This week, I tried out a restaurant and a spa at Siglap. These are not newly set up establishments, but little miss laggard took forever to check them out.
A bunch of my friends made plans to meet on Tuesday night downtown for dinner, unfortunately it was a no-go by early evening. Well, Dilly & I still need sustenance anyway, so we decided to go Indian at Siglap.
I specifically would like to try out Chutney Mary at East Coast road. I had heard pretty good reviews of the restaurant from my Irish ex-colleague who married a local Indian lady and stays in the east. I’m 70% sure it’s north Indian cuisine.
Our favorite dish of the night was a “Papri Chaat”- a traditional appetizer of crisp flour cakes drowned in yoghurt, tamarind chutney, mint sauce, spices, sprinkled with cheese wriggles and tomato dices. Dilly described it as something that burst with a mixture of rich flavors in the mouth, and it’s the truth! I read up on the Internet that it’s a dish sold at roadside stalls in India. Roadside food’s the best!
We also ordered a mild curry of mushrooms and peas to share. For our mains, Dilly had fish and I had Nasi Briyani. The rice was expertly prepared - light and fluffy, it came in a pot and there was enough for two.
Urm, sorry, forgot to take pictures of food.
