00:01Virindu at KL Town is fast becoming a go-to spot with 25 vendors under one roof in what is
00:08touted to be Malaysia's largest Indian food court.
00:14This space offers everything from grilled seafood and panmi to dosa and coconut shell rice, reflecting Malaysia's diverse flavors.
00:23When we were looking for a vendor, our main intention was to have an Indian entrepreneur to join with us,
00:30but we didn't limit ourselves with Indian food, so we encourage those who are exploring different kinds of food.
00:39The idea was born during a family brainstorming session when what began as a plan to open a restaurant evolved
00:46into something bigger.
00:48There was an idea popped up from our family members, which is my sister.
00:52Why don't we open up a food court? I mean, we have a Chinese food court, and there is a
00:57Malay food court. There is no Indian food court.
00:59That was an awesome idea. Start going around, approaching all the street, people who do all the street foods.
01:06For many vendors, that opportunity changed everything, including Karan Jayraman, a former chef who lost his job during the pandemic.
01:14The business idea came from my mom. My mom, almost 10 years old, sells one day curry pub in a
01:20canopy.
01:21So from there, I buy a food truck. So I sell burgers. When I do street food, it's not easy
01:29to get license.
01:36But the owners come and request me. They are planning to open an Indian food court. So I get an
01:44idea. Why not? Why not?
01:48A surprising standout here is the spicy panmi, packed with fiery, bold flavors.
01:54The grilled fish and coconut shell rice were pretty impressive too. Tender meat, tangy sambal and rich nostalgic flavors.
02:02Ultimately, come hungry and discover how every meal here supports the people behind the food.
