Sakunthala's Restaurant at Syed Alwi Road

ABBEY: We got hungry after our “shopping spree” at Mustafa. 

We went at Sakunthala's and had our dinner. I got egg briyani for SGD8.50. It came with an enormous serving of briyani rice , two eggs and papads. What can I say? The meal is delicious, aromatic and full of flavor. 

I’ll come back for more.

WILL: After redeeming our new "walk-counter" at Health Promotion Board HQ, we headed to Mustafa. After our haul at 24hours mall, we went for a dinner at Sakunthala. 

Why we chose Sakunthala? There's a lot of people (Indiands and Foreigners) dining inside and outside the restaurant, that is the sign that they offer something spectacular. 

For days, I am craving for Biryani. Something spicy. I ordered for fish Briyani for $11.00. It comes up with a huge serving of rice, a piece of fish meat, an egg, bowl of curry, chunck of raita and of course a papadum. 

The taste? Oh! Absolutely Biryani. Not just a coloring that you can see on some stalls inside mall outlets. Haha! The spices are deeply engraved in every grains of basmati rice. The fish is tender. I ended up finishing all of it, except the egg (which I pass to Abbey). Imagine how big my tummy is. Haha! 

Now I am wondering where is the next Indian Restaurant we should eat. :) any suggestions?

The Coffee House - Singaporean Restaurant at Punggol Waterway Point

ABBEY: We got a date with Shane, our friend and highschool classmate. Since she’s new at SG, we want her to taste local cuisine. We went to The Coffee House at Waterway Point. 

I got the creamy laksa (SGD7.50) topped with tofu, oyster,  prawn, fish cakes and egg. Each scoop is delicious. We recommended Nasi Lemak for Shane. This comes with sambal prawn and chicken satay. 

And as to their name coffee and tea will be available :)

WILL: Work, work, work! That is Shane! Yep! Meet Shane! Oops! No photo of her. Haha. Next time, after her bruises in her face subsides, we will take one shot of her. Why she have bruises? Long story... 

Because Shane is busy when we go to Sentosa, we scheduled another date to dine and to relay to her the miracle in our life. In many food outlets you can find in Waterway Punggol, we chose The Coffee House. It serves local dishes. 

I ordered Bak Kut Teh Set for $12.90. I ended up swapping my set with Abbey's Laksa ($7.50). The pork meat have too much blood and not that tender. The laksa is ok. I enjoyed the prawns in it. 

If you are longing for local cuisine and yet you want some private place for you and your family, The Coffee House is there for you. Worry not, they don't charge service fee.

Good Old Days Sentosa - $20 Local Food Buffet Dinner

ABBEY: We got good news in the past month so we want to share it with our close friends in Singapore. But only Chat was available that time. We went to Good Old Days Sentosa (Beach Station). 

For a 20SGD budget per person you can have a buffet of local dishes. They serve laska, bee hon, seafood tofu, fish fillet, chicken and desserts like fruits and cake. 

There is not much variety of food but we enjoyed the taste of local food and also catching up with our stories. We even made our version of Yong Tau Foo with curry. 

This really gave us time to reminisce the “good old days” as well as the bright future ahead.

WILL: We received a miracle. A huge one! And of course we need to share with our friend here in Singapore. Abbey, I and Chat roamed around at Sentosa and ate dinner at Good Old Days. 

This is one of the cheapest eat-all-you can in Singapore. It serves not more than 12 local dishes that time. Not too much variety to choose from. Even on their drinks, they only offer orange juice and water. 

I am quite happy because of their smooth and creamy mini chocolate cake. The "DIY laksa" is not that good. Frustrated in a sense but I am not there to be sad. We are there to celebrate, so I indulge on their sweet watermelon and sliced oranges. 

For me, $20+ is a ripped off. I saw a dismayed face with my friend so I invited Abbey and Chat to get some coffee in Starbucks near at Universal Studios.
