By Invitation: Karaikudi Restaurant at Market Street, Little India

Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant @ Penang Street
I had read about Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant from Malaysia Best a long long time ago.

Passions of Kerala Banana Leaf Rice
Whenever I’m in the mood for banana leaf rice, my mind inadvertently wonders to… Passions of Kerala. The original restaurant in Gelugor was called Innira’s, while the restaurant in Service Road (off Burmah Road) was called Passions of Kerala. They now no longer carry the name Innira’s, having changed all the outlets’ name to Passions… Continue reading Passions of Kerala Banana Leaf Rice
