Beef Rice Bowl

$15.00 · 7 Reviews

Went on a pretty unfortunate day where we only had the option of a beef rice bowl..

It sure looks pretty.

Thought the cardamom grains were heavily reminiscent of the familiar briyani rice haha.

The beef was very salty.

While the tomato salsa was honestly spoilt :(

2/10

I only actually liked the cutely shaped pappadum.

It is located at the lobby of Daulat Hotel in little india a little off from the main streets and crowds which i prefer that. Had beef rice bowl, egg benedict and cocoa acai bowl for total bill of $62.

The service staff was friendly but a little hiccups was that they missed out two of our orders which made us wait a little longer. Overall dining experience was good though 👍🏼

The Beef Rice Bowl - The base of the rice bowl is made with cauliflower florets and brown rice, and is topped with alfafa, amaranth and red daikon. Cherry tomatoes, corn, red onions and a wobbly poached egg are paired with the thin beef slices.

With brown rice as the base and dainty cauliflower florets alongside it, this rice bowl is like a mini garden paired with cherry tomatoes, corn and red onions
and topped with alfalfa, amaranth and red daikon.
Doused in housemade tonkatsu sauce and then crown it with a poached egg .
Add in papadum as a pre meal snack and you have an immensely satisfying dish.

[Halal] If you're looking for a cozy outdoor café to sit down and enjoy a bowl of rice with plenty of fresh veggies and herbs, then Santap and its Iftar Set (Rice Bowl + Drink, $15) might just be right up your alley.

It is the brainchild of the people behind places like Afterwit, Mad Sailors and Working Title, and sees its menu adopting a healthy-and-clean-eating slant. To execute that, they've thrown in numerous fresh ingredients (plus a poached egg and a papadum) into the mixing bowl. What could go wrong with such an acceptable-sounding method? Not much, I guess, except for one - the over-reliance on it to produce a significant output in terms of taste.

Personally, I feel that this was the misstep. Don't get me wrong - I do think the Beef Rice Bowl has its merits. It makes for an aptly light meal for iftar, which paces very well with, what I'd like to call, the Ramadhan appetite. It was filling, but not to the point where you'd start feeling bloated and uncomfortable. The poached egg is also worth a mention - it was really well-made, with a firm, yet delicate egg white and a viscous yolk that oozes out with a pizzaz like Bruno Mars's.

However, it fell short because of how painfully average it is. Not sure if it was bland or that I was finding for just something to trigger the "wow this is good" gun in my head, but I kept feeling like I was eating it mindlessly. It is because of that very thing that I honestly believe it lacked sophistication or an element of surprise.

So while I do feel that Santap has an admirable concept, I think their Beef Rice Bowl leaves more to be desired. But hey, nothing a little bit of tweaking to the recipe can't fix right? Otherwise, they have other choices on the menu which probably trump this and are thus, worth a try. (6.8/10)

Rice bowls at Santap comes default with cauliflower florets and brown rice topped with alfalfa, amaranth, red daikon — the Beef bowl also comes with poached egg (they offered a sunny side-up for ours), cherry tomatoes, corn, red onions and Tonkatsu sauce. Overall a pretty wholesome bowl that comes with a good balance of greens, meat and grains — the sunny side-up was runny with pretty tender slices of beef and greens to crunch on while the Tonkatsu sauce adds a tang to the rice bowl.

End
