Disclaimer: This isn’t on the regular menu at Lucky House but I can’t not share about it because it’s just too good for words.

Once Chef Sam lifted the lid off the huge pot and dug in with his spoon to give the rice a good stir, the air was filled with an intense fragrance. Although people flock here for his Cantonese cuisine private dining sessions (he’s now booked until September 2019!), it’s obvious he can cook other kinds of cuisine too judging by this Nasi Biryani.
Everyone who’s dined with me will know I am not fond of lamb and he had made this with Australian lamb ribs. Understandably, I was initially reticent to have it when I found out, but after a few spoonfuls, my mind was completely changed. The fact that the extremely tender lamb had no gamey smell was a huge reason but besides that, I found the rice immensely delicious. Every grain was fluffy, light, deeply aromatic and surprisingly spicy. You can bet I was carb-loading like there’s no tomorrow.
