My family and I like to eat out a lot but I know it's not the best idea to be ordering nasi lemak or pork rice often.
If I know I shouldn't be eating something oily/fried (hello, 98.964% of Malaysian cuisine) I opt for a bowl of Lui Cha, instead
I sometimes cheat and just have steamed versions of what I usually get, to be honest
>steamed chicken rice lol

What do you guys usually order? I'm curious as there seems to be little choice if you're trying to eat healthily in Kuching.

mee kolok spesial and kueh chap campur FTW! for the luls

I'm usually go for tosai, and only eat with it's coconut condiment..the white2 one.

I assume tosai less oil..at least lesser than roti canai

Tosai..

nasi beriyani, lower GI then white rice

Usually i will go for either chapati/tosai or plain/garlic naan. To add some protein of course Chicken Tandoori

Tandoori Chicken probably makes the most sense. But even this can be a challenge to find.

I'd stick with Capati for Carbs.

Tandoori Naan set. Lean protein with less oil. Quite exp though. RM7-8 per set

chapati or plain naan.

extra sambal increases fat burn

tosai is oily. dont u see the cook pour the oil before he lipat (fold?) the tosai ? In my opinion capati is healthier. naan is white flour, not that healthy

Hi. May I ask, where do you usually take your tosai?
Been looking for nice tosai, but dont know where.

derp, mana ada oil la..

usually most place got their tosai okay..but to me their "white coconut" thingy that makes the different. I dunno wut it's indian name..

ohhh the gravy sauce... where is the place that got the nice white coconut that match perfect for tosai?

dat one I dunno...if you currently living somewhere nearby Kulim perhaps you can go to Dinas..at jalan kelang lama.

they will give you a plate of tosai with 4 type of gravy sauce..fish curry, dhal curry, hot coconut gravy sauce and mild coconut gravy sauce one.

demmit I'm drooling now...

but after all it depends on ur taste lah, hw u like ur tosai being cooked, whether u wan quite soft or crispy

normally thosai they put ghee to give the extra taste. But then if you dont want the oil, ask for Rava Thosai. it is a thin crispy one.
Or the other way you can see the oil is if you ask for Thosai with sugar or planta thosai.

well the white coconut thingy is called Chutney. the white one is plain and the orange ones are the spicy one. that has more kick to it.

Healthy mamak food? it exists?

telor separuh masak 2, milo kosong panas/ ais or ais kosong, capati 1-2, quite filling already for me.

telur setengah masak , susu lembu ,susu kambing ,barli panas ,rojak. =)

Sometimes I order a chapati with a few side dishes of vegetables, plain water.

Moved this to the Food forum, seems more appropriate here than the Health forum.
