Biryani (SGD $7.50) @ Koothurar Nasi Briyani. This popular stall, serving for over 30 years, is reowned for their hearty, delicious biryani.
.
Now helmed by the 2nd generation owners, they typically draw a long queue even before they open... and which only grows longer until they sell out, usually within 4 hours.
.
Much has been said of their large, generous chunks of mutton. Meaty and tender soft, coming apart easily, each bite carries a bold meaty savoury salty spice flavour.
.
Their basmatic rice is fluffy and loose, well tossed and seasoned with a complex blend of spices, including cardamom, cloves, turmeric, and uniquely, pandan / screwpine leaves. This imparts a delicate and enticing floral earthy grainy sweet spice flavour.
.
Sliced crunchy pickled cucumbers lend a refreshing vegetal sweet sour contrast, while the bouncy hard boiled egg lends body with eggy sweet notes.
.
They serve with a rich dalcha curry, though I find it good enough without, it's tasty as is.
