I have been wanting to get my ass to Firangi Superstar for a while now. Not only because of the usage of the word, Superstar, which if you know, you know is the suffix to one of India’s biggest movie stars, Rajinikanth. But also, as a fan of Wes Anderson’s quirky, fantastical movie sets, I […]
Gaggan. After all these years, I finally tried this famed chef’s take on Indian cuisine. Never planning in advance, I never made it to Gaggan during my trips to Bangkok. Bizarre considering Gaggan held the top spot in the S Pellegrino Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for a record-breaking 4 years running from 2015 to […]
Yantra has always been one of my favourite restaurants. Granted, I don’t frequently head out for Indian cuisine, after all, my mom is a super cook (which Indian wouldn’t say their mom’s cooking is the best?) but when I do, I have a few favourites in the Indian fine dining scene in Singapore. I discovered […]
If it was not for the fact that a friend had suggested I attend a tasting session at Flying Monkey, I might have just missed out on this place altogether. Only because the emphasis at Flying Monkey seems to be a lot on the Indian-inspired cocktails that you can have with the Indian tapas. And I […]
This is the aunty-approved Singapore Best Restaurants 2016 food guide – The Masala Guide! I thought of writing a listicle so that Santa Google would gift me with a million hits, but decided against it. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of Singapore Best Restaurants 2016 type of articles being published so I thought, why not […]
Aha! Finally, The Diva Eats Prata has a post about…prata. Can’t blame me. I’m fussy about that stretchy, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside piece of dough and, most times, repeat visits to some “classics” in the good old East of Singapore garner different results. Springleaf? Too crispy. Crane Road? Too oily. Duku […]
The Song of India was bestowed a star by the inaugural 2016 Michelin Guide Singapore and is the only Indian fine dining restaurant to have been awarded with a star by the guide. Not to take anything away from The Song of India, but why them over other favourites like Yantra or Punjab Grill is […]
If even my mom can say that the food was really good, and her friend said it was “the best lunch I’ve had”, then I think you can take it that Punjab Grill at Marina Bay Sands is good. From the ambience to the service to the food, you will notice little touches that will […]
Now we all know Indian food hasn’t yet fallen victim to the “tiny plates” movement, I mean, give me a mountain of rice and drown it with curry, right? But in Saha’s case, Chef Abhijit Saha’s mixing of traditional Indian with innovative techniques is worth checking out. Originally at Duxton Hill, Saha has moved to the […]
If you’re hankering for an Indian breakfast fill-me-up, Ananda Bhavan in Little India is a great option. It’s all vegetarian, and the “live” Appam (spelled as Appom by some) station is the highlight for me. Hailing from Kerala (my mother’s birthplace), where most yummy south indian dishes originate from (or so I might biasedly say), […]
