A On Serangoon Road in Singapore , something interesting is happening : fast food with a difference . This street is surrounded by skyscrapers , modern shopping malls , and office buildings . It looks like a South Indian bazaar . It has Indian shops . In the Thosai café , food is served on banana leaves . And it also has an Indian vegetarian fast food restaurant called Komala’s . This restaurant is becoming as popular as McDonald’s . Komala’s looks like an American fast food restaurant . It has plastic chairs and tables that are attached to the floor . There’s also a children’s playground in the restaurant . What makes it differents is its menu , which is all Indian and vegetarian . It offers more choices of food than most fast food restaurants do . The menu is on the wall above the cashiers . The prices are low , and once the orders are taken and paid for , the customer is given a token to present to the food counter . The customer turns in the token and picks up the food . The food is ready in about two minutes. If it’s for takeout , it is wrapped and put in a bag . If the customer eats in the restaurant , they eat from metal plates and cups , on a tray covered with paper . This paper shows pictures of the food that is available at Komala’s . The menu offers more than ten kinds of thosai , steamed buns , and many other types of Indian foods . These come accompanied by curies and chutneys . There are also mini-meals for children , which include lassi , a sweetened yogurt drink , and ice cream . On Sundays , a lot of Indian families come here for a vegetarian dinner after going to the nearby temple . Komala’s is air-conditioned , the seats are good , the service is very fast , and it’s very neat and clean . This isn’t true of other restaurants in the neighborhood . “This is an amazing place,” says Sim Tang , a Chinese office worker who eats at Komala’s after work . “My Indian friends told me about it . I have come here ever since . I enjoy some thosai and tea .” Ko
