Imran Briyani Empire, Haig Road Food Center, Singapore

It wasn't really my intention to hit another briyani joint so soon but this stall at Haig Road Food Center (Block 14, Haig Road) looked pretty interesting.

They do Burmese briyani here which is a little different from the Indian style. This was served with chopped up potatoes on the side and even a bowl of clear soup.

Even thought the mutton was quite tender, the spices didn't really give me much kick. It wasn't as aromatic or fragrant as Indian briyanis; the flavor here being pretty much just straight-forward salty. Come to think of it, I had Burmese briyani once at Inle but remembered it being better.

Wow... Never tasted briyani as finger licking as this. Full of flavour compare to the Indian briyani around this region. The Indian briyani was nothing compare to this stuff, Indian briyani here, the recipe was change since the fore father of Indian first arrive here. It is to plain and boring compare to the real Northern Indian briyani. Burmese briyani is more comparable to Pakistani briyani.Indian briyani is more commercial these days. Thumbs up to the cook.

Hmmm.........I did tried the biryani a couple of years back, as far as i can remember it tasted as good as it look and has a unique flavour of its own entirely different from the rest. But the funny thing is "Dancing Blue Seal" commented that it had potatoes as a side dish. I wonder how he became a food critic without being able to differentiate between pineapple achar and potatoes. Who ever heard of potatoes achar with Biryani.

I've eaten here before and I have to say that the dancing blue seals tongue is about as sharp as his culinary knowledge. I've searched far and wide in singapore and no biryani shop I've seen has had the same flavour, nowadays people just pour a bunch of chilli into curry hoping it tastes like this. If you want to know he definition of biryani, this shop should be the answer. I was looking for this shop on the internet and all I found was this pathetic misinformation of some wannabe blogger with a dull tongue. I expected maybe some hope of this shop to reappear but sadly it has been lost to the confines of time
