#TummyTales: Acha Curry House
8-year-old me would never eat anything curry. And look at me now - shoving the banana leaf agenda to my parents and judging people who says banana leaf is overrated.
We all have our own banana leaf heroes and I think this might be one if you’re looking for something with a neighborly, homey vibe.
This place is not like every other banana leaf restaurants where they serve sotong (fried squid) so I had fried chicken just to be safe.
They do have crab curry though and that was pretty frekkin good. It’s also DIY so pour it all if you want - just don’t waste it! You can also choose from white rice or Indian rice. Unfortunately I did not opt for Indian rice, but if I ever come back that’s what I’m going for!
It’s a little loud, humid and if you’re not into communal dining at lunch time, this isn’t the place for you. But when I was there with my fav pair of twins the vibe was good all around, and our neighbors were the friendliest.
They even helped us to take a picture, which looked a little like this:
Would I come back?
Yes, especially since I am now curry deprived and papadam is life. Prices are also not as overrated as those in Bangsar.
