My appetite for some authentic Indian food suddenly struck me and Little India Restaurant had been in my bookmark list for quite some time. Finally, my friends and I got the chance to have our lunch here. And our overall impression: "With all the great food at good prices, this restaurant should've been more popular to those craving for Indian spices."
We ordered at least 4 dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala, Srilankan Egg Curry, Roti Canai+Veg Curry and Chicken Biryani along with Chapati, Garlic and Butter Naan. Perhaps you are wary of 'too strong' spices used in the food, yet here in Little India, just put aside your fear there. Instead, I'd say you'll be just wanting for more. Our favorite dish is the Chicken Tikka Masala---tender chicken chunks immersed in nicely spiced sauce. Hmm, how I miss the taste already!
In brief, Little India is a decent Indian restaurant you can try without burning your wallet. Warmly welcomed and served well in our first visit, we will surely return next time---30 or more dishes to go!

Another recommended Japanese restaurant to visit! Though this place looks rather 'cramped', you won't want to miss the food served here, especially its ace food, the mozaru (aka baked rice).
My friend and I ordered two dishes: seafood mozaru (large for two people) and Pasta with Cream Sauce and Bacon & Egg. For the Mozaru, you can choose the sauce and filling (rice or pasta). We chose 'dynamite' (sweet+spicy, though it is not spicy at all) and curry rice.
When I tasted it, it was just perfect. I am not that keen on cheese, but the cheese in the mozaru really melts well with the rice and meat once put in your mouth. The pasta also hit the core. The cream was sweet just at the right level.
One more thing, I always like it when the staff serve with smile as this really raises your apetite.
Coming again for the mozaru? I would say 'YES'.

Constantly crowded is how this restaurant in the skybridge of GI always looks like. If you come in 4 or more people, you'd better come earlier at 11 or so to avoid being put in the waiting list or just make a prior reservation 😉
Regarding the food, the most recommended one is for sure the la mian. Mine is Cha Ciang with Chicken Meat and I am simply in love with it. As to the other food like dimsum, soup or meat, none of them will end up disappointing.
But when it is crowded, service is usually the thing compromised. Don't be surprised if the waiters suddenly take your empty plates away without your consent while you are eating. I myself won't mind this, yet others may be somehow irritated.
What comes up in your mind when you pass along Mangga Besar? Well, most of the time, Chinese food. But I won't talk about any Chinese delicacy now. Here I'd like to share my great culinary experience in a ramen restaurant in Mangga Besar, Orenchi Ramen, a rather small yet cozy place for you to have ramen.
As I opened the menu, my eyes were immediately directed to the ramen section. I ordered Shio-Tonkotsu (Salt base) Ramen (which is the recommended one here) while my friends had Tokyo Ramen. You can choose your type of noodles (thick or normal) and the level of saltiness (3 levels). And overall remark: totally great!
Here is the review of my choice:
The broth > not plain, not too salty; just at the right level
The noodles > a big portion for one person
The pork chasyu > thick and tender unlike some ramen restaurants that really serve 'thin' meat
Along with the ramen, you may want to taste the dessert like Almond Tofu which looks really just ordinary, but not its taste.
Finally, what I can say is that 'fame does not guarantee quality' and Orenchi Ramen is a proof of it. Simply drop by here to prove it yourselves!
