2020 has been the year that was not. For past so many months, life is like being stuck into a small compartment and not being able to break free, run around, and experience life. It’s about a year of compromises, hoping that our sacrifice of staying put, will help stem and slow the Covid-19 pandemic.
So when @AdrianLunsong and @Velvel proposed a Community Food Fight Challenge of highlighting our favorite food places this year, I was lost in thought, I haven’t been eating out much at all.
Still, if I had to pick a place, the place that came to my mind is my favorite authentic Kerala food restaurant in Malaysia.
M Grill (https://goo.gl/maps/WvnEwy6Yop8sFuDZ9 ) which is located in the Bukit Bintang district in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Their cooks and chefs are from places of origin in Kerala, so the food is authentic with original flavors.
Eating here brings me connectedness to the community there, we are a very small tightly knitted community, no matter where in the world we are.
[Photo above] This was my food parcel for Eid one of the main celebrations in Malaysia. An authentic original Kerala Thalassery Malabar Chicken Biryani. The special uniqueness of this biryani rice is that is must use the very limited and special Jeerakasala short grain rice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayanad_Gandhakasala_rice ) which is grown in the Wayanad district of Kerala. Almost all other biryani rice will usually use Basmathi long grain rice. The rice grains are extremely fragrant, and stay in shape after cooking. Flavored with spices directly from Kerala the local cardamoms, cloves, bay leaves, cinammon, and many others. Cooked expertly with tender marinated chicken pieces and served with mango pickles (achar) and papadam (lentil crackers). It’s a experience to eat.

Check out my review of M Grill (https://goo.gl/maps/R1hzKQkuayGue8VYA )
Friends living around Klang Valley in Malaysia, most recommended to visit this place. They also have bbq grill as well as a buffet spread before the Covid pandemic (please do call ahead to enquire what is available on the day).

I saved the place in my maps now and I roughly know where it is in the BB area! 
Thanks for this share!
