Bismillah Biryani Restaurant

ABBEY: My boss told me that Bismilah Briyani is the best briyani there is. So from that on, I plan to have an order of that rice delight. It happened after we went to Sim Lim Square to buy my latest toy. So we crossed Rochor Canal Road and headed to the shop at the intersection of Dunlop street and Perak road.


We got 2 chicken briyani for 16 SGD. Even though it is raining that day, I still bought a stick of kulfi (ice cream on stick). It was creamy and sweet. I'm not able to finish the srving of briyani. It has 2 cuts of chicken and a hard boiled egg. It is spicy but you can cool it down with the raita that comes with it. The rice is not also oily which is very different from other briyani that I had. You can eat it on its own even without gravy. 

Next time I'll try mutton and vegetarian variations.

WILL: Abbey is succumbed in addiction with Indian Cuisines. He is always up in searching the best of the best around here in Singapore. So, do you wonder where are those food? Of course, you can find those at Little India. 

After we bought his new GoPro stabilizer at Sim Lim Square we walked straight to Bismillah Briyani. While waiting for Abbey's order, one man started a conversation with me. He informed us that many Filipinos working at Singapore Gen that dines at their restaurant. As our talk goes by, I felt that he is the owner of the restaurant. Haha! Then I dropped a bomb question, "Why you put 'probably the best briyani' on your banner?" And outstanding answer was replied. It is because the word 'probably' represents that he is up and ready for changes and improvements of his famous briyani. Few minutes of talk and laughs make my husband and my day more colorful. ;) 

When we went home we're ready for the taste test. After I consume a portion of it, I asked Abbey when we will visit the store again? Their briyani is awesome, it is not that spicy and not oily unlike others. It is indeed a yummy experience.

Will surely be going to back to this store. Wohhhooo!!

Just Dough (Bun & Soup) - Suntec City Singapore

ABBEY: When we shoot Fountain of Wealth for our Singapore Flash Foward series, we found Just Dough bakery. It was recently opened and they're handing out samples. 

Without understanding what the staff is saying I grabbed a piece and put it on my mouth. I realized a familiar taste: shrimp. Haha. The staff got nervous when I told about my allergy. Who would have thought that the "siopao" can have tons of variations. We bought curry chicken, cream cheese, and cheesy chicken for not more than 2.60SGD a piece. 

The cream cheese tasted the best. The bakery also offers cakes. The takeaway buns should be resteamed before eating.




WILL: While walking at Suntec basement after our Singapore FlashForward shot at Fountain of Wealth, Abbey suddenly stopped and looked into a store offering steamed buns. He was given a sample that have shrimp (he is allergic to that) and the girl who offered that was so shocked when I informed her about my husband's allergy and it seems she wanted Abbey to spit it out. Haha. 

Anyways, we bought some of its variants. For only $1.90 I got to enjoy their Fruit Cheese bun. It is yummy that one is not enough. I like their Cheesy Chicken too. 

This is a great alternative on burgers or doughnuts for snacks or high teas. You will never go wrong on any flavors of this. :) 

I got to buy more when I got a chance to visit Suntec again.

Simple Chicken a la King Recipe

1/4 kg chicken (diced)
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
1/2 green bell pepper (sliced) 
1 can of cream of mushroom 
5 cloves of garlic 
2 onions 
4 tbsp dissolved flour  
Salt and pepper to taste 

Boil chicken in 4 cups of water with salt until it is tender. Sauté garlic, onions and sliced peppers. Pour in the chicken together with its broth on to the sautéed spices. While boiling pour in the dissolved flour until it thickens. Add on the cream of mushroom. Keep stirring up to a couple of minutes. 

Serve on top of your hot rice. Enjoy!




VERDICT
ABBEY: I'm happy whenever Wilma is telling me that she'll cook because I know that'll be tasting new food. She cooked Chicken ala King. She got scared when the flour formed lumps but managed to dissolve them into a thick cream. 

It was delicious. The strong mushroom flavor blended well with the chicken. Serve it on newly cooked rice and it's heaven.
