After Exams

The smell of Freedom.... the smell of North Indian Cuisine....

Thurs was the last day of exams.. (actually 5 of us have our exams ended one day before and enjoyed the after-exam meal at Amoy St. ). and we have all gathered for a meal at this North Indian Restaurant at Riverwalk (situated at opposite Central, Clarke Quay). Heh.. ages since we have some nice decent meal...

This North Indian Restuarant offered buffet dinner with about 12 main dishes + Naan + a few side dishes. Many of us have not eaten North Indian Cuisine before... it's considered somewhat a special "exotic" meal we were having here besides the usual hawker fare or normal western meal we normally go for. This is definitely not my first taste of North Indian food. I tasted my first piece of naan dipped in spicy piping hot Chicken masala at the Sim Lim Square Foodcourt. From then on, I have become quite a fan of North Indian cuisine. This restaurant served cheap and affordable buffet lunch and dinner. We only paid about $15 per person for the buffet.



We'r ready to dig in! (The drink in pink is known as Strawberry Lassi. It's their Yoghurt drink but taste nothing like the usual yoghurt drink we bought from supermarket. It has a strong cheesy taste instead.)



Sambal Chicken, Tandoori Chicken and some Fish curry of sort..Take more gravy for the naan!



The naan. Comes in 3 varieties. Plain, Butter and Garlic. It was made by sticking the dough on the side of a large stone/clay pot, heated up by burning charcoal. Less oil (more healthy) and thicker than their cousin Prata. Eat it while it's hot!



Big Fans of Naan...




Food Galore!



Time for desserts! No no no... this is not the chinese Tang Yuan. This dessert is known as the Milk Ball in Honey syrup. Not advisable to consume more than one especially for people who have low threshold for sweetness. I think it's too sweet for my liking either... tend to get sick after a few more bites of these milk balls.



If you feel the need to freshen up your breathe after the heavy meal, the waiter will offer you this plate of green or colourful grains. Grab abit and chew them in your mouth. It contains some herbs to get rid of the smell.. and urh.. you will have this " bathing foam in your mouth" kind of feeling in your mouth.
