This is the second time I've stopped by the ground floor take-away branch of this vegetarian curry house in Ching King Mansions. I've been to the 5th floor restaurant quite a few times but failed to review it so far...I guess that means I'll have to go back soon. It took me about two years to work up the courage to go into Chung King Mansions. I'm normally a solo diner and facing the barrage of hawkers and general loiterers alone when I'm hungry is really stressful but I'm glad I've overcome the
The food (and service) offered at the ground floor branch is a bit more 'cheap and cheerful' than the upstairs restaurant, large vats of pre-cooked basic vegetarian curries, (dahl, sag aloo, paneer muttor), are displayed alongside samosas, bhajis and sweet snacks in the cabinet outside the shop. For a big meal you can choose two types of curry with rice/roti and you get a very reasonable portion for $50. Once you've made your selection, one of the waiters will chuck it in the microwave for a couple of minutes to warm it up. The guy today forgot my food for about a minute and was really apologetic when he realised. Today I ordered dahl makhani and sag aloo with rice. Dahl makhani is a lovely, comforting and creamy dish made of black lentils and maybe beans depending on the recipe. Here it was filling and wholesome tasting and I loved the texture of the individual lentils/beans, it felt very satisfying to eat (both in my mouth and my belly). The sag aloo (potatoes and spinach), is almost impossible to do badly, here the curry had a really great tangy flavour, the whole meal I felt like it reminded me of something but I couldn't remember what. The rice I had with it was nothing special but served well to soak up the curries and fill me.
