Naan & Sweet Potato

Hello everyone!! I'm so excited to be typing here right now! For there is only one reason I could be doing this, means I'm quite free from my job(s). After tonnes of hectic work & sweat & probably some blood, I'm able to indulge in one of the greatest things in life, FOOD.

So I've watched a couple of shows and err reviews and decided to introduce 2 buffet places that is value for money. First up, we have an indian restaurant named Yantra. It's a fine dining restaurant and for it's effort of being one, it's cuisine is being exhibited at the recent World Gourmet Summit 2010. Located at tanglin mall, it's a tad too far from the mrt unless one drives or cabs.

Let's talk about the ambience

The buffet consists of a variety of curries, roasted chickens, yogurts and indian condiments. Though the variety is rather little, but the quality of the food is definitely top notch

Haha im sorry that I've covered the curries on the rice. The rice is the bomb! It's pure white and fluffy. With a scoop, you can see grain by grain clearly. It's the direct contrast of a sushi rice.

Let's dig in!

Hanny heng who can't stop moving!

And awhile later, the waitress serves NAAN. I love naan because it's not as oily as prata but has the prata "look" and for this naan, it isn't just a run of the mill naan.
It tasted a lil sweet perhaps the chef added sugar in it. I liked!

And there's the chef making naan. FYI, making of a naan is pressing the dough evenly and sticking it to the furnace like stove and charcoaled. Truly authentic northern indian food!

Photobucket
Our many many servings! I liked the steel bowl that they placed the naan it. It accentuates the naan.

Photobucket
Some naan just won't budge

Now let's try the soup. It taste like canned soup but I think canned soup taste better?! HAHA!

Photobucket
Now the dessert. see the milky blue dessert in the shooter. THat's blueberry in condensed milk. It's super sweet. After the flavory curries, the dessert neutralizes your taste bud.

Photobucket
Notice the yellow ball, that's actually coconut! This as well taste so good, i ate like 50 of them! no im just kidding ahaha.
On the top right hand, it's glutinous rice. Hanny's fav, it has a warm fuzzy texture.
On the top left hand, that's white yogurt. one word "YUCKS!"

Next up, we met up with jun hui whose sick but came down to meet us. Played some L4D and have another round of buffet! I know we just had a buffet earlier but then it's buffet.
Besides it's porridge and its cheap. So why not.
THis taiwanese porridge is at orchard apt hotel at killiney road. just for 13.80nett, eat all you want.

Too full to take any nice photos.

After tasting the food, these are the reactions
