Gulab Jamun

This international restaurant chain was founded by brothers Kedarnath Aggarwal and Satyanarayan Aggarwal in 1905 in Chandni Chowk, Delhi, North India, India. They opened in Singapore in March 2009, and are well regarded for their wide range of traditional Indian confectioneries, sweets, and South Indian vegetarian dishes.
.
They offer 2 versions here, a black and a red. The former is deep-fried slightly longer than the latter, hence, the difference in visual appearance. The former has a slightly firmer texture, while the latter has a softer texture, both being moist soft spongy within.
.
Immersed in a flavoured syrup, the dessert is infused with grainy floral earthy spice sweet flavour. Served hot, this has to be eaten carefully until it cools a little.

The perfect spherical milk solid doughnuts hint towards machine-formed, though the soft spongy texture is spot-on.
.
The hot golden flavoured syrup, along with pistachio nut bits, combine for deep floral nutty sweet flavour.
.
I like to slowly immerse each piece so that it absorbs the lovely syrup.

Generously sized, the large milk solid doughnuts can't quite fit within the serving glass, fluffy and pillowy soft in texture.
.
Absorbs the thick flavoured syrup, with each bite releasing perfumed aroma and bright floral spice sweet earthy flavour.
.
Bits of shaved pistachio complete, lending a nutty note.

Their version can be served with or without ice cream.
.
The spongy soft milk solid doughnuts are immersed in a hot thick rose water and cardamom flavoured syrup.
.
Picks up the floral earthy sweet spice flavour, yum. Adding ice cream serves to highlight the contrast of tastes and temperatures.

Larger than other renditions, the doughnuts are soft, spongy, squishy, absorbing the thick flavoured syrup.
.
Sprinkled with crunchy pistachio shavings, this is best savoured slowly.

A salutation to the spirit of the city (and also the name of a film), this resilient gastropub serves a good rendition of the beloved dessert.
.
With a soft spongy chew that bursts with hot flavoured syrup, this entices with lovely floral earthy sweet spice flavour.
.
Holds the shape well, though without the garnish of nuts.
