Al-Ameen Eating House

Feeling quite hungry for supper so went to Al-Ameen to try their prata. The menu was simply huge with different variants of the same drink with different prices The prata was not as nice as expected as it was warm instead of crispy piping hot. The teh tarik was quite diluted unfortunately. I also tried the milo dinosaur and it was nothing exceptional (how do you go wrong with milo?)

SGD 2(Supper)

this is my 2nd favorite supper place in Bukit Timah apart from Al Azhar.
The setting is very similar to all the other coffeeshops in the area: very noisy, always full of activity and huge. The servers are always running around and if you're not used to eating in such a place, you might want to try somewhere more quiet. But I always love coming to this place to create a din with my pals!
Anyway, my favorite dish here is the mutton nasi briyani. Tender mutton, and wonderfully tasty rice. Another one of my favorite dishes is the butter chicken, which is extremely thick and creamy. I am actually salivating as I'm typing this. This goes very well with the excellent naan served at this place.
I always top off my extremely sinful supper with a good dose of milo Godzilla, which is basically just good old iced milo topped with tons and tons of milo powder and probably other very sinful sugary stuff. In short, if you want to eat here, you'd better prepare to run a mini marathon the next day to burn off all the excess calories.

So yesterday for Dinner I went to Al-Ameen Makan house with My Aunt and Cousin. We ordered Ox Tail Soup, gobi manchurian, Nasi Goreng Kampung and Bush(Nasi Goreng with spicy chicken,egg and Sambal Belchan). Ox Tail Soup -It's not really made of Ox Tail. It's just meat. the soup was sour-ish and spicy and they serve it very HOT. the meat was cook perfectly. It was my first time trying the soup and I LOVE IT! It was really Delicious. Gobi Manchurian is deep-fried cauliflower, later cook in different spices. It's North indian dish. The dish looks really red because of the red colouring they add. But this is a bit spicy. The cauliflower is really crunchy! It tastes Awesome. This dish is a MUST TRY!Nasi Goreng Kampung is Stir-fried rice with chicken serve with crackers and sambal belchan. The dish isn't that spicy unless you eat it with the sambal. The rice was cook perfectly. I wonder why they name this dish "Bush". it's Nasi Goreng dish as well but serve with Spicy chicken and vegetable with egg and sambal belchan. This is a spicy dish. The chicken was very tender and soft. The rice was very tasty. It like a combo!

Most of the Rice dish they serve always comes with an Egg and Sambal Belchan. I always go to Al-Ameen Makan house to eat with my family and cousins all the time. This place is very popular. It's usually packed at night. They serve a lot more other food!!! The total amount we spent was $30. If the food tastes good, I wouldn't mind spending money! DO TRY IT OUT!

This is a wonderful eating place, although there is a lesser crowd here now as the place is undergoing an MRT construction the food quality is still good
I ordered a $8 packet of special mee goreng for dinner to share with my husband. The portion was huge and the noodles was yummy-licious.
It was sweet, spicy and oily with a nice chunk of mutton in it. I enjoyed it thoroughly and we even had some leftover for the next day, so if use around the area, don't forget to drop by and try.

Went to Ameen eating house for a late dinner with parents and this time we decided to try something different so we got the pothina prata.Hmmmm,interesting taste I would say. For those of you who didn't know, pothina is mint. OH and the prata tasted nothing like prata..It was actually pothina on naan -.- Good try but don't think i'll try it again.LOL.

i always thought naan is a very common indian dish but apparently it isnt, so ameen is one of the few places whereby i can get to eat naan instead of the normal prata. i think plain and garlic naan are the best among the choices they have and especially garlic naan because it is very tasty with the garlic.
compared to prata, naan goes better with masala and those thicker gravey dishes. and i felt that vegetarian masala taste better with naan than those meaty masala

SGD 10(Dinner)

first time try the pataya maggi with beef. perhaps i am not really into pataya so i found it just average and i think pataya goes better with chicken or seafood than beef. I also ordered the chili prawn to try since the staff recommended it but it was still too spicy for us though the nice staff said he prepared less spicy for me. but i think is still quite a nice dish and relatively generous serving of prawns

SGD 12(Lunch)

So after a movie, all of us were hungry. We headed to Al-Ameen. The place I go regularly with my cousins. The food was from Ok to how come the food suddenly taste very good. Hahaha We ordered Roti John Black Pepper, Cheese Fries, Nasi Goreng Pattaya, chinese style stir-fried rice with hot & spicy chicken and Kway Teo goreng with cockles. I should say the service became very good. The food was served to asked quickly as well. And when we call them to ask something they are quick as well. The business there is very good. Especially at night. You will be able to see a lot students, foreigners and local people. They also have home-delivery. I would really recommend you all to try out this place.

When we were looking through the menu me and my cousins actually laughed because we came across dishes named after bush and obama.We decided to give obama a try and it came with yellow rice,egg and beef in some sauce. I liked how the egg was prepared..the egg yolk was soggy and spilled out when I cut the egg(YUMYUMYUM), The beef was really tender and good too!!

my friend was telling me there is a very nice prata shop in bukit timah so went down to try and it turned out to be ameen. as usual i eat my pataya and this time i choose with beef filling. i think pataya still goes better with chicken or seafood. my friend also ordered some omelette with crabmeat to share. i think it was not very nice and i could hardly taste any crab meat

SGD 5(Lunch)

i really felt like eating something spicy. so my cousin and i head to al-ameen for dinner. I had nasi goreng kampong and my cousin had mee hailam. the nasi goreng kampong was really spicy as it comes with sambal belachan , egg and keropok (Cracker). I really enjoy my food. the mee hailam is a bit blend as it's not really spicy but it come with vegetables. small pieces of chicken. but you can eat it with the green chilli which is soaked in vinegar and salt....

Al-Ameen Eating House serves really good cheese fries and prata! I absolutely love their cheese fries! Nicely fried but not too hard. The cheese is very good too! Very thick and goes so well with the cheese. There is also a generous portion of cheese and mayo unlike some other places where the chese is not enough for all the fries.

my friend came and pick me up for supper to al-ameen. i did not want to eat their roti prata as it was kind of heaty and i was feeling quite hungry so i opted for their fried mee goreng. one thing i like about their mee goreng is the taste. it somehow taste different from the malay mee goreng. the colour is somewhat different too, this one the noodles are on the reddish side while the normal mee goreng is yellow in colour. i like it that their mee goreng is not too oily as well!

I’ve been coming to Al-Ameen for many years, partially due to its location (its near to where I live) and partially due to the food. Normally I wouldn’t have thosai and naan for dinner, but at Al Ameen’s, you can. Their portions are GIGANTIC, so do share with somebody. And unlike some other Indian places, Al-Ameen serves a generous saucer of curry as well. This time round we also ordered the murtabak which 3 of us girls had trouble trying to finish!
The only thing to note about Al-Ameen is it is very hot there, and very noisy. Its only good for a meal with a couple of frens, anymore and you’ll find yourself having to shout. And do not wear long sleeved/jackets/leggings/long pants. You will end up sweating over your meal no matter how many milo dinosaurs you order.

i went for some tea with a couple of good friends. they were craving for some prata and delicious indian food so i suggested here. i was not too hungry, so i just ordered their teh tarik. their teh tarik is simply heavenly, we milky and foamy. the tea is very smooth, it does not have any after taste. really good, kept me warm in the cold and rainy afternoon.
