Malaka Spice - Pune's best south east asian food joint
Friday, September 22, 2006
Address: Vrindavan Apartments, Off. North Main Road, Koregaon Park, Pune.
Phone: 26136293
Web site: http://malakaspice.com
Directions: http://malakaspice.com/location.html
Type of food: Indonasian, Malaysian, Vietnamese, Thai and some chinese. It's a bit spicy (as the name suggests, duh!).
Ambiance: Nice, cafe type ambiance, certainly not quiet. Very clean. Perfect for a group of up to 6 people. They have many small-medium tables.
Price Range: Avg. Rs.250 per person
Food Review: Well, what can I say... this is one place that lived up to all its hype. In one word, awesome!. The best of the evening was "Canh Trung soup" - A fresh tomato soup with sliced chilli lemon grass. The "Panang laksa" fish soup was also good. Sea food seems like their speciality. If you are in the mood for something less spicy, "Grilled fish in banana leaves" is great for you. If you want something even less spicy (and you like mushrooms), the "Three aunties and grandmothers" is for you.
Roti Jhala was a good, interesting dish - a light fluffy pancake.
Roti Canai was a total disappointment - it was just like regular desi roti/naan.
They also have really great mocktails. Try the "Knight in white satin" - coconut cream and pineapple juice with ice cream. Yum yum...:)

Food related blog! There you've got me hooked :). And Malaka Spice is one of the better eating joints in Pune, period. South-east-asian or whatever.

Great blog
Malaka has now gone onet step ahead and tied up with a portal from wherein you can order your meal online and also do table reservations online.
Its called www.tastykhana.com They are promoting their services by putting book marks in the menu.
The site looked good to me with some nice services lined up.
