CHAT MASALA

"Don't always trust a punter"

With spittle brimming on his lips peripheries my hotel owner reprimanded me for eating at Saravana Bhavan and shouted "Go to Chat Masala! Best Dosa in KL". I hurried away fearing for my life and turn into the street to make the slow pilgrimage to Chat. Avoiding the majority of the sun's punishment under covered walkways I made it just before the lunch rush and found a solitary table.

The dosa was far from terrible, but it was unfathomably uninspired. It reeked of boredom and definitely not the crown in their restaurants jewel. I ate half of it more out of politeness than anything else, paid my bill and avoided the owners grin when I returned.

He deserved a tight slap.
