In the mood for Woodlands Vegetarian Food

Our dinner at Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant (3 March 2016)


We are in the mood for Woodlands Vegetarian Food, even though we have just been to the restaurant for lunch recently (28 March 2016, just a week before). On our last visit, we were there for lunch. Yesterday, we went there again for dinner.

We have been to Woodlands many, many times for dinner. But yesterday's meal was the most expensive for us so far, as we ordered the most number of items (five), when usually we order at most four, and usually just three. Both my wife and I were feeling hungry that evening, and as you know, there's no better appetizer than hunger.

For our meal yesterday evening, we ordered the Channa Bhatura (RM5.00; my wife's favorite item, it's always on our list at Woodlands), the Paneer Butter Masala (RM8.50), the Baigen Bartha (RM6.00), the Masala Kulcha (RM4.20), and the Butter Masala Dosai (RM4.50). Every item was nice and I enjoyed them all very much.

The reason we went to Woodlands was because, the night before, I had an inkling to eat their Baigen Bartha, which is brinjal cooked with onion and tomato gravy, after seeing something of that sort in a cookbook. My wife, on the other hand, wanted to eat their Paneer Butter Masala. The paneer is a type of Indian cheese. In Panner Butter Masala, it is cooked with butter gravy.

The Masala Kulcha is a type of flatbread with filling inside. It is taken with the various dishes which we use as either dips or toppings. The Butter Masala Dosai is a large dosai (second in size only to the paper dosai) with a filling of mashed potatoes).

The meal was washed down with two glasses of lassi, at RM5.50 each. So the total last night came to RM41.55, inclusive of RM2.35 for GST.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
