Located in a corner lot in the bustling streets of Puchong, is Meenachi Mess. This humble eatery is a lunch-stop haven where South Indian culinary traditions thrive, while maintaining affordability for the regular lunch crowd.
Lunch under RM5? Say no more.
With intense flavours dancing on banana leaves, Meenachi Mess serves vegetarian meals at an unbelievable price of only RM4.90!
Don’t we all love that moment when a pristine banana leaf is placed in front of us, a blank canvas just begging to be filled. As we wait in hungry anticipation, within seconds, there is a symphony of textures, colours, and flavours on the leaf. Finally, time to dig in!
At Meenachi Mess, for less than 5 ringgit, you can get up to three freshly cooked vegetables, salted dried chilli and papadam, rasam, a mountain of rice, and a generous pour of thick and veggie packed dhal! Isn’t that amazing?
That’s not all—the best part is that all these components have an unlimited refill. This place is definitely a vegetarian’s dream!
Why do people keep coming back for more?
While you may think that the insane affordability is what keeps this place busy and running, you would be mistaken.
The true allure of this popular lunch spot lies in its commitment to quality and taste. Returning customers appreciate that the food here is cooked without MSG, artificial additives, and unnecessary preservatives.
This provides them with a satisfying, healthy meal that does not leave them feeling thirsty for hours after. Here, each dish is a labour of love, cooked with care and skill.
I’m not a vegetarian (inserts crying emoji)
Now, before you get the impression that Meenachi Mess only serves vegetarian food, let us indulge you with what else they have to offer. If you are someone who is not a fan of vegetables, don’t worry!
This Mess boasts an array of other home-cooked delights and classics such as mutton varuval, chicken curry, chicken sambal, fried chicken, and so much more! They also have seafood dishes like their thick crab curry, fish sambal, and prawn varuval.
To your meal, you can add your favourite non-vegetarian dishes for a few extra Ringgit. They also have local favourite drinks like their Masala Chai (RM2) and Teh O Ais Limau (RM1.50).
What’s good?
Customers particularly enjoy their rich dhal, which is cooked with a variety of spices and vegetables, as well as their mutton varuval, which is not too spicy with tender and flavourful meat.
Be warned, this eatery is small and fills up quickly, so if you want to get a table, we recommend going for an early lunch.
For the price, portions, and quality, it’s no wonder Meenachi Mess is gaining popularity. Every meal that you have at this eatery, is a celebration of South Indian culture and flavours.
