Shami Banana Leaf Delights - The Food Mall (Closed)

Northpoint Food Court has undergone a revamped and now the food court is run by Kopitiam.

This time there was only 3 person at the stall, not a queue.

As I was really hungry after class, I decided to pop by at Shami a little after lunch time to get a take away. I opted for the vegetarian biryani - which to my knowledge is one of the best a foodcourt can offer. This would definitely costs much more at restaurants.

A stall that I patronise every now and then due to its generous portions of nasi briyani and great tasting sides and mutton! I really think their mutton deserves some recognition, and it is fairly tender, and they pour quite a lot of gravy as well For a price of $6, I think it is reasonable, in fact, you can even share it with a friend I think they have many sides to choose from as well, and they are yummy too!
