The 38 Best Kuala Lumpur Restaurants | Eater
"Three friends opened the original Pelita shop to serve Indian-Malay cuisine in Penang, but the business has grown over the years into a famed chain with an impressive 25 locations. Grab a plate and choose from a buffet of crunchy vegetables, curries (chicken, crab, prawn), ayam kandar (fried chicken marinated in curry seasoning), and sotong goreng tempura (squid generously dipped in batter, fried to a golden brown, and served with a slice of lime). The counter-service spot can get pretty crowded during peak hours, but the queue moves fairly quickly and the place is open 24 hours a day, so you can always stop by when the traffic’s a bit lighter.
