Biryani (SGD $9) @ Ali Nachia Briyani Dam. The famed briyani stall from the now-defunct Tanjong Pagar railway is still serving a beloved Singaporean Muslim version of the dish after more than 20 years. . Helmed by cik Mohammed Ali (dad of footballer Rafi Ali), the basmati rice is cooked dum style, resulting in a fluffy loose texture with good aroma. The rice is mildly flavoured with grainy sweet spice notes, with the primary taste drawing from the meat and curry gravy instead. . The mutton is soft and tender, coming apart easily, and the rich complex layer of spices lends bold punchy meaty spice savoury salty flavour. No gamey taste here. . A duo of crunchy cucumbers accompany; the first in a thin yoghurt with milky sweet vegetal flavour; the second in a thin chili gravy with vegetal sweet spicy kick. And a bowl of that delicious curry gravy to complete. . . . Biryani Ali Nachia Briyani Dam @ 9 Hoe Chiang Road .

Briyani, Just Like How My Grandma Makes It <3 The mutton briyani here is absolutely fantastic. The meat is fork tender and simply melts in your mouth. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get the bone in mutton, which comes with the bone marrow. Definitely makes your day! Now let’s talk about the rice. It’s fluffy, fragrant and packed with flavour. You don’t need to douse the rice with gravy to make it tasty. The rice is a dish on its own. Now you’re probably thinking, what’s that in the curry? It’s TETELAN of course!!!! Beef fat that has been rendered and melts in your mouth. Absolutely Divine. Don’t be shy and ask the Makcik for it! Finally, the achar. There’s the cucumber and sour plum. Please get both! Just trust me. It brings the dish to another levels and cuts through the richness of the meal. And of course, the Makcik serves it with a smile <3 So if you are ever thinking of eating, please call the Makcik in advance to avoid disappointment. And cancel all your plans for the day cause this meal is an event; a near religious one. I LOVE YOU MAKCIK! This is Aqil ❤️

Mutton Biryani This is the one stall I visited the most to find it closed. At least five times. I almost believed it's folded, so imagine my surprise this time. It's really quite divine, with the signature mutton not only fragrant and gamey, it came bone-in, with marrow, at this low price!
