My colleague and I decided to have something different for lunch as we were quite bored with the usual offerings around our office, which is literally in the boondocks (see explanation below).We headed to Haveli Cafe along Kampong Bahru. The cafe was busy and looked very unthreatening. Mostly office people and the nurses sort(thanks to the SGH nearby).
We ordered the North Indian Mutton Briyani $6.00 per serving.
The first thing I noticed about the rice was the colour. It was a rosy pink! I've never had briyani like that before... Anyways, the rice and meat were flavourful. Rice was a way too overcooked for my liking but the meat was tender and had just the right mix of spices. It came with a side curry and a poor excuse for a 'salat'.
Haveli Cafe is at No. 19 Kampong Bahru Road Singapore 169348

Boondocks - 1910s, from Tagalog bundok "mountain." Adopted by occupying American soldiers in the Philippines for "remote and wild place." Reinforced or re-adopted during World War II. Hence, also boondockers "shoes suited for rough terrain" (1953).

Hello! Finally found you. You gave me the name of your blog but didn't say whether you were blogging at Blogger, Wordpress or Typepad. And googling for Benedict says only threw up a whole bunch of papal edicts!
