Pak Putra’s Tandoori Chicken
When you are craving for a meal of delicious and finger licking good Tandoori Chicken and Naan, head down to Taman Kota Laksama’s Pak Putra Restaurant.
Tandoori chicken, a Punjabi delicacy that is made famous by the Mamaks and Indians. The chicken is marinated with herbs, spices, curry powder, turmeric powder, garlic, ginger, red chilies and a whole lot more of not-so-secret secret ingredients. The chili powder gives the chicken a super bright red colour. On the other hand, naan is more like the instant version of white bread and tastes a bit like pizza’s crust. Both items are baked in an oven, also known as tandoor.
When you are at Pak Putra Restaurant, do try out their naans especially their double cheese naan and garlic naan, not to leave out their tandoori chicken. They have other northen India’s cuisine, but I never try out because the price is a little steep for me.
Their tandoori chicken is grilled to perfection, not over cooked or too dry. The tenderness of the chicken is maintained thoroughly and its juicy as well. They are not stingy with their ingredients, hence, the flavours are strong and the taste will linger inside your mouth after you finish your meal. However, it is very spicy, as in very spicy. If you can’t take chilies, don’t bother ordering unless you want to suffer throughout your meal. It is served with a plate of special home made sauce, which the ingridients are cili padis, mint, lime and etc. It goes well with the chicken.
This mamak stall was once featured in The Star, which was written by my colleague.
However, do take note that this mamak shop closes around 2AM. Hence, be early if you want to try the tandoori chicken.
P/S :
I have create a sub category “Eating… In Malacca“, since there was a request for me to compile all Malacca’s delicacies into 1 post. By doing so, it would be easier for you to go through the food that are available in Malacca and you might even can make a check list out of it.
However, I realized that there are a lot more food which I have yet to blog and discover. Ironically, I haven’t even blog about the most famous Malacca’s chicken rice ball.

Oh oh my my finally u blog about this place! Ha it’s the ‘usual old place’ for me, debbie and steven and some other teh tarik kaki u know. ;-) Even that day when u were covering assignment at little india, we were there when u sms me… hehee. U must try their indian cuisine, very nice! Chicken hyendrabadi is deb’s favourite. I like the spinach in cheese, and also another chicken dish with cashew nuts inside (forgot d name la…). Their roti also nice, i like their roti bawang and roti double telur. And also their fried items… But ofcoz, their tandoori chicken is the best in melaka. The mint sauce is really superb! Eat till running nose hahaa. One day, one day i meet you there ah… ;-)

Ellone : *cross fingers*
Tekko : Hopefully…
Chioeves : And it got nothing to do with you. :)
Boss Stewie : Why can’t mamak be featured in a newspaper?
Chioeves : Yes, since it has got nothing to do with you, you can just keep your mouth shut and leave my blog in peace.
Allison : Their Indian cuisine not cheap leh, that’s why I dare not try so far. Perhaps next time we go together so that we can share the cost. Haha! :D Yeah, their roti also very sedap.

Oh man, really regretted coming across your blog. Why? Made me miss Malaysian food so much. Pictures really fed my imagination as to how good the food would taste. Thanks for the “memories” anyway. :)

Allison : Deal!
Estudy : Aiyer… Then you like beef / mutton / pork/ fish?
FireHorse : Haha, the pain of staying far away from Malaysia. Welcome and I am glad that it “refreshes” your memories and tastebuds.
