Caption: Malaysian has many kinds of delicious food and one of them is Mamak cuisine. Mamak is a callname for the food in Malaysia which means mother. So, Mamak is the mother-made food or homey food. Most of the Mamak cuisine are Malay food, but there are also some Mamak foods with Indian influence. When in Kuala Lumpur, I have an opportunity to try the Mamak cuisine at a restaurant called Restoran Al-Barkath which located in the neighbourhood area of Bukit Jalil in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Caption: The food that served here is Mamak cuisine which have some Indian influence which can be identified from its taste. The food here have some strong taste from its spices which mostly are Indian spices. The famous food that served here is nasi kandar which same with nasi padang in Indonesia, but it's has some Indian curry as the main ingredient. Unfortunetly, I'm not tried their nasi kandar when I was there :(.

Caption: Roti Telur - RM2.20 Roti Telur means egg bread and this roti telur is made from the roti paratha which filled with egg. The taste is nice and I like the texture of the egg, it's soft and it's perfectly combined with the crisp of the bread. Roti telur at here is also accompanied with curry and dhal. The curry tasted spicy with a lot of Indian spices and the dhal tasted lighter than the curry and there are some lentil beans inside it.

Caption: Maggi Goreng - RM5.00 First I thought if this dish was mee goreng mamak or mamak fried noodles, but I was wrong because it's maggi goreng. Maggi goreng is almost same with mee goreng, the difference is the noodles that used for this dish. From the texture of the noodles, I think maggi goreng is use the Indomie as the ingredient. The taste of the maggi goreng also lighter than the mee goreng.

Caption: Mee Goreng Mamak - RM8.00 This is the most well-known menu in Malaysian Mamak cuisine. This dish is different with the maggi goreng before. Mee goreng mamak use the egg noodles for the main ingredient and it mixed with some Indian spices like chilli and other spices also some soy sauce. For the topping, there are some beancurd, fish cake and vegetable for the toppings. The taste? It's a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet. Perfection!
