The family was driving along the highway when we spotted a queue for this banana leaf restaurant. We decided to head there for dinner given its popularity, plus we were craving for something new. Given the queue around 8pm, we were ushered to our seats pretty quickly. It has a pretty humble layout, nothing too fancy, yet clean. After ordering our food, they served our drinks and papatam within a few minutes. http://static1.sg.orstatic.com/UserPhoto/photopending/0/EZ/002YHDAA6B122D37A30E3Ac.jpgTh

I love their beef rendang, we ordered 2 servings, but that was hardly enough. The meat was so soft, its like its been stewed overnight.
For a party of 6, we ordered 5 dishes, and some were hits while others were misses.
The beef rendang is a must-have, and the chicken masala. OMG! So good, because the chicken was so tender and the masala was just the right level of spicyness.

Because not only was the rice soft and fragrant, they were generous with the servings, and ensured that the rice did not taste too stale or hard, even though we were there for dinner. My pet peeve is how sometimes you order briyani and there's just the large chunky bits in the rice because its been left in the pot for too long? This was the opposite case for this one. It was so good, I polished off an entire plate on my own, which was rare, because I hardly eat more than half a serving of rice usually.
