Kamala Restaurant, Buffalo Road

Kamala Restaurant, Buffalo Road

Kamala Restaurant (662 Buffalo Road, #01-16, tel : +65 6299 1144) used to be known as Sri Kamala Vilas. They rebranded years ago and I never realized that until the past couple of years. It's been that long since we last ate here. I'm venturing a guess that the shop had changed hands to its current owner which had decided to rebrand from Sri Kamala Vilas - a name which has been in this location for easily three decades. Just speculating.

Kamala Restaurant, rava thosai with ghee and egg

Anywaysss, that's their rava thosai with ghee and egg. Latter's folded in the thosai. There's also curry leaves, peppercorn, bits of onion and shreds of carrot. The last of which was not something I expected to find. This was pretty peppery. Reminded me some of the pepper thosai from Al Mubin. Here I was just expecting literally just rava thosai with ghee and egg.

Kamala Restaurant, garlic butter thosai

Tried their new garlic butter thosai because it sounded like it might be good. We were thinking just chopped garlic and butter toasted in the pastry. I mean...garlic and butter, what could go wrong?

Kamala Restaurant, garlic butter thosai

Couldn't taste any butter. There appeared to some sort of garlicky sweet sambal in the thosai so it was also sweet and spicy on top of being garlicky. Did not expect this at all. Wouldn't say that I disliked it but wouldn't get it again because the sweetness had derailed an expectation looking forward to just garlic and butter.

Kamala Restaurant, masala tea

Masala tea's milky, not creamy. A little more sweet than I prefer and the masala's a little thin. Note to self : Gotta siew dai it the next time.
