If you live in PJ or if you work somewhere around the PJ area you must have heard of this place called SS2 Murni.

I first heard about SS2 Murni when I was still staying in Ampang, from a friends who stayed in Putrajaya and work somewhere in K.L. city. Hardly a PJ people, yet they know of this eating place at SS2 called Murni.

It is very difficult to describe what Murni is. At first glance you can call it a mamak, but their menu offers more then what you find in a typical mamak place.

It is a mamak that has almost everything you could think of. They also have special menu that you might not find anywhere else. Just ask the waiter, he or she will then recite the legendary ‘Murni menu chant’.

One of it’s special is a unique dish called Roti Hawaii. It looks like a Murtabak with mayonnaise drawn to look like a spider web.

Malaysian love its food. Eating is a part of the Malaysian culture. Whenever Malaysian meet, they will ask, “Dah makan belum?”, “Have you eaten yet”.

Whenever there is a festive season, be it the Malay festival Hari Raya, or Chinese Lunar New Year, or Indian Deepavali celebration, aspect a large feast.

Due to Malaysia’s multi-ethnic race, you can experience all type of different food. Cross-cultural influence over the years has resulted in a fusion of food as Malaysian of different race adapted to each other dishes.

For instance, Malaysians of Chinese descent have adapted the Indian curry, and made it less spicy to suit their taste. Chinese noodles on the other hand have been crossed with Indian and Malay tastes and thus Malay fried noodles and Indian fried noodles were born.

A culinary diversity of both local and foreign food. I think our love of food is what all of us different race have in common.

You can find Malay cuisine, Chinese food, Indian food, Baba Nyonya food, Eurasian, Western, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Mexican, and almost every type of food available.

There are also different type of eating place from fancy restaurant establishment to street hawkers stalls.

Don’t be afraid to try them all.
