I read about this restaurant (195 Kitchener Road, tel : +65 6909 8694) that is apparently known for their Dindigul styled briyani which uses Jeera Samba rice. What sets these rice apart you might wonder. They're a variety of short grained rice not so commonly seen in this parts compared to the more well known basmati rice for briyani.
From what I read, the 'jeera' component of the name is given after their resemblance to cumin and 'samba' refers to the season from August to January when the rice is grown. End of trivia.
Much appreciated their very chilled lassi. Wasn't as thick as I had been expecting but it all worked out well as a relief from the heat.
Ordered a brain fry *cues Plants vs Zombies music*. Lamb brains stir fried with onions and black pepper with a flavour that's similar to the mutton fry that I had at Sakunthala's recently. Awesome dish.
We had an order of their paneer briyani. Each order of briyani looked like it was enough to feed two and included some onion raita and what appears to be a coconut-y vegetable korma on the side. From what I observed, the variety of briyani that they served are differentiated by the ingredients or toppings added to the rice. It looked to be otherwise the same briyani base. I could be wrong. Loved the savoury spices infused into the rice and I liked that they weren't shy with sufficient salt that brought out the flavours. Will come back another time.
