I tried paper masala dosai & poori, I had worst acidity that night. Better get canned water & don’t go with the water they serve, it is not clean.

Parata is good when it is made fresh. don’t try parata after 6pm, they are all precooked before noon & ready to reheat, so better ask them you need fresh paratas.

Ahhh! You got me craving for Indian food again!

Actually I have been to Sri Kamala Vilas twice already. Check out my review. The chicken masala left me with a deep impression!

But out of these Indian eateries (listed above), my favorite place for thosai is still Sri Vijaya! View all comments by Veron

Also forgot to add, the coffee at Sri Vijaya is really good too. Ask for the Nescafe,not the Bru (an Indian brand.I find it too bitter).I’m a tea drinker,but ar Sri V,I always have the coffee.

And on Tuesdays and Fridays lunchtime ,Sri Vijaya does a really good Vegetarian Biryani.They don’t have a menu,so u just gotta ask for it.Comes with papadums and a sweet dessert pudding called payasam View all comments by Ketan

Hi,

Just a note.If you like thosai,the best i’ve had is at Kamala Vilas.(Please note that this restaurant is different from the more famous Komala Vilas. It’s directly behind Tekka Market ,where the POSB ATMs are.Near the Little India MRT. Try the Rawa Onion Thosai.Or if you want the stuffing,the Rawa Onion Masala Thosai. My personal favourite is the Ghee Rawa Onion,where the ghee gives it a nice buttery fragrance.No frills food,just like Sri Vijaya,and pricing is similar. View all comments by Ketan

Thank you very the recommendation. I tried the masala paper thosai this evening for dinner. I like the crispy texture of the thosai and the gravy was good. View all comments by py

Jayson: Yup, Turkuaz is a nice place in Holland Village. The lady boss pays a great deal of attention to the design of her restaurant and presentation of the food. It won “Best Design” in my list of Best (& Worst) Restaurants in Singapore for 2006. Thanks for your recommendation!

Daphne Maia: Hey babe, thanks for the haiku and your recommendation too! (Haha why are y’all talking about Turkish cuisine out of the blue?) By the way, I think it would sound better if “naan” was used as the last word in the second line!

Speaking of puri or poori, my friend and I just had it yesterday evening! View all comments by Veron

I will deliver the haiku whenever i got the inspiration …
now, dont have the good vibe feeling yet …
need to gather more “chi”.

by the way, the Turkuaz article you posted - the restaurant do take great pride in their layout and presentation yeah? Should be quite expensive right?

If you want cheap, simple, good Turkish food.
Try Deliturk at Suntec City, Sky Garden.
I had great experience there … View all comments by Jayson

Jayson: My Turkish ex-boss introduced me to Turkish cuisine before. Not exactly my cup of tea. Check out my one and only review of a Turkish restaurant here: Turkuaz

Indian food are nice. The spice, the curries and all.

Yup! You have to try it to know it! The potato masala sure had a lot of oomph!

But right now I’m really craving for that teh tarik though. (One of the) best I’ve ever had. View all comments by Veron

py: Hey, even if you don’t find this place, you might stumble upon a different Indian eatery. Then we can all hear about it!

Since you are so excited about Indian food, let me recommend you another Indian restaurant.

And I promise you the food is completly different that what you have tried before as Indian food. This is food from Mumbai (Bombay).
