KAPITAN Briyani - Queensbay Mall and Jusco Perda

Assalaam aleykom WBT :) Me and the wife (and the kid had to folo, even tho dia tak la minat sangat :P) went on a two day briyani fiesta. Well, ok... I went on a 2-day briyani fiesta... whereas she only had briyani for one day... The briyani I am talking about here is the Kapitan Restaurant briyani :) I don't know why, but it seems like Kapitan's briyani is a lot tastier compared to other mamak shop's briyanis. They not only have more color, but also more flavor and also better side dishes... But then again, I've only like eaten at 3-4 mamak restaurants in Penang... So I guess my evaluation might be a bit misinformed here... hehehe.

Anywayz... I took pictures of two dishes. The normal briyani set (with a slight alteration in chicken choice... took tandoori chicken instead of the normal grilled chicken)... and the Claypot Briyani set. Let's start with the claypot set. Actually, this is supposed to be the 'special' brand of briyani served at Kapitan (so I was told). Before the set came, I was given an empty plate and also a small bowl of gravy (I think it was chick peas gravy or something...). Being an outsider to the art of briyani-dining... I just thought it was for my daughter, cuz I did mention not ordering for my daughter, sebab takut banyak sangat. LOL! So, when the set actually did come... I sort'a ate directly out of the claypot... which to my astonishment was not even made of of clay! Maybe orang ni salah hantar kot? Anywayz... This is how it looked like:




After I belasah-ed the whole steel-pot... then I saw an Indian guy from the next table 'showing' me the proper way to eat. You gotta actually take the rice and put it onto the empty plate provided... Oooooo.... and then eat it! Hahahaha! Walaaweh... how to know? Didn't come with a manual what... Anwyayz... Full jugak at the end of the meal.

My wife's pulak... was the normal briyani set, with Tandoori chicken :) I have to say, the chicken was quite a 'plate-full'. Very2 the big one!!! Ok. The 'normal' set looks like this:



Hmmm... of course my wife didn't finish the whole thing. Banyak siot! Alfian to the rescue as always :) Tu pasal balik tu boncit je perot. Hahahaha! Anywayz... This one was also sedap one. As a matter of fact, I think this one is better 'equipped' as a briyani set as compared to my 'special' claypot (steel-pan) briyani. I mean, just look at it. It has some onions, chick-peas gravy, yogurt sauce, and the red + green thing is chili sauce with mint sauce. A bonus of condiments and side dishes! Why was my special briyani lacking in all of this!... And from what I tasted... the two rices (ada ke rices?) tasted almost the same... Hmmmmm.... But of course, even though tasting similar, both were very2 good :)

Anywayz... despite the rather disappointing nature of the 'special' claypot briyani... we had a fulfilling... and not to mention filling time at Kapitan's. These pictures were taken from the restaurant near Queensbay Mall, Penang Island. The next night, I had a sudden craving for the briyani again, and went to buy it at Kapitan Restaurant Bandar Perda, near to Jusco Perda Penang (main land).

The price? I think it was around RM7.00... or was it RM7.50? Quite ok for so much rice and a big piece of a bird :D In all, I think I would recommend Kapitan's to anyone visiting Penang. U can eat until lick fingers and also plate. Okes. Sakian.

Assalaam aleykom WBT... and 'ave a good eatin out experience...
