Kota Kinabalu : Anjappar Restaurant
This restaurant is located on the ground floor of Kompleks Asia City, more popularly known as KAC and you can’t miss the tusk like structure that decorated the front entrance.



Besides this, we ordered from their set meal menu. I had the Chettinad Non-Vegetarian meal (RM9) which comes with a bowl of very scrumptious chicken curry, cabbages, ladies finger and many small bowls of gravies, yoghurt and rasam.

Us : We ordered one banana leaf meal (spoken in Malay)
Clueless Waiter : Itulah.. (“That’s the one”)
Us : And we also ordered one non-vegetarian meal (spoken in Malay)
Clueless Waiter : Itulah.. (“That’s the one”)
Us : Huh??
We even showed him the names on the menu and he still maintained that that tray was both the meals - until the manager or someone came over and sorted things out.
Turns out that our clueless waiter - friendly though he was - did not order the banana leaf meal.
When my sister’s banana leaf meal finally arrived, the Indian manager or something told her that she’s supposed to take all the bowls out and pour the contents on the leaf, which she did.
But when told to eat by hand, my sister with her manicured fingernails, declined.







As with most of our neighbours, it is my parents in law’s weekly ritual to go to the Saturday “tamu” (open market) at the Seria market ground. Of course it doesn’t only involve shopping for fresh produce but perhaps, most importantly, it’s an opportunity for these old folks to exchange news with their friends.
