Curry Garden @ The Grandstand

Recently I have been going to The Grandstand and I always noticed a crowd at the Indian restaurant, Curry Garden. In one of my recent visit, I decided to check it out since the restaurant always has a constant flow of customers. Actually I was quite lost in what to order so I just went to the set menu section and ordered from there.

Mango Lassi 4/5

While waiting for my meal, I ordered a Mango Lassi to start with. Lassi is a traditional yogurt based drink originating from India. The mango lassi blended with yogurt, water and mango pulp was cooling, soothing and perfect compliment for the spicy food.

Garlic Naan Chicken Set 3.8/5

The Garlic Naan Chicken Set ($7.50) comes with 2 pieces of garlic naan cut into 4 pieces, curry and with a choice of butter chicken or chicken tikka. I went for the chicken tikka but I order another serving of mutton masala. I can't resist ordering the mutton masala after noticing the next table having it. The chicken tikka was too dry to go with the naan, mutton masala is better option. I also did not like the curry as it was served cold.

Batura Set Chicken 3.8/5

My partner ordered the Batura Chicken Set ($6) with butter chicken. We did not know what is a batura and we were surprised to see the huge puffed bread made from maida flour when it was served. We are also surprised that the butter chicken did not have gravy, we thought they have served us chicken tikka instead.

I noticed quite a few patrons ordered their curry fish head, I should try to have them in my next visit. The naan is pretty good too but I will prefer the mutton masala to the chicken tikka or butter chicken.

Fosters Steakhouse @ Holland Village

Located at the corner of the stretch of shop houses facing the main road at Holland Village is this ode charm classic English Steakhouse, Fosters Steakhouse since 1960. Fosters Steakhouse was first established at 25 Amber Mansion of old Orchard. Moving another 2 times to Specialists Shopping Centre and Palais Renaissance before settling down at the current venue.

Upon settling down, warm breads were served. After browsing through the menu, my partner and I decided to go for the lunch set menu which comes with a choice of soup, mains, a dessert of the day and coffee or tea at $17.90++

Mushroom Soup 3.5/5 and Onion Soup 4/5

Both the Mushroom Soup and Onion Soup were comforting and homely. Compared the two, I would preferred the Onion Soup which is more flavourful with the sweetness of the caramelised onion.

Fillet Steak 4/5

There were 5 choices for main. I had the Fillet Steak which was grilled tenderloin served with chestnut sauce. The chestnut sauce sounds interesting but I was not really noticeable. The fillet inself was tender and juicy. It was beautifully cooked.

Combo Grill 3.8/5

Similar plating of mash potatoes, french beans and carrot was used for the Combo Grill. The platter of beef steak, chicken and salmon fillet served with mushroom sauce was value for money. While the beef and chicken were tender and succulent, the salmon was a bit over cooked and dry.

Coffee 

The lunch set menu comes with a choice of Coffee or Tea. We are both coffee drinker so inevitable our choice is not quite difficult.

Apple Strudel with Vanilla Ice Cream 3/5

The dessert of the day was Apple Strudel with Vanilla Ice Cream. A simple sweet ending for lunch.

While dining at the restaurant, I noticed there were many awards and write ups being framed and hanged on the walls. It seems like Fosters Steakhouse is quite renowned for serving quality and delish steak and great rendition of the English classics. While the lunch set is value for money, I look forward to try their ala carte menu in my next wish.
