Roti jala, capati and chicken curry!

It was another day at the library with Nurul, Lisa, Lin, Ashe and me. We had been studying the whole afternoon and we were getting tired. As ussual, after library, around 6 p.m., we always head out to kedai "50 sen" near Jusco.

The food is undeniably nice and cheap. But, most of us(me, Lin and Ashe) were getting sick of it. Everyday the same old bee hoon soup.

Out of the blue, Ashe had an idea to take us to Tehel, on the way to Jasin via Bukit Katil(pass JPJ). It was a long drive. The roads were single carriage lanes and windy. The road goes through the Guthrie estate(palm oil plantation).

In 20 minutes, we were at our destination. It is located at the bend of the road. U know those selekoh merbahaya kind of roads. I drove slowly into the vacant land beside the gerai.

Interestingly, the owner, looks like from Middle East. She and her children that is look from the east. Her hubby could be a Malay bloke.

At the table was 4 periuks of curry with roti jala by the side. Behind that was a pan where the lady was busy making capati.

We started ordering. Actually, Ashe did the ordering for us, cause we bit jakun in this unfamilliar place. Hehe! Ashe and Adrian have been going there for a while so the people kinda know them.

The food arives. Looks simple but when u bite into it and dip it with the kuah, it's just gorgeous. Yummy! The roti jala and the capati was superb! Can say as good as how the Indians make it. I and Nurul got a drumstick each so were quite contented... heheh!

The price was not so bad, being a person who is very cautious of prices. I wonder who? Hehe! I think me and Nurul's meal only came out to RM7 including the teh 'o' ais.

It was really great and certainly thankful to Ashe for showing us a new spot to eat. Yes, it may seem a lil out of the way, but it was fun! First time being to that part of Malacca honestly.

On the way back, everyone was quiet in my car. All were contented with the meal and stuffed! I did not say much so Nurul kept on bugging me and telling me how bloated my tummy was. Hehe! Hey, I enjoyed the food what can I say.

So if anyone of you interested in something different than the normal routine meals at Bukit Beruang or somewhere near to it, just contact us. If we are free and have enough petrol, we'll take u there.

Cheers! Happy studying and good luck for finals! Remember u dun have to be an Einstein, it's the effort that counts! =)
