Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger

This restaurant (126 Race Course Road, S218585, tel:63417980) apparently serves cuisine from the coastal Indian states of Goa and Kerala. Which probably means that seafood is a specialty. Unfortunately, we had somehow overlooked all that seafood stuff and picked a bunch of other dishes like the coconut mutton fry, some mutton with tapioca dish which was a serious carbs overload, an interesting and pretty tasty stir fried cauliflower and spices dish called gobi manchurian. Of the three mentioned dishes, the coconut mutton fry and the gobi manchurian turned out pretty good with the former fried meat being surprisingly fragrant on the exterior and being quite spicy. The slivers of coconut turned out crunchy and quite tasteless though. These things gave me the prickly sensation up my scalp, so that says something about the level of spiciness. Topped onto the orders were a puttu, kashmiri naan (again!! this will be the last time) and of course, lassi. The attentive service that is rendered at the restaurant is excellent and very polite. Many others could learn a thing or four from them.


I think we ordered a little too much for two persons. The steaming hot puttu came in a size that looked like it could almost feed three persons and it was way too much fillers for a meal, considering that there was a large quantity of starchy tapioca and then, there was still naan. I think we might have gotten a little too greedy and overestimated here, but we'll learn from this (again!) the next time round. One of the specialties of the restaurant seem to be the Malabar briyani. That might be perhaps, for another time.
