Bread Babu @ Race Course Road

DSC_1310

Indian restaurants are a dime too many at Little India and thanks to Eatigo, the prices stood out for Bread Babu. This hole in wall tiny joint along the stretch of big names is too easy to miss even.

We start off with a complimentary basket of poppadom, spiced crackers that we all enjoyed. Toddler included!

Mutton Kebab ($10)

Too gamey for my liking yet the mutton fans felt this was really good - spiced, minced meat and comes with a delicious mint dip.

Paneer Tikka ($8)

Cottage cheese rubbed with spice and grilled - amazeballs! I never thought cottage cheese could taste this good.

Vegetarian Samosa ($4.50)

Samosas and curry puffs are my snack weakness except these had a too thick pastry with meh-dinary curry potato filling. Can skip!


DSC_1306

Cheese Naan ($4.80), Garlic Butter Naan ($4.50), Paneer Naan ($5)

Now here's a dish you would not want to miss for the world - the freshly made naans are amazing! Fluffy, golden brown and so chewy, all flavours are on point and my favouritest has to be paneer. Somehow cottage cheese works best in this assortment I tried and cheese was just sliced cheese.

Veg Handi ($9)

Green chillies rocks this dish though not in a spicy way, it's a tasty mix of cauliflower, carrots and green chillies.

DSC_1766


Bhindi Bharta ($9)

Just because, okra. Enough is said. I like how there is more than one okra dish so one down and two more to try!




DSC_1768

Chicken Curry ($9.50)

Aromatic curry that goes so well with naan, and the great thing is less is more when it comes to their gravy. Thick, fragrant and just so tasty!


DSC_1304

Mee Goreng Chicken and Egg ($7.50)

We ordered this out of curiosity, especially of a place that does both local and indian food. Mamma mia is when this came full of wok hei and al dente noodles - what sorcery!



DSC_1301

Chicken Briyani ($15)

A competent briyani here and this is definitely more worthwhile ordering than the nasi goreng!

DSC_1770

Nasi Goreng Chicken and Egg ($8.50)

A far cry from the mee goreng, this was barely fried and lacking in flavour. BOO.

Hits and misses but a really lovely place to go to for hearty Indian and local favourites.

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

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
