The paratha ($18), a beautifully single, hella-fluffed and towering round, sits on top of creamy dal where the sambal oil adds some nice heat. The abacus seeds ($24), where soft, earthy gnocchi made with taro are paired with smoky and chewy mushrooms, and amped up with chile and shaoxing wine. The rendang ($34) comes with pulled stewy spicy smoky oxtail (Kelang's Caribbean influence), rounded out with a delightful rice mixture of djon djon (a Haitian black mushroom rice) and nasi ulam (Malaysian herbed rice).
Another body has been pulled from Newtown Creek, a branch of the East River that runs in between Queens and Brooklyn. This is at least the fourth body found in the industrial area over the past few summers. The previous three victims had visited nearby nightclubs before their deaths. Police have not released many details about the latest case, but say the body of a 30-year-old man was found shortly after 12:15 p.m. Thursday in the area between North Henry Street and Kingsland Avenue.
