Yes, it's Southern Indian cuisine. It's rich like crazy, and tasty as hell.
Getting there can be a breeze if you know Jalan Ipoh, on the way to the Sentul police station, almost across the road from Dynasty Hotel where the famous Bak Kut Teh restaurant is.
The address: Lot 239, Section 8, Batu 2, Jalan Ipoh, KL. 03-4044 0563/4.
When you're here, you'd have to work your way along the food line – first the rice, yogurt salad, then move on to the curries, the vegetables, the fried this and thats, and then some more...
The Curry Lamb Shank, good for its tender meat and tasty marrow, is a must. Share a plate if necessary...
The appetising Curry Fish Head is also a must-have. Now, if you're still not sharing your food, you must be darn hungry.
And there's plenty to go around, the Curry Fish Head, as you can clearly see from the size of their woks. The lady says she cooks 3 to 4 wok-ful a day, depending on the number of walk-in customers.
Last but not least, the refreshing Mooru. It's like you must drink Chinese tea when you're eating Bak Kut Teh, you need this cooling yogurt drink that's loaded with slices of onion and chili, plus fresh spices and what nots; or face massive heartburn.

They call this place all sorts of names, like Bawah Pokok, which means 'Under A Tree'. But this can be rather confusing because it's a very generic description of countless outdoor restaurants or eating stalls across Malaysia.
The combination of Fish Curry, Chicken Curry, Fried Chicken, Mutton Massala, Batter-fried Cauliflower, Yogurt Vegetable Salad and Thairu (appetising fresh yogurt) served on steamed white rice was my choice of the day.
