Dum Briyani Chicken |
"Where are we going to eat?" Driver asked Passenger.
"Driver decide!" Passenger replied.
"I am driving. It's dangerous! How do I decide?" Driver asked.
Passenger started rattling patiently a few suggestions before both agreed in one voice - heading to Thohirah restaurant in Jalan Kayu to eat Nasi Briyani. Thohirah's version of Nasi Briyani is my all time favourite. I have tried many famous versions but this remains the best. I like it because the rice and the curry has this amazing sourish taste, when combined with the spices, tasted marvellous. I could not find this sourish taste elsewhere. The chicken is always soft. Tip: Indicate the chicken part you want when you are ordering.
When the dish arrived, Passenger exclaimed, "Oh no! They forgot the chicken!" Driver replied that the chicken is buried in the rice because the order was Dum Briyani.
Dum Briyani Chicken S$9 |
Mutton Rendang S$6.50 |
Butter Chicken S$8 |
The meal was still satisfying because of the Dum Briyani and Teh Tarik. I would always be back for its unique taste which might not suit everyone's palate. I don't know about you but I always find the Jalan Jayu crowd to be very interesting - the young and old, the fashionable and the don't give a damn.
