduction to perhaps a northern Indian dish. We went there another 2 times for more breakfast and lunch, always with chapatis, vadai and thosai.

Don't forget their Teh Tarik or Teh Halia. One of the better ones around. Beat all from KL's
