Devi's Corner, Bangsar Baru

I always like to tell people what a wonderful country is Malaysia. As you already knwo from reading this blog, the people in Malaysia are multi-racial and multi-cultural. But if you are from oversea, you may not know that Malaysia welcome all people from all over the world. First, we have Visit Malaysia Year 2007 to attract tourist to come to visit Malaysia. Second, we have Malaysia my 2nd home program to attract foreigner to come and live in Malaysia. Third, we also get foreign worker to come nad work in Malaysia.

Of course the first one cause many Middle Eastern restaurants to open near Bintang Walk (because the Middle East visitors like to stay in the many hotels htere), even KLCC has restaurant which serve Middle Eastern buffet. And even Mandarin Oriental hotel (the top hotel in KL) sometimes do a Middle East food promotion at the Biba's Cafe.

But if you see carefully, the 3rd one is the one which has a big affect on Malaysian food because the number of people is quite large, and they stay long in Malaysia. So many different nationals in Malaysia - example, in my office building, the security guard is Nepal, the cleaner is Indonesia and my colleague is Australia. In the petrol station, is the workers from Bangladesh. In the home, our maid is also Indonesia, but my friends got maids from other country like Phillippines, Cambodia. And some people say in the "karaoke bar" in KL, the girls are from China. (Actually a friend say that the karaoke bar should be call a "kuku-ok bar" - some of you maybe don't know that "kuku" is a slang word for the man's thing, so you can guess what is happening in there). So many different countries, and some of them open restaurant - example, I read about the Nepal restaurant in Jalan Silang, the Indonesia nasi padang in Sentul, the Australia meat shop in Plaza Damas, the Korea restaurant in Ampang and many more!

I was thinking all this things when I having my dinner at Devi's Corner. That is because at Devi's Corner, many of the workers are also foreigner. I not sure if they are from India or Bangladesh. I scared to ask because they can think that I maybe from the Immigration Department, and don't know if they will phooi into my food.

For the dinner, I eat like economy rice style, which mean all dishes put onto the same plate with the rice. I have chicken varuvaal, mutton varuvaal, cabbage and rice. You can notice that I love varuvaal (which is a dry curry). It is so delicious and lovely, and I think there is no ajinomoto because I am not thirsty after that. The chicken and mutton very tasty and tender. The cabbage is crispy and the fish curry I pour on the rice is very delicious also.

The service also very good here. There are many workers on standby so that when it is crowded, many of them can work serving customers at the same time. Also, they are very nice and friendly, and they take the trouble to learn Bahasa Malaysia, so they can also take your order in Bahasa. They also open until late so you can go there after going to hte Bangsar pub.
