Rich Maha

Alright everyone, here's a restaurant that should prove to be a pretty nice place. It's called Rich Maha and it serves South Indian dishes prepared the Malaysian-Indian way. In short, it's Malaysian.
As you can see below, the restaurant offers a variety of tastes coming from different places. That should really get your taste buds excited.

Here's a traditional Teh Tarik (milk tea) that the restaurant offers at $2.50, which is a staple in Malaysian food culture.

Here's the Nasi Lemak (coconut rice), which is served with the regular sambal with anchovies, egg and chicken curry. This dish is priced at $9.00.
The restaurant also offers Roti Canai for $8.50 (2 pieces). It's basically hand-made roti served with chicken curry (different to that served with the Nasi Lemak) as well.
