Discovering Payasam at Indies

For the first time in my life I tried some payasam.

And although I was a bit wary initially , I completely fell head over heels in love with this unassuming cup of dessert . 

Tiny little balls of sago , vermicelli , is that a hint of ginger on the tip of my tongue ? Definitely contains a fair amount of condensed milk and ghee for it to taste this heavenly. 

Did not order this intentionally.

Had asked for a Banana Leaf Rice with Chicken set and omg.....will you look at how it is served here ? 

Sweet mother of god. Was not expecting this. 

3 vegies , a platter of chicken meat , one huge serving of rice with a papadum on top , a cup of rasam and that fantastic payasam.

Gulp ! What a feast ! 

And you know what ? 

Because we did not see the above coming , we also had a plate of Fried Mee....

...as well  as a Chicken Tandoori Naan set

If you were to eat like this in say ....town , you would get chopped big time. 

Like the time we had to fork out almost MYR 100 for a meal near Little India. Or another time we heard someone else had to cough up almost MYR 500 at another outlet near Indies which has now closed down.

Here ? Pffttt....piece of payasam. You won't get a heart attack when you see the bill , now that's reassuring and what we need .

Besides , I betcha it's so fattening but I loved it so much I went for seconds . Yums ! Worth busting the waistline over.
