Ameen Makan House

Dinner before class, back when I studied nearby.
.
The fillets of boneless king fish are larger than most, tender moist flaky in texture, satisfying with smoky meaty sweet savoury spice flavour.
.
Luscious mint chutney on the side, bright with vegetal herbal sweet flavour, to pair.

The gravy is thick and chunky, with pleasant mild vegetal sweet spice savoury flavours from the blend of pureed tomatoes, tender sliced red onions, and whole dried red chili.
.
The boneless cream dory fish fillets are flaky soft and moist, picking up the tasty notes from the gravy.
.
Chunks of crisp juicy bell peppers / capsicum lend a nice vegetal bitter herbal sweet contrast.

Cost: 7++

One of my go-to foods when I feel famished when in NUS.
The butter chicken is ridiculously filling for its appearance. When added to naan, I find myself struggling to finish.

Grade: A

Meaty, juicy, and smoky, their rendition is succulent and satisfying.
.
The large tandoor roasted boneless chicken chunks have robust meaty savoury sweet spice flavour, yum.
.
Good enough on its own, even without the mint dipping sauce on the side.

Rolled with whole wheat flour, then baked on a skillet.
.
While texture of the chapati is slightly fimer than elsewhere, flavour is delicately grainy savoury sweet.
.
Being thin, it's meant to be used for scooping up ingredients (instead of absorbing curries).

The blend of tomato puree, butter, yoghurt, and spices, create a rich and luscious smooth feel to the thick curry gravy. Addictively delicious with enticing milky sweet savoury spice notes.
.
The generous boneless marinated chicken chunks have a gentle tender chew, picking up the flavours of the delicious gravy, yum.
.
Great when paired with bread or rice.
