Indian Curry House @ Upper East Coast Road


DSC_5751





Indian Curry House has been around for even longer than Zaffron Kitchen if memory serves me right and I guess curiosity killed the cat enough for me to finally pay it a visit.

These tasted like papadum crackers.

Fish Cake ($10.90)
Mashed chunks of fish, chilli mayonnaise






A far cry from the published, these flattened and more than golden brown fish cakes were slightly burnt and were more of potato than fish cakes.

Mulligtawny Shorba ($7)
South Indian Lentil Soup










Imagine an MSG laden mee soto soup? This was it and nowhere near the curried version I love.

Sheekh Kebab ($17.90)
Minced Lamb


Smoky sticks of minced lamb peppered with enough herbs.

Chicken Tikka Masala ($17.90)
Onion Gravy


Mostly sweet and missing out on some heat, while it looked the part, I thought it fell short of expectations.

Aloo Gobi ($12.90) is one of the vegetable dishes I must order everytime I eat Indian food. The aromatic gravy and potatoes especially is what I get so sold on.

Garlic Naan ($4)
Cheese Naan ($4)




Between the two, cheese naan fared better with a copious amount of cheese. I suppose anything with cheese tastes great.








Service was far from great - just because we were using the Eatigo app meant I had to be subjected to higher priced food containers. Read $2 per container per dish. Anyway, not that it marred the experience completely but food was good enough for that one visit.

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Garlic like tumeric is one o

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
