The friends took us out to dinner at Anglo Indian Cafe & Bar at Chijmes. None of us knew it prior but the food at these outlets were pretty decent! The friends had been to the branch at Asia Square and didn't mind it at all. We were joking that we would just end up at Samy's again, because chicken liver masala, so S and D love it and they always get lunch dates at Samy's. Okay, not really joking. LOL
We made it to a 6.30pm and were pleased about it. Food was served fast; we ate fast, had a great time talking and we were done before 9pm. Perfect. That suited all of us for a 6am the next morning. The friends stepped in 10 minutes after we did. Mind you, they weren't late at all. We were early! Hahahaha.
We placed orders first even without consulting the friends, and somehow, we apparently ordered the 'right' dishes and all that they wanted. We didn't go overboard with the food. Easy items.
There were onion bhaji, a platter of grilled chicken, channa masala, dhal bukhara (makhani), Madras prawn curry, missi roti, garlic naan and mutton dum biryani. These were more than enough to fill our stomachs. I really don't like paying $70 for biryani, even if it uses top quality lamb with the best basmati. There's a bit of a difference in the fragrance of the rice, but I don't need to pay S$50 for that difference all the time. $26++ for a pot of mutton dum biryani is perfectly acceptable.
I passed on dessert. I can't deal with Indian sweets and desserts. They're just wayyy sweet for me. They ordered a rasmalai of soft milk squares and cottage cheese soaked in saffron milk and garnished with pistachio. There was definitely rosewater in this one. Ugh. I couldn't. Neither could N. We looked at each other with the same grimace on our faces and stuck to our very delicious and crisp iced lime soda. 🤪
