What is special about Babington Avenue? It is special because more than 1,000 people viewed its location in Google maps. Dr Abdul Ghani's former house was at Babington Avenue. His house was sold to The Temple of Fine Arts. It is now the Annalakshmi Culinary Arts Centre which provides Indian vegetarian meals FOC. There are no bills to pay and diners donate as much as they wish. It only accepts donations. The menu consists of rice, capati, vegetarian dishes, vegetarian curry, mango lassi, teh tarik, and pulut hitam. These are cooked daily by volunteers.
