North Indian Food, Singapore Expo

The picture you see here is the North Indian Food called Mutton Vindaloo found at Singapore Expo.

With the coming Deepavali celebration, why not try a change of palate with food that originates from North India. Actually, the restaurant name is Dawaat Tandoori Restaurant, where Dawaat carries the meaning of "invitation to feast" in Pakistani. So is it really food from Pakistan which lies north of India? Whatever the restaurant name or its geographical origins, the food served here is definitely North Indian in style and taste.

I sampled this Mutton Vindaloo which was made of thick tomato paste with chunks of mutton, potatoes and North Indian herbs. It had a creamy sweet taste with just the right tinge of sourness.

The mutton chunks was cooked until the meat was soft, tender to the bite without the overpowering flavour of mutton. Most mutton vindaloos that I've eaten at other North Indian restaurants either tasted too strong of mutton smell or were a tad harder to chew. This was different and Dawaat's North Indian cooking style was closer to my liking.

A pity though that this North Indian-style food serving of mutton vindaloo came in a smaller portion than I had expected for the price of $12 before a 10% service charge. My charge slip did not reveal any GST on my invoice of this North Indian restaurant.
