Kalavaraa @ North Canal Road, Singapore.

I had Hock Lam beef noodles the other day and walked past this restaurant. A Keralan restaurant and knowing how spicy Keralan food were, their briyani piqued me.

I had a cup of chai while waiting to tapau the briyani. Went for the Kalavaraa mutton briyani and boy are they not shy with the portions. I had half for lunch and the other half for next day dinner. This is a very good mutton briyani and yeap it was spicy. Luckily there's raita to sooth a bit of the spices. The mutton was soft and almost like peel off from the meat.

Nasi Beriani Ayaq Asam Utara Sinar Dulang @ Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

First time trying a briyani with air asam. It's a bit different but it works quite freaking good actually. They got this big ass pots up front, choose your protein of chicken, beef or mutton.

Ain't that a beaut, ayaq asam!!! I couldn't decide which meat so I hit beef and mutton. Yup it's a huge portion. Taste wise, superb. I whacked the whole plate clean.

Bala's Banana Leaf @ Bangsar, KL, Malaysia.

Came here for a banana leaf rice and ended up trying the briyani instead. Lo and behold, what a sight for my lunch. Portions were good, taste wise even freaking better. Good stuff, definitely food coma after this. 

We also ordered a portion each of tenggiri and sotong, just to try it out. Yup both were equally good, I reckon the banana leaf rice should be good, will try it the next time.

Hyderabad Dum Briyani @ MY81 Restaurant Brickfields @ KL, Malaysia.

Came here after reading it online on malaymail. They have quite a few items for lunch spread. But I'm here for the dum briyani.

The chai is priced at rm1 per glass, I reckon I had 3, lol. Now the mutton dum briyani, it looks plain right, but have a bite. It's good stuff, perfect. 

We also ordered some dishes to share to try, quite good. I can't really say whether it taste authentic Hydrebad briyani (never been), but I can say this is a good briyani.

Om Pot Biryani (Mannpaanai) @ Brickfields, KL, Malaysia.

If you want something good, you have to wait for it to be cooked. Best is to call in advance and make your order. Now this briyani is worth the wait, trust me.

My ice lemon tea was served in an earthen pot. Below is the claypot briyani freshly cooked and poured onto the banana leaf.

I ordered the mutton and my friend had the chicken. One of the best briyani I tasted, flavours were all nicely infused. Pair it with the spicy curry, yup this is one legit meal. Both the mutton and chicken were tender and smooth. My advice skip breakfast, indulge yourself to this hearty lunch and be prepared for food coma through out the whole afternoon in office. Amazing!

Simple but yet a satisfying briyani. After all this years, the food still taste good. Wash it down with a glass of mango juice, simply lovely.

Bismillah Briyani @ Dunlop Street, Singapore

This place has eluded me so far, and when a friend of mine called to have lunch here, i just can't turn him down. Die die must try see what the fuss is about.

They serve either chicken or mutton briyani, decided to try the mutton. Decent amount of mutton packed inside the rice, and yes that's a hard boil egg. I have to say, the briyani is good, but i have one complain here, no dhalca or curry or gravy. They did put up a sign in the shop stating they don't serve any gravy. Guess must be other customers like me who like their briyani to be flooded with gravy, aha. All in all good briyani.
