A little back ground about the Indian Curry House
Indian Curry House is founded in 2008 by three professionals with combined experience 30 years’ in food & beverage industry. Today it is run by a team of 25 F&B professionals specialising in Authentic Indian dishes. They have 3 branches located at east coast, expo and bukit timah.
It was on a tuesday evening that myself and fellow bloggers are attending this food review. The place is pretty cosy with nice curtains and nice lighting to set the evening mood right. We were all being treated to the restaurant's specialities like the tandoori chicken, butter chicken, fishcake, chilli garlic prawn, kashmiri rogan josh, kulfi and gulab jamun.
Here's the first dish for the food tasting - tandoori chicken
The tandoori chicken tasted like it was nicely being barbeque over the charcoal. The level of spicyness was not too overwhelming. Even kids would be able to take it.
Second dish-fish cake
The fish cake tasted a bit like meat patties with bread crumbs. A different version from what the usual chinese style of fish cake that we could get from the local supermarkets. However , the taste of the fish meat is rather flaky inside which denotes that it is freshly made with no preservatives in it. It is slightly salty.Thus it would be good if besides pairing up with the mayonaise sauce, it could be paired with either ketchup sauce or garlic chilli sauce from sinsin.
Next , we have the saffron rice and the plain basmati rice.
Saffron rice
Plain basmati rice
Basmati rice is a long rice grain which is typically used to cook for nasi briyani. Having said that , basmati is benefical to diabetic patients as it is said to be having medium glycemic index which is lower than any other types of rice.
What does the glycemic index means ? It is actually a measurement of glucose level increase from the consumption of carbohydrate.
Talking about the saffron and plain basmati rice, it is so nice that you could even eat it on its own. As saffron is one of the most expensive spice in the world, I am glad that I was able to enjoy the taste of the saffron rice on its own. The plain basmati rice is also unique in its own way where tasting each fine grain of it was so enjoyable.
My favourite dish - garlic naan
The garlic naan is done in a manner where it is so crispy and the taste of the garlic is not overwhelming that one would get the pungent garlic smell after eating !!! Kudos to the north indian chef behind the kitchen.
Next , it's the butter chicken
The butter chicken is very soft and the creamy tomato sauce that is used to cook does not cover the taste of the tomato yet still can savour the buttery taste of it.
Next dish- kashmiri rogan josh
This is the mutton dish that does not have the stench of the mutton. It is well stewed with tomatoes and the after taste was that the mutton melts in ur mouth.
Next dish - chilli garlic prawns
This dish is considered to be the fusion of the chinese and indian food of the restaurant. It is prepared in the manner of fusing spring onion, onion , red chilli and the secret sauce by the chef.
The Grand Finale- Desserts
Pistacho Kulfi
It tasted like it was mango blended with condensed milk ,frosted with ice cream. I found that it was a little too sweet for my liking but it was a nice combination for people with sweet tooth.
Gulab Jamun
It is made up of milk and being deep fried before simmering with sugar syrup . Personally I feel that the size of the dumpling was made just right cos after the main course one would not be able to eat too much for dessert. Best thing was that not too much sugar syrup was being given. Thus it is was not as sweet as the pistachio kulfi.
