Welcome to Little India.

Michelin Bib Gourmand Briyani, that's located at Dunlop Street, which is in Little India Vicinity.

This briyani is not served with any curry. But like most dum briyani i had, the chicken is coated with dry curry and fried onions. Chicken was tender, but the breast meat part can get rather dry. Rice was fragrant.

This certainly is one of the better briyani place I had.

Interior was a little dark and depressing to be honest.

Kulfi is a traditional Indian "ice cream"

Here at Bismillah, You pop it out of the cup and eat it like ice cream on a stick.

Unlike traditional ice cream, this is harder and denser. Milky and custardy.

First time I'm having Kulfi, this really appeals to my sweet tooth, now I will keep a look out for Kulfi when I visit Any Indian food establishment.

Type: Restaurant/Chinese

Been here several times already and the food is always consistently good. Super tasty too. They also have private rooms upstairs which is great as we love to bring guests or friends here to enjoy the food. Recommend!

My rating: 5/5 ⭐️

Take note: Dim Sum Haus at 57 Jalan Besar will be temporarily closed for renovation from 27th February to 19th March 2023.

One dish that will never go wrong at any dim sum place are their Chee Cheong Fun, and it is no different here at Dim Sum Haus.

The Steam Rice Rolls were silky smooth and the crispy shrimp with the CCF combination just goes so well together. Another must try dish here at Dim Sum Haus.

Dim Sum Haus opens till 5.30am daily, except on Mondays, so this is an excellent late night supper spot.

Food here at Dim Sum Haus is rather affordable as well, and staff here are nice and friendly.

Crispy Shrimp & Mango Roll was one of my favourite dish here at SDS. Sweet and savory in every bite, shrimp was fresh and bouncy. A rather enjoyable eat.

One of my favorite new found cafes got to be Main Street Commissary, for their affordable brunch food and well-executed drinks. Had their smoked salmon Eggs Benedict that hit all the right spots at a great price, and a hot latte which was decently smooth and not too acidic. The cafe has a cozy ambience and free flow water, which makes it a nice place to chill and hang out with friends.

Similar to Indian appams, Hoppers ($5/ plain, $7/ egg) are the ultimate Sri Lankan staple. Made from a fermented batter of rice and coconut milk, their rendition of the thin, bowl-shaped pancakes was really toothsome. I don’t generally like appam as I am not fond of the soft, spongey, tangy, kueh-like center but theirs were incredible! The Egg Hoppers were even better with the savouriness of the yolk.

More of a sweet curry, the Jaffna Duck Curry ($28) had a bold, unique spiced flavour - I believe from the combination of caramelised onions, garlic, ginger, fresh chili, and spice powders cooked in the coconut milk. The heat builds up more slowly for this dish so it got a little too spicy at the end for me. However, the duck confit was absolutely moreish. Fall off the bone tender and juicy, the meat was very well-executed (the skin had a light crisp as well). The hearty curry also went amazingly with the Hoppers.

Perhaps a tad exotic of a lunch choice for my family as we are unfamiliar with Sri Lankan curries but we generally enjoyed the dishes we had at Kotuwa. First up, the Mutton Rolls ($16) served as a great opener. Crunchy, superbly seasoned, and piping hot, the flavourful spiced meat-filled rolls were covered in an even golden brown panko crumb coat. The tinge of heat from the mutton was manageable on a whole and there was also a funky-sweet tamarind ketchup on the side to help. The gaminess was pretty mild too, in my opinion, as the deep-fried snack was more spice-forward.

Bright and sourish, the Malu Baduma ($36) was a favourite at the table. A deep-fried jade perch in a yellow sea of turmeric leaf curry with a small heap of fresh pomelo salad placed in the middle. Like a lighter version of Assam curry that we are familiar with (due to the use of tamarind and mixed herbs), the dish had a refreshing spicy-sour tinge that would go well with a bowl of hot, steaming rice. The fish was flakey fresh and it was fun munching on the crispy fish bones. However, the heat comes a tad more quickly so thankfully the sweet pomelo offered a bit of relief.
