Kamal Restaurant : Home of the Best Fried Chicken Briyani in Singapore

I hope my blog entry title got your attention. :) Rarely do I boldly call one to be the best...unless they really are the best.

I got to say that one reason why I truly enjoy going to work everyday (yes, I'm a nerd that way hihi) is aside from the fact that I love what I'm doing at the moment, I also look forward to lunch breaks. You see, my office is within Singapore's Central Business District and this just means it's literally surrounded by close to a hundred food options! Not even counting Amoy Food Centre which is just a few skips and hops away, our office neighborhood has a good mix of restaurants to satisfy whatever we may be craving for at the moment. From Indian to Italian, we even have a nice French bakery and a delicious Korean bbq restaurant too. The choices are truly endless!

One restaurant that I love is Kamal. It's an Indian restaurant that's famous for their Fried Chicken Briyani (around S$5.5-6). I've tried all sorts of briyanis before from fish, chicken, beef and mutton but to have it with fried chicken, it was something new to me. My first experience at Kamal was with my colleagues K and D. Actually, the restaurant also serves other viands at different times of the day but we were there for their specialty.

I know the plate may look messy but this is a perfect example of the saying : "Do not judge a dish by it's presentation.". As soon as you have your first bite and you'll totally  forgive the cook for the quite sloppy look of your briyani plate. I really enjoyed the long grain briyani rice which was fluffy and flavourful. For additional omph, I would add some yellow curry which they call gravy over my rice.

You can choose your chicken part and sadly for my first meal, I got the breast part. For my succeeding visits though, I knew better and happily got the thigh and leg combination. The chicken was very tender and it was surprisingly not so oily. While it may be red in colour, it's not spicy at all.

I brought Paul and Pan for lunch here a month ago and they both loved it! The best way to enjoy your Fried Chicken Briyani is to have it with a pack of papadums. I tell you, I'm crazy about these papadums! Dip it into the yellow curry and I'm pretty sure you'll truly understand why I'm so addicted to it..that is if you're into spices, herbs and Indian flavours too.

When in Singapore, visit Kamal Restaurant at 7A Stanley Street near the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. They're open from Mondays to Saturdays only.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
