The vegetarian restaurant offers a single shop lot but 2 floors, it is brightly lighted and looks really clean, definitely like the ambiance, and very comfortable place to dine-in. For the breakfast session, you will find 經濟米粉 economy noodles are available plus all your many (24 choices) of our favorite 印度煎餅 Indian Roti, 印度多屑 Thosai, 椰漿飯 Nasi Lemak or 印度小吃 Indian Snacks; all from rm$1 to rm$6. More so felt at ease, with the extremely friendly owner who greets almost every walk-in customers!
Today's breakfast is a rm$4.50 "印度鬆餅 Plain Uthappam". Uttapam or Uthappam are South Indian Breakfast 類似西式煎餅 pancakes-like dish made with 扁豆 lentils,米 rice, 洋蔥 onions, 香草 herbs & 香料 spices. These are a very common breakfast in 南印度民居 south Indian homes and are mostly eaten with a 酸辣醬 chutney, 印度扁豆咖哩 Dhal or maybe even 叁巴醬 sambal. I think the Uttapam is like maybe a cross between Dosai and Appam, but it is considered as a "Dosa" or "Thosai" or "Dosai" variant in Southern India. So, it is not as crispy as the Dosa but is thicker like the Apam; and while the Apam is made using the round bottom-pan (like a 小炒鍋 tiny wok), the Uttapam is cooked in a 平底鍋 flat skillet.
There are really many variants of the Uttapam and mine today is probably the most basic as a "Plain Uttapam". But the variants of Vegetarian Uttapam recipe can even be either fluffy like mine today or even crispy like a pizza (Pizza Uttapam). And many vegetables that adds color and gives a good crunchy bite to the "pancake" can be added, like 甜椒 bell pepper, 胡蘿蔔 carrots, 洋蔥 onions, 曬乾的西紅柿 sun-dried tomatoes, 捲心菜 cabbage, 香菜 Coriander,墨西哥胡椒 Jalapeno, and even 奶酪 cheese, 青豆 green peas, 香蕉 banana, or 豆芽 sprouts.
And yes, the restaurant has a "Clearing station" for customers to clear their plates after a meal to adopt table manners and to discipline ourselves like in our homes! The food waste is Pure Saive's way of practicing 回收 recycling and 廢物預防 waste prevention by making 綠色增長 green changes and becoming more earth friendly.
Conclusion: Enjoyed today's early breakfast in PJ and definitely will be back for more!
