Muthu Restaurant Chettinad Mess/ 印度传统香料叶饭

Sandwiched between a row of pre-war heritage shophouses along the Acheen Street, not many except locals and regular customers know about it, Muthu Restaurant Chettinad Mess, serving one the of best traditional Indian Banana Leaf Rice in town. Striking golden-yellow facade, pink door and window frames with no signboard at all, yet patrons from all walks of life are constantly walking in and out of this local Indian eatery shop. Walk into the shop, grab a free seat, one of the waiters will come over to lay a large piece of banana leaf (as your plate) on your table, ladlding two types of curry vegetables, a chutney, a piece of papadam and a heapful of steamed white rice onto your banana leaf. Next, three different types of curry gravies (chicken, crab and dhal) in big canisters will be placed right in front of you to choose from. The crab gravy is the most popular and mostly recommended. Soon after you’ve ladled your choice onto your banana leaf, the waiter will come and take them away to serve another table. And finally the waiter will bring to you variety of today's special side dishes such as crab masala (signature dish), curry fish, fried fish, curry mutton curry, spices chicken, egg omelette, and various crispyly fried vegetables. Choose any side dish to your liking. As for drinks, only plain bottled drinking water and iced yoghurt drink are served here. After such delightful meal, take a walk in the Armenian Park, or better still strolling till the other end of Armenian Street to discover Penang iconic mural of "Kids on bicycle" by Ernest Zacharevic. 🚶🚲
