Thosai at Jalan Besar
I stumbled upon this run down coffeeshop along Jalan Besar while looking for electrical wiring. At the front of this shop was an Indian man, wearing sunglasses, making Thosai and Apom. I stepped inside this poorly lighted shop and saw about 7 customers all eating Thosai with their hands. I ordered one egg Thosai and one Apom. The Thosai was served on a piece of brown wrapping paper. No cutlery are available, not even a fork or spoon. You are expected to eat with your hands and thereafter roll up the wrapping paper and throw it away. This is a one-man show. I have no complains because the Thosai was good. A tray with 4 different types of curries was passed from one customer to another and so was a tin of chilli powder. I noticed most customers placed an order for one more Thosai when they are about to finish eating the existing one. The Apom was equally good when eaten with brown sugar. This shop has no english name. It is located along Jalan Besar, opposite Veerasamy Road. It is open from 7am to 11.30 am. If you are adventurous with food and do not mind the ambience, go for it.
