This is turning out to be one of those days where we just
don’t get to eat at our intended restaurant. We had meant to try out Kashmir Café
here and even got the coordinates punched in. if only we had made a right
instead of a left at the crucial moment. In hindsight we could not complain as De
Bistro had a treat in store for curry loving Brendan.

Despite the fancy name, for all intents and purposes De
Bistro is your typical 1Mamak restaurant. Brendan and I headed to the
curry stand while Cat wanted something stir fried. After some deliberating
Brendan settled on the Deep Fried Chicken in thick batter with rice while I tried
the Warli Style Spicy 2Curried Mutton with rice. Cat was not in the
mood for curry so she ordered the 3Ayam Padprik with rice.

We both agreed that this was some of the best South Indian
curry we’ve had, and could actually rival our favourite curry at Abang Abu.
Cat did not enjoy her Ayam Padprik, and to make things worse her dish arrived
after Brendan and I finished eating. If we come here again it will only be for
the curry.

The damage? Together with Iced Lemon Tea for Cat and Brendan
and Iced Nescafe for me it came to RM31, well within the realms of the everyday
food for the everyday person.
What became of our plans to patronize Kashmir Café? Turns out
its located up the road to the right, we’ll be making plans to give it a go
later this month.
N/B: A few months later we managed to visit Kashmir Cafe, you can read about it here.
