Since it is Deepavali, we decided to have something Indian for dinner. What better place to dine other then Taste of India restaurant located at Aman Suria, in Petaling Jaya. Formerly known as Maroon Cafe, Taste of India is the same shop, run by the same people except maybe a different management.

When asked the waiter what’s with the name change, he says that the boss wants to be consistent throughout all the other branches. Looking at the menu I notice it says “Taste of India – London, Kuala Lumpur, Kumba Konam India, Paris”. Wow, this is not your ordinary mamak.

The open air environment (with roof) is good for just chilling out. There is a projector mounted and a wall screen. Great for hanging out with buddies and watch a football game or two. Just like in Mamaks but with fancier food and service.

Over at Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara there is a plethora of Kopitiams. Every conner you turn there is a kopitiam shop.

Not just the kopitiams but it seems that the mamaks there are battling each other in who has the best blings for their outlets.

Today we tried dining at Pak Li Kopitiam. Nice place, clean and nice deco. Looks like an authentic kopitiam. I guess they are really proud to be featured on Jalan-Jalan Cari makan, because there is wall with pictures of Jalan-Jalan Cari makan reviewing the shop.
