Nasi Kandar Arifah
Jalan Kasipillay off Jalan Ipoh
51200 Kuala Lumpur
(Coordinates: E101° 41' 7.9" N3° 10' 38.7")
Brendan was attending a birthday bash held at an apartment nearby and since
it was scheduled to end at 9:00PM, Cat and I decided to have dinner here while
we waited. We came here once before (during the time when I was still grappling
with the effects of hypothyroidism) but did not manage to cover it on our blog.

we didn't come for the nasi kandar |
If I recalled correctly, I quite enjoyed the thick and fluffy 1Roti
Naan the last time we were here; I duly ordered the same this time round while
Cat ordered a plate of 2Mee Goreng.
1thick flatbread made of wheat flour leavened with yeast and
usually cooked in an earth stove
2thin yellow egg noodles usually stir fried with garlic, onion, prawn, squids, chicken, beef, chili, cabbages, tomatoes, egg and bean sprouts

iced nescafe and coke |

While the Roti Naan did not disappoint, the usual accompanying side dishes
were absent save for a generous portion of thick dhal curry. We guess it’s a sign
of the times, and glance at the cash
register counter confirmed our suspicions that this restaurant (like most
others) is facing cash flow problems. How do we know this? Cigarette suppliers
do not provide on credit, and when a restaurant’s cigarette stall is empty this
signifies that it can no longer meet the cash terms demanded of the supplier.
The damage? Since it was just the two of us dining the total came to RM11.30
which is definitely within the realms of the everyday food for the everyday
person. Here’s hoping this restaurant weathers the storm as we would hate to miss
its Roti Naan.
