Worst than Dante's Inferno....

There's a reason why I'm giving the post such a title. But for a start, let's take a look at what they are offering over here...

'Papadum' For a start, the 'Papadum' is pretty crispy. It's so shiok that one could easily forget about the mains and wipe out the whole basket of crispy 'Papadum'.

It also comes with the 'hari chutney'. Even though this sauce is a given but it isn't something that attracts me that much. What interest me the most would be the mains.

This is a billboard to indicate the different levels of chilli that they are offering over here. According to the staff over here, you need to wipe out a plate of level 6 in order to earn the ticket to the next level. And there's quite a bit of rules and regulations that you have to take note... Hence being a spicy food lover, I decided to go for...

Since this my first and I don't think that it can get any spicier than my crazy experience with a 'Si Chuan Ma La' hot pot, hence I decided to give the 'Level 6 Fish Curry' a good try. 'Level 6 Fish Curry' You can choose to have it with a tube of white rice or Saffron Rice... But I ended up trying out both of them... I will explain why later. Anyway, while placing our orders, the warm-hearted waitress was like 'are you sure you want to take on level 6 Fish Curry?' and since this was my first visit, she's advising me to go with the 'Level 6 Chicken Curry' instead. Being over confident, I decided to stick with my decision and here's my order.

Before moving on to the dish, let me list down the rules and regulations over here first. For a start, you must finish everything yourself (Of Course lah) and you cannot take any beverage(s) while eating. The rules might sound simple but wait till you give it a try. :D As for the dish itself, the first few spoonful are pretty okay(I guess). Though the dish is spicy, but one can easily differentiate the taste of the super thick fiery curry and the taste of the sweet fish. But as I dig in further, I started getting this burning/beating sensation in my stomach... -.-"""" And that is pretty stunning. But that isn't the worst part, after a few more bites later, my fingers felt as if they are going to burst through the skin. And I haven't had such an experience for quite some time. And the worst part? I'm running out of rice and the fresh portion of vegetables. Time for the second portion.... =.="""" With a second portion of rice, I finally managed to wipe out all the spicy fish meat. But I was told that I need to wipe out the harmless looking fish curry too. Seriously, once you can survive through 90% of this dish, the remaining portion isn't such a big deal anymore.

'Winning Peg(?)' Once you have accomplished level 6, you will be given this peg and at the same time, you have to leave your particulars with them. You can decorate the peg a bit and hang it next to the billboard of spicy level. Hence, this is my design. As for the bit why you have to leave your particulars, is mainly because you can only give level 7 onwards a try after you have achieve the peg for level 6. And you can only move 1 level at a time. Meaning you have to move from 6 -> 7 -...> 10 one by one. And like a Pyramid, the number of pegs hanging up there gets lesser and lesser as you move up the billboard. Oh by the way, they are holding the high levels spicy food-tasting session known as the 'Full Moon Party Chilli Challenge' once a month. And it's free if you can wipe out the high level curries by yourself. Do take note that only the chosen ones will be invited. (They will either drop you a sms or an email.) Isn't it great? You can kill multiple birds with one stone. You can have your dinner, get the peg to gain access to the next level and at the same time, push yourself to the limits (spicy level).... :P

'Chocolate Ice Cream' Since the day we visited this place was 3 days after my birthday, they have pop in this ice cream for free too. This is pretty helpful since my stomach was still undergoing this burning/beating sensation after 15 minutes or so. Though this has reduce the beating sensation a bit but it's insufficient. In the end I ended up wiping out 2 big bottles of milk to try to put out the burning sensation but apparently that doesn't prove to be effective too.

So where can you give this challenge a good try?

The mother of all bread?!?

According to the Indian dictionary, the word 'Roti' means a type of bread. But what has that got to do with our post today?

'Coffee Bun' This would be their signature bun. I remember a few years back, due to the popularity of the 'Coffee Bun', in order not to lose out to the ever changing food market, almost all the bakery in the neighborhood are selling this. But what's so special about this? For a start, the outer layer was pretty crispy. In contrast to the outer layer, the inner layer was far more fluffy. As you dig into the bun, you will realize that the bun has this nice sweet taste, topped with the nice aroma of 'Coffee'. This has pretty much explains the popularity of this shop. (When I was walking past the place, I was like how can this bakery survive with limited items on the menu... =.=""" However, it seems that this shop has been around for more than 10 years, which is @.@.)

So where can you give the 'Coffee Bun' a good try?

The name of this shop would be 'Roti Mum'. They currently only has a shop in Singapore, which is located in 'IMM'.

A pair of prawns...

Like the Chinese that has bite size snacks like 'Dim Sum', all the food cultures out there ought to have some indulging bite size snacks. And that has something to the post today. :P

'Samosa' The comes in the shape of a triangle.

First of all, I loved the crispy crust which isn't too oily. Though the size of it is kinda small but the taste is pretty alright. (In fact, if I want, I think I can drop the whole thing into my mouth directly.) The filling comes with a strong taste of potatoes, which is something that I like. :)

'Prawn Vadai' This is the speciality over here. It looks pretty much similar to the Chinese Prawn fritter. However, unlike the Chinese, the 'Prawn Vadai' over here has a crispy texture but it's fluffy inside. Even though, by increasing the number of prawns, it has pretty much secure the taste of the prawns in every single bite. But as compared to the Chinese Prawn fritter, which comes with far more ingredients has a much stronger taste, though it's much more oily too. :P

So where can you give these snacks a good try?

When everything looks so fiery....

And by having a fiery exterior doesn't mean that the ingredients are spicy in nature. If you ended up looking at a big plate of reds, don't be afraid, what you are going experience would most likely to be a plate of...

'Indian Rojak' Started off choosing the usual stuff like ''Fried Beancurd', 'Fried Fish Cake', etc... then I pretty much started to give up identifying the different types of ingredients. Event though the shape of the different types of ingredients are completely different, but the colors are pretty much the same. =.=""" One of the interesting ingredients that they are offering over here would be a special type of prawn fritters that is made up of mini shrimps. One might ask what's so special about the shrimps? It simply means that every single bite out of the prawn fritters will be filled with a nice taste of shrimps, which is (+). Besides for the nice range of ingredients that they are preparing and offering over here, the warm, thick and tasty sauce is a (+) too. When you started dipping the ingredients into the sauce and pop them into your mouth, Hmmmmm... it tastes so good. :P Rather than choosing a plate of ingredients of a similar texture, one good reason why I like Rojak would be the nice mix of ingredients with different textures and chewing sensation. :)

So where can you give this plate of ingredients a good try?

Almost have it all...

'Little India', one of the best places to get your Briyani fix. Just by browsing through the menus of all the Indian eateries in this area requires more than half a day's work. =.=''' Anyway, time to move on... :)

'Chicken Dum Briyani' Even though this is a Muslim stall preparing and selling Indian food but it doesn't mean that it would lost out to the stuff prepared at a Indian stall or restaurant. Though the queuing process can be pretty nasty, but just by looking at the helpers over here scooping out deliciously looking portions of food out of the gigantic pot just simply makes me feel like drooling.

Anyway, there isn't a lot of places in Singapore, where you can get such a big plate of 'Briyani' at an affordable price. Not only the portion is great, the taste is pretty good too. For a start, the Briyani rice is richly spiced. Not only it comes with a nice fragrance when I scoop it inside my mouth, the rice has a nice moist texture, which is a big (+) too. But that isn't the best part. Even though I'm using a pair of plastic utensils, but I can scoop out all the moist and tasty meat effortlessly, which is a big (+). Through there isn't a lot of side dishes, but with the small portion of marinated crunchy Cucumbers can really workout as a good side dish. The curry-like sauce is a (+) too, in fact to a certain extent, the taste of this dish is so good that you don't really need this at all. :)

So where can you give this dish a good try?

Burning with Style?

After numerous weeks of eating and trying out new diners, I realised that I haven't been trying Indian food for quite some time. I started keeping a lookout for interesting Indian diners and I managed to come across... this.

'Papadum' After placing my orders, this basket of 'Papadum' just appear out of nowhere. While waiting for my orders, I decided to give the 'Papadum' a go first. Well, the texture is reasonably crispy. Luckily, I was dining alone, else it's kinda sad if I have to share this delicious basket of 'Papadum' with a group of people.

'Spices / Sauces' I don't think I have used any of these at all. And that just proves how good the 'Papadum' and the subsequent food items are... :)

'Vindaloo Curry + Saffron Rice' These are the items that I have ordered for my dinner the other day.

'Vindaloo Curry(Chicken)' This is/would probably end up to be the most reddish portion of Curry that I have seen for the year 2014. I was stirring it for a short while and it seems that the texture of the Curry over here, isn't watery at all. In fact, it's pretty thick and solid. Oh by the way, as you placed an order for this, the waiter will ask you to choose the level of spiciness that you want. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest level. Taste wise, I would write about it in a short while. (Anyway, I ended up trying level 7 :D.)

'Saffron Rice' Hmmm, in fact I don't find this any different from the usual 'Biryani Rice' that I'm getting outside. However, one thing I don't like about the food over here would be the portion. The portion of the food over here just isn't big enough for me. :(

Once I started digging into both dishes, the colors of the Curry looks pretty overpowering. In fact, it was really very spicy and tasty. The first few spoonful might not have an impact on you, but the tension will slowly build up and burn you inside out for a short period of time. This in fact was pretty good. I wonder how the highest level would ended up to be. Well, that's something that I'm pretty interested to find out. On top of that, the boneless chicken that comes with the Curry are pretty tender and well 'marinated' with the Curry. However, to summarize the overall dining experience, I still find the spicy Curry to be the most memorable part of that meal.

So where can you give the food a good try?

Located in 'Cuppage Terrace'...

lies an 'Indian' Dining restaurant known as 'Curry Culture'. And that's the place where you can find and give the spicy 'Vindaloo Curry' a good try.

Nothing to do with Apple...

That's right, even though the name of this place has the 'Mac' word in it, but it has nothing to do with 'Apple'.

'Tandoori Chicken Pizza' Although it's merely the size of a normal regular pizza, what makes this interesting will be the topping that goes on top of the pizza. The main toppings of this pizza would be the generous portion of 'Tandoori Chicken', 'Capsicum' and 'Jalapeno'. Probably they wanted to attract the interest of a bigger group of consumer, therefore they have managed to come up with this interesting type of pizza. A fusion dish between the Indians and the Western food. Taste wise, the crispy and not too thick crust is a great way to start. As you move towards the 'core', the nice mixture of melted cheese and ingredients makes it pretty chewy. Rather than being spicy, the overall taste of the pizza is relatively sweet and as you gobble down the first slice, the meaty and cheesy sensation is so good that simply makes you want to go on and on. :D

So where can you give the interesting pizza a try?

The name of the cafe would be "Mac's Cafe & Bar'. It's located on level 1 of 'Fusionopolis'.

Notes:

• Operating Hours:
  Weekdays: 11:00 - 12:00

• Hmmm... It makes me ponder, why does the cafe always appear to be so empty when they are offering good food at a reasonable price?

Next to a Mosque and not a Temple...

Suddenly have the urge to 'Biryani Rice' and No, I'm not referring to the normal 'Biryani Rice'. I wanted to eat the 'Dum Biryani Rice', therefore...

Oh by the way, this restaurant isn't located in 'Little India'. It's located near 'Chinatown MRT'. As I reached the place pretty late, I think that I ended up to be the last dining in customer of that day. Anyway after I have placed my orders, I saw the helpers over here opening this humongous cooking pot and scoop out all the food. I was taking a sneak peek inside and it seems that the pot contains both the 'Biryani Rice' and lots of 'Chicken' inside, which makes me wonder how much time is needed for them to prepare such a humongous pot of 'Dum Biryani'.

'Chicken Dum Biryani' For a start, this 'Dum Biryani Set' comes with a big piece of 'Chicken', a colourful plate of 'Biryani Rice' and a small portion of vegetables. Even though the 'Biryani Rice' looks goldish brown in colour, but if you take a closer look, the colour isn't equally distributed. But, most bites still comes with both the nice fragrance and taste of the spices and 'Chicken'. And if you pour a bit of 'Curry Gravy' over the 'Biryani Rice' and mixed it together, it actually amplified the taste into something much more filling and tasty. As for the 'Chicken' itself, probably they have cooked it for too long, therefore, I personally find it a bit too dry and a bit too bland. Probably most of the taste has been sucked by the 'Biryani Rice', therefore...

'Papadum' The 'Papadum' doesn't comes with the 'Dum Chicken Biryani' set, therefore you have to pay for it separately. However, a packet of 'Papadum' comes with a few pieces and each individual piece isn't too oily and it's pretty crispy too. :D

The name of this restaurant would be 'Taj Authentic Indian Cuisine'. It's located along 'South Bridge Road'. By the way, rather than located next to the 'Indian Temple' along 'South Bridge Road', it's located next to the 'Mosque' instead.

In search of the Indian Style Fish Head Curry...

I always thought that it was the Chinese that invented the 'Fish Head Curry', but after reading through numerous articles online, it have proven that I'm wrong. The genius behind the 'Fish Head Curry' idea seems to be an Indian. Therefore, I started doing a search for 'Indian Fish Head Curry' and ...

The both of us ended up having our dinner at this Indian restaurant.

'Vegetarian Biryani' If I'm not mistaken they are offering a slightly smaller 'Vegetarian Biryani' set over here. I'm not sure how does the normal 'Vegetarian Biryani' set over here looks like, but since they are charging us half the original price of the normal 'Vegetarian Biryani', therefore the normal 'Vegetarian Biryani' set should be getting a few more vegetarian side dishes. As for the set that we are getting that night, it comes with free flow of side dishes, 'Papadum' and 'Biryani Rice'. Well, I guess the side dishes over here are subjected to change. For side dishes the other night, we are getting the crunchy cabbages and nicely marinated potatoes. And the crispy and not too oily 'Papadum' is a big (+). Even though the 'Biryani Rice' doesn't comes with a super nice fragrance, but it's acceptable. And the generous portion of good 'Biryani Rice' and side dishes has already made my 'Day' or should I say 'Night'. But hey, this isn't the main objective of this trip. Our main objective of this trip would be the...

'Fish Head Curry'(Large) This is really a very big pot of 'Fish Head Curry', especially when we are sharing it among the both of us. Base on my calculations, this is big enough to be shared among a group of 4. (That is on top of the 'Vegetarian Biryani' set that you are going to order and have it with the 'Fish Head Curry'.) Taste wise, the thick gravy is a big (+). It's so delicious and good that I could easily finish a few plates of 'Biryani Rice', just by covering it with the gravy. Though it's known as 'Fish Head Curry', it doesn't mean that you will only be getting a 'Fish Head' in this pot of 'Curry'. It also comes with vegetables like 'Lady Fingers', 'Brinjal' and not just one but both sides of the 'Fish Head'. By the way, I don't think that the 'Fish Head Curry' is fiery enough for me but my friend doesn't seems to agree with me. Fine, I do agree that I have a much much higher tolerance level of spicy food. Anyway from the taste of the 'Curry', I think that the chef over here has really put lots of effort in preparing the dish. For a start, the texture of the 'Fish' and 'vegetables' are not too soft and soggy. On top of the almost perfect texture, they have managed to mix all the heavenly taste of the 'Fish Head Curry' into the ingredients nicely too, which is a very very big (+). :D By the way, they also have this dish known as 'Fish Head Deluxe (XL)'. I tried placing an order for it, but they don't have it that particular night. If I really have the time, I would really want to give that a try, since the 'Fish Head Curry' is already a big and good surprise to me.

'Mutton MySore' As compared to the delicious 'Fish Head Curry', this might ended up to be a disappointment. Although the texture of the 'Mutton' isn't too dry but the odor of the 'Mutton' still remains to be pretty strong. I was hoping that the spices that they are using could cover the odor of the 'Mutton' but it's just too bad.

'Masala Tea' The idea behind this beverage is pretty much similar to the 'Ginger Tea'. They are adding spices throughout the process of brewing this tea. Therefore, you will be getting this nice spicy and sweet sensation from the beverage itself. Not forgetting the nice aroma of the 'Masala Tea' too. :P

So where can you give all these delicious 'Indian Food' a good try?

Shiok, Dum Biryani...

I haven't been eating 'Biryani Rice' for a very long period of time. And since I wanted to intake lots of Iron within a short period of time so that I could donate my blood successfully, therefore I might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone and search for...

'Dum Chicken Biryani' I have read it somewhere that they will only be preparing and selling 'Dum Biryani' on Fridays and Weekends. Therefore, I was patiently waiting till last Friday, before making a trip down to this restaurant. I'm glad that I have made a trip down here. The set meal comes with a big plate of 'Biryani Rice', topped with 2 crispy piece of 'Papadum' and a piece of 'Chicken' hidden inside the generous portion of 'Biryani Rice'. They have also provides a bowl of 'Curry', 'Green Vegetables' and 'Raita'(White Yogurt with Vegetables) too.

It's been a very long time since my last encounter with such a beautiful plate of 'Biryani Rice'. Unlike some 'Biryani Rice' out there that have a mixture of 'White', 'Yellow' and 'Orange' colour, the 'Biryani Rice' here are goldish brown in colour. Every single bite of the 'Biryani Rice' has been loaded a nice mix of 'Spices' and 'Chicken' and the delicious sensation I'm getting from the rice is wonderful. And to some extent the taste is already on par with a normal plate of 'Biryani Rice' covered with lots of delicious gravy. However, that's not all. you should try having it with the bowl of 'Curry' that they are offering over here. It's pushing the taste the 'Biryani Rice' to a heavenly level. Don't believe me? Then you should really give the 'Biryani Rice' over here a good try. Even though the 'Chicken' isn't that fantastic, but it's pretty decent too. Probably it's buried inside the mountain of 'Biryani Rice', therefore it also comes with this nice fragrance of spices too. As for the not so oily, yet crispy 'Papadum'. There's sufficient portion that can be broken down into smaller pieces and savour it with the delicious 'Biryani Rice'.

So where can you give this heavenly plate of 'Dum Chicken Biryani' a try?

Too much for me...

Since most of the time I'm dining alone, therefore when I feel like eating something or when my stomach is controlling my body and mind, I will still go for it despite of the fact that I'm dining alone. However...

'Special Dinner Combo' Frankly speaking, this ended up to be something too big for me to handle. Even though I managed to finish up most of it within an hour or so, but I ended up spending another 3 or 4 hours waiting for my stomach to digest most of it, before I continue digging into the generous portion of 'Potato Wedges' at home. (In fact, luckily I have requested for a tube of 'Brown Sauce' when I takeaway the rest of it(the 'Potato Wedges'), otherwise I will have problem finishing everything.) =.=""" Even though, I took a crazily long time to finish up everything, but surprisingly, the 'Potato Wedges' didn't ended up to be too soft. In fact, it still remains to be pretty delicious when I dipped them inside the 'Brown Sauce'. On top of that, the 'Wedges' aren't too oily at all(before and after the takeaway. :P) and I think that the taste doesn't lose out to the much more common 'French Fries'. :D

By the way, the set meal not only comes with 'Potato Wedges' only. It also comes with 'Whole Pork Knuckle', 'German Sausages', 'Whipped Potato', 'Achar', 'Sautéd Vegetables' and also 'Brown Sauce'. The 'German Sausage' are a big disappointment. Although the texture are pretty bouncy, but the taste of it is a big disappointment. The taste of it is much more closer to a regular 'Hot Dog' than a 'German Sausage'. :| As for the 'Achar' and 'Whipped Potato' the taste of it are acceptable but definitely not something that's super fantastic. As for the rest of the vegetables, I don't really care about it. Especially when my main motive that particular day were mainly on the meaty stuff itself. The vegetables are mainly there to help me to feel much more better. (Especially, when I feasting on some many sinful stuff. :P By the way, I still manage to finish up the whole plate of vegetables even though I'm ultra full already.)

As for the 'Whole Pork Knuckle', the skin are far more crispier than the ones that I have eaten over the past few years. On top of that, the meat isn't too stiff and too dry. And setting the bones aside, I don't find the process of slicing up the flesh of the 'Knuckle' to be too difficult, which is another big (+). Anyway for slow eaters, you can add/pour some 'Brown Sauce' over the 'Knuckle' as and when the flesh are getting much more harder and difficult to be sliced up. :P (Just take note of the amount that you are pouring on it. Though the 'Brown Sauce' over here are pretty good, but it can get real salty when you pour excessive amount over your food. :D)

So where can you give this a try?

Though it's known as Rojak, but it works like Satay...

To some extent, this is pretty much a good mixture of both Rojak and Satay. Why do I say so? Well, just by taking a look at the following photo should pretty much explains everything. :)

'Indian Rojak' Over here, you get to choose your own ingredients and once you are ready, you will have to pass it over to the uncle standing behind the stall. While waiting for the food, I was taking a second look at all the different types of ingredients that they have over here. In fact, most of them look pretty much the same to me and it's the shape that actually varies and I'm pretty amazed with the fact that the Uncle can memorise all of them. =.="" After waiting for a few minutes, I finally found myself sitting in front of a plate of 'Indian Rojak'. I started poking the ingredients one by one and dipped it into the nice and warm sauce. Woooo.... Yummy. Although the sauce is a bit reddish and orangish, but it's not spicy at all. In fact, it's a nice blend of peanut and several other spices(?). Not only the sauce isn't too thick, the taste is sweet and the texture is pretty chunky too. Though some of the ingredients are pretty ordinary, but the sauce itself can boost the taste of it to a whole new level. :D To some, eating 'Indian Rojak' would be a very sinful thing to do. This is mainly due to the fact that the process of preparing the food undergo a lot of frying, which means a lot of oily and fatty stuff. :P But there are reason why I love it. First of all, some of the ingredients are crispy outside and irresistibly crunchy inside. For example, the Potatoes. On top of some common ingredients that I'm pretty familiar with, I have also chosen some other ingredients that I have difficulty identifying them. Therefore it ended up to be an interesting guessing game to me too. Last but not least, the free cucumbers and green chillies. :P Yeah, I knew that I'm a cheapo, but not only I like freebies (who doesn't?), I also like the taste of these vegetables too. :D

So where can you give this a try?

Andhra food

According to my friend, Andhra Food, which is a type of Indian food, are famous for it's spicy flavour. Therefore, since I'm a big fan of spicy food, I decided to give it a go.

'Chicken Biryani' Probably some of you will picture a plate of 'Chicken Biryani' to be a complete mess, however rather than scooping the biryani from the metal bowl onto the plate slowly, I have a much more easier way of doing it. You can just cover the metal bowl of biryani using a plate and flip it over quickly. Rather than lifting the metal bowl up immediately, I would turn the bowl slowly, before lifting it up. (Usually, there will still be a bit of biryani rice left inside the bowl. I would just scoop the rest of them out of the bowl and add it to the plate. By the way, if you are going to use this method, please be careful of the hot metal bowl. :P) Taste wise, the 'Papadum' that was given was flawless. The entire thing was pretty crispy. As for the taste of the warm biryani itself, the fragrance of the biryani rice were pretty good. Even though the taste of the chicken meat were pretty normal, but when you mix it with the biryani rice, the overall taste of this dish was actually fantastic. However, despite giving more than 2 different types of curry a try, I'm kinda disappointed because the food over here isn't spicy enough. Even though the taste of the biryani over here were excellent, but it have not meet the expectation of spicy food. Or maybe I should give some other dishes a try next time round.

So where can you give the tasty biryani a try?

The name of this place would be 'Andhra Curry'. It's located near 'Little India MRT'.
