Brendan will be spending the weekend in Singapore courtesy of his Aunt Vivien and Uncle David (muchas gracias!). He’ll
be leaving later today and so before dropping him off at my sister's we stopped over at Pelita
for lunch.

| a neighbourhood landmark |

| the quintessential Mamak |
Despite being
situated in a very upscale and affluent suburban neighbourhood, all kudos to Pelita
for remaining the quintessential Mamak shop. And in spite of being an archetypal
Mamak shop it attracts a wide variety of patrons from all walks of life and
nationality. We found it fascinating that a Korean AND an Englishman were both having lunch during the time we were here.

 |
| deep fried meats |
As always
we head to the rice stall where we were greeted by a wondrous array of curries
and spices. Despite it being a Friday we restrained ourselves from the Bryani
Rice (which can be known to induce acute bouts of drowsiness) and we all had
white rice with various dishes. Brendan went for his perennial favourite, the
Chicken Curry; Cat opted for Mackerel Curry while I had the Fried Mackerel.

The verdict? Our family has and will always adore curry (though in moderate doses), and this particular chain of Pelita restaurants does not
disappoint. The damage? Together with a round of Coca Cola for Cat and
Brendan and an Iced Coffee for moi it all came to a very economical total of
RM23.50, and Pelita definitely is a place where the everyday person looks for
his everyday food.
