Geylang Serai Briyani

The rice is a dry and grainy basmati mildly flavoured, unlike some heavily peppered and spiced. You'd hope that the curry will be tasty and rich. But I was disappointed when they served a lukewarm vegetarian Dhal.

But the mutton... overwhelms. Perhaps intentional to leverage a contrast of palate. The meat itself, so soft and juicy, slow cooked it remains pink. The rendang is slightly sweet but with rich spices that makes it also mildly spicy. On this alone, you have to try this! 

Mr Hamid takes so much pride in his cooking, he watches me take apart this plate and smiles: "more rice for you?"
