[Foodie] Raj @ Syed Alwi Road

Hey Readers!!!

I have blogged about Chinese, Japanese, Western... cusines, but never Indian food. Therefore, for the first time ever, this post is about this Indian eatery... Raj! To be honest, I'm never a fan of Indian food because of the spices they used. But today an Indian acquaintance brought me to this place for lunch.


I didn't know what's nice to eat here except for their Naan, so I leave it up to that acquaintance to decide... Here are the pictures of the food that were chosen :-

Salted Lassi (S$4)

Garlic Naan (S$3.20)
Naan flavoured with garlic and herbs

Daal Butter Fry (S$7.50)
Lentils simmered and cooked over a slow fire, with traditional spices, garnished with a hint of butter

Baingan Korma (S$8.50)
Brinjals cooked and served in a korma based curry of coconut milk, spices and masala

Bhindi Jaipuri (S$8.50)
Ladies fingers fried in a white gravy, served Jaipuri style

Overall Verdict?
- Service: Quite ok
- Food: First of all, I thought that the 'Salted Lassi' is far too salty for me and it tasted like curry (I think it's due to the spices), but i heard it's a cooling drink. The 'Garlic Naan' is not bad! I like the crispy texture to it. However, I didn't quite like the 'Daal Butter Fry' simply because I don't really eat beans. This Daal is made of yellow bean. It seemed in India, people eat this with bread. I did enjoy the 'Baingan Korma' and the 'Bhindi Jaipuri', even though I felt that they are a little spicy.
- Haha... from my understanding, this place is a popular place to dine in. So if you love spicy food, why not try this place? ^^
