My cycling group have a motto....ERP...for Singaporeans, its not a poke at our ubiquitious Electronic Road Pricing, but ERP stands for Eat, Ride, Photo. The order suggests somewhat the relative importance of the activites. I had the opportunity to sample one of our foodie kaki's favourite biryani...just across the road from his Camera Shop, Roland took us to Bollywood Biryani.
I was going to be taking a break today...returning to blog on Thurs, but I thought this is a short simple post to highlight a very good biryani. Best, I am not sure...but certainly very good.
The mutton biryani has a rather large piece of mutton embedded within the rice. Basmati rice was used, but in my view, this was not top drawer biryani, but very good one. The grains of the rice was not ultra long, wiry type one gets in India. But the rather more normal types we have imported to Singapore. They use mutton, not lamb, so the meat had some bite. A small plate of spicy curry gravy accompanies.
I found the dish to be quite satisfying. The spices on the rice and smotherng the mutton was very fragrant and nice. And what's best about the dish is that it feels less oily.
Nice biryani. Good value. S$5.50 a plate for mutton. Worth returning.

Ahh I was in Singapore for 5 nights over Easter. I too enjoy a good Biryani. I knew you have few post but as I only had a short time went for the Birtyani at the Ion Basement foodhall. It was mutton but the rice was cooked separately. It was nice.The joke here was we stayed at Grand Park City Hall in Coleman Lane. Ahh yah, as you singaporean would say!!
