Azmi Restaurant @ Serangoon Road

I was asking my Pakistan colleague of any nice Indian restaurants at Little India the other day and the following day he brought me to this little old 80's coffeeshop in Little India at the junction of Serangoon Road and Norris Road. I suspect this place should be quite well known when I saw a Caucasian family eating at the coffeeshop. I googled and indeed this place was featured in some of the popular food blogs and travel sites.

I left the ordering to my colleague and I was in for another surprise. I have my first tried on sheep brain! It tasted like a plate of scrambled egg cooked in a lot of Indian spices. The shop's speciality Chapatis were freshly made and  very good eaten with the lamb keema, potatoes and cauliflower, sheep brain and lamb curry.

HappyVeg @ Serangoon NEX

The kiosk located on the 3rd floor of Nex outside NTUC. It sells deep fried fritters that comes in a few varieties such as salmon, prawn, chives and etc. I did not find a lot of vegetables with the fritters although it is named HappyVeg. It is quite oily too. A unhealthy snack but tasty pretty good.

Nanbantei Yakitori Japanese Restaurant @ Far East Plaza

Located on the 5th floor of Far East Plaza is a small Japanese restaurant that serves one of the best Yakitori. I was introduced to the restaurant by a friend a few years back. I usually order one of the bento set that came with 5 different types of Yakitori. Even the rice were served with 3 different toppings (seaweed, mushroom and pork floss). The bento set is really value for money and nice.

This place is usually packed so do make reservation if you have a big group. I usually walk in and sat at the bar counter. I enjoyed sitting at the bar counter as I can see the chefs preparing and grilling the food.

Bento Set 4.5/5
