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.

If u're in Puchong, try Al Shafa at Tasik Prima commerial area. The tosei is crispy and garing and the coconut chutney (orange/redish one) is out of this world..the best I hv tried

if you're in puchong, go eat at 8road. very healthy as they serve top notch dishes there.

Thanks, stimix! Appreciated it Yah, it's not too far from my office.
R you also working in Puchong?

we all stay and work in puchong. its the only place worth living and eating in malaysia.

diz haz improved my IQ by 1 today..tq2

wut u called the orange one? chutney too?

Never realized chapati is healthier than tosai ! Gonna give that a try the next time I visit Kayu.

both also got advantage. chapati no oil. tosai is some sourish expired toasted yoghurt thing which i dun like.

Don't think we can order any healtier foods in makan lo. If the meal is considered the most healhtiest in mamak, it should be half-boiled egg >.<

not bananas served at mamak meh ? bananas healthier than half boiled eggs

if wanna compare chapati with tosai...
i take chapati..
cause usage of oil is lesser or none in chapati...
but both is good...

one more..
tandoori chicken..
nyam2..
always went to ampang to have the tandoori chicken..
in puchong or nearby dont have nice tandoori chicken ka?

Can also order healthier susu masam or yoghurt too.

susu kambing tamau gula > yoghurt

cutiepooh, sometimes no choice, just ended up having lunch/dinner at mamak. so got to order something lor, not healthy, but still the best of what you can get from there.


puchong20, yes yes, i like tandoori chicken too, although i think its not that healthy, but aiyah, once in a blue moon.

susu kambing, a bit difficult to drink ah. the taste is like .. strong

Roti salad, no roti!

Naan more healthier options, less oil
