Stopped by Shikar for lunch instead of dinner so that our stomachs had all the space to digest the food before bedtime. They now have a brand new menu for Sunday brunch, so we need to come eat its duck biryani.
Today we didn't over-order. Had starters of papadum, grilled young jackfruit patties, panner tikka, and of course lamb shank biryani, monkey head mushrooms and dal with urad lentils. Freshly fried papadum is seriously tasty, and the restaurant's mix of chickpea flour, garlic and spices is on point. Those mushrooms totally complemented the biryani and dal. Absolutely delicious. We wisely chose to skip having garlic naan. We could have lah, and just tapau home what we couldn't inhale.
We couldn't finish the biryani and dal. There was exactly one generous portion to pack home. So I did. Leftovers always make a nice breakfast or small lunch for the man. And he can't do without his spices weekly, so at any chance of having Indian food, he would.
This is lunch, so we didn't bother with alcohol. We had masala chai instead. Unfortunately it was a disappointing pot for S$25. A cup would be S$15. It was cloying more than satisfying, and while elegant with saffron, it overly sweet, and contained too much milk. The table shared ONE dessert. I didn't know what they ordered actually. I didn't bother with it. It was some milk 'cake' jamun with rose and pistachio.
