HD, and I went to Tekka Food Centre just now. We felt like having some Indian food. I was hoping that my favourite Briyani stall - Yakader, was opened but by the time we got there, which was around 8pm, of course, the shutters were down. I so badly wanted HD to be a 'Yakader convert' like me but too bad..
However, there was this particular stall which caught HD's eyes. He claimed that since there was a picture of the owner of the stall and our President taken together, it definitely says a lot about the stall! Well, I find it hard to digest his logic but I went ahead and agreed with him anyway. Oh marvelous Yakader, why, why, why are you closed so early? I almost find it hard to hold back my tears but HEY! When they sent HD's Briyani, it didn't look too bad at all!
Dum Briyani (mutton) - $4.00
The portion they served was very generous. Infact, I was quite surprised that they served it on a tray instead of a plate and it only costs $4.00! The Briyani comes with a side of curry gravy in a small bowl and cucumber achar (pickled cucumber). Tastewise - Rice is fluffy, the mutton is tender and the spiciness was just right. I really DO NOT WANT to betray Yakader but I have to admit IT IS ACTUALLY GOOD!
Mee Kuah - $4.00
This was my spur of the moment order. I really had no idea what to have (definitely not Briyani or else I'll have to bear with the guilt trip) so at last I decided to settle for their Mee Kuah. To me, the perfect Mee Kuah should be accompanied with a sunny side up with a runny yolk once you poke through with a fork. This Mee Kuah however, is missing the yolk! Only the egg white was found and that left me disappointed though I must say the gravy was quite satisfyingly tasty...
