Dharoos Restaurant @ Damansara Utama (Uptown), Petaling Jaya

Dharoos is located at Uptown where tons of workforce scarty around. So business here is usually very good. As mentioned in the earlier blog, the mamak shop has been etched permanently into Malaysian culture, much in part because of its ubiquitous nature. The mamak is very much a melting pot of cultures, a symbol of multiracial harmony.

The drink to order is of course the teh-tarik (Pull Tea). It is made of this sinfully sweet condensed milk and only-mamak-knows-what brand of tea because you can’t ever get the same fragrance elsewhere. The concoction is put into a mug and the mamak will ‘pull’ the tea in another mug.

Hot foods like Nasi Lemak, rice, roti canai, tandoori and here, they do serve Western foods and available 24/7, 365 days a year. Their Nasi Lemak is quite ok but sadly to note that it is icy cold. Luckily the fried chicken is hot (freshly made).

If you go to any mamak stall, you have to leave all the health advices at home or else you won’t be able to enjoy your trip. Take for example this piece of innocently look roti planta. They prepare this from a piece of wheat flour dough and the dough is stretch to a big piece. Then, they add in a huge blob of planta to make this deliciously good.
