For the lunch on 27 Jul 06, we decided to be a little adventurous. After all, it is only 1 MRT stop away from our office. So, why not? We brought our colleague from Indonesia, Esra, as well.
There is a cluster of restaurants lined along Chandler Road. Unable to decide which restaurant we should patronize, we chanced upon actor-turned-banker, JL, through a restaurant's window. Since JL is in there, the restaurant must be good. In we went...
Besides JL and his friends, we were the only non-Indians in the whole restaurant and along the whole street too.
At the entrance, you can choose through the glass display the meat dishes of your choice. Otherwise, once you are seated, a large piece of banana leave will be sprawled in front of you and it will promptly filled with white rice and assorted vegetable dishes, yoghurt salad and pickle. Of course not forgetting, papadam. They are all free flow. Eat all you can! Soon our banana leaves were filled with an array of multi-coloured dishes. Val and I opted for garlic naan. Yummy!
We were coincidentally seated next to JL. We turned to JL and asked if he would highly recommend this restaurant? He said "It's my first time here". *Faint*
Nevertheless, we like the food. Except Esra. He is not accustomed to the taste of Indian food we figured. He finished only his rice, leaving all the other too-exotic-to-his-taste-dishes behind.
At the end of the lunch, we were served dessert. It was bright orange and contains jelly and sago. Weird yet tasty. There is taste of ginger and spices in there.
... the one who would definitely return to Little India for another exciting lunch

Despite the use of spices in Indonesian dishes, you'll be surprised that not many Indonesians like Indian food. I guess the use of some spices are just too strong for them.
How funny. You looked for JL's guidance but apparently it was his first time, too. hahahahha
You are so right! It takes some getting use to I guess. I used to hate the Fish Head Curry ala Singapore style due to the overpowering taste of spices. Now I love it!
