I find the tenggiri (among other things) at Kashmir Cafe to be WAY superb. Try it and tell me which is better?

Is this the Moorthy who was the protege of original Mathai's at Peking Hotel ? If it is, then the fried tenggiri alone would be the reason to visit. From your description, it seems to be the Moorthy from Mathai's (which would explain the name too).

Marky, thanks for sharing. Will visit Kashmir and give you a verdict. Jon, will try to ask Moorthy on your question

Something is very fishy here! Isnt the Mathai's stall that was at the New Lay Sin now at the Mayflower Restaurant at 144A Jalan Vivekananda?

Hi Alexa P. Thank you for a wonderful write up and pictures. Glad you and your friends enjoyed the food and the fish. I have noted your comment on the salty cutlet and it will not happen again.
Indeed, I have another stall at Mayflower Seafood Restaurant which was relocated when Peking Hotel was closed down. Stall is open for lunch only and many of my regular customers from Peking Hotel were finding it a little difficult to get seats during busy lunch hours.
Moreover it was very hot and humid..that was why I decided to open a more comfortable place for my customers to enjoy their food...hence Moorthy's Mathai Restaurant. The restaurant is open from 7am to 10 pm everyday. My signature dishes..the fried tenggiri, mutton, red spicy chicken curry, fish head curry, gravy fried potato are daily items which I cook personaly. Also available daily for lunch at the restaurant is my signature vegetarian briyani, mutton briyani, chicken briyani and fish briyani.
Please do come again.
Thanks again
Moorthy

Haha! I think from that angled photo, it kinda does look like bawal. It's tenggiri actually

My wife and I visited Moorthy's a few weeks ago. No kidding but I think I must have eaten about 1kg of rice! Need I say any more about the food?
Moorthy was very hospitable to my wife and I. He seemed genuinely pleased that we were enjoying the food so much. Definitely heading back there again - but I'd strongly recommend elasticated trousers!
