| - Great place for lunch!
I like to come here for lunch sometimes when I can even though I am not an avid fan of curry in general! I like their curries actually, they're not overpowering and have a smooth texture.
The lunch menu is seriously a blessing, it is a great price for the food you're getting as it is prepared fresh and well. I love the Mussaman Curry, it is literally one of the best things I have ever tasted. The beef brisket is tender and the curry is heavenly. It is extremely flavourful, the peanut really comes through and there is sweetness from both the onion and the curry itself. It's fairly mild, not so much a heated or spicy curry but it is insanely delicious. I love potatoes simmered in sauces and this curry comes with potatoes! There's just something about potatoes when they're simmered and soft. I highly recommend this dish if you ever go here, it's really good!
The spring roll and Tom Yum soup you get with the lunch menu orders are okay, I don't like the soup personally but it's not bad. The spring roll is nice, it's crisp and has a good filling.
The skewers are actually okay, they're not super great but not bad. The peanut sauce they come with however is delicious. It's smooth and sweet and it has the consistency of a curry. I would order the skewers just for the sauce, if only this came with orders of rice so I could drizzle this over everything!
The fried banana is a hit consistently! I always order the fried banana! It's a little pricey for what it is, but this fried banana is the best I've had so far! They don't use your ordinary bananas, but the Latundan banana I believe. It's got this nice light sweetness to it that your ordinary banana does not have. The batter is nice, thick, and crisp. Fried to perfection! The banana does not have a lumpy texture after it is fried, but a slightly softness to it. Drizzled with honey and served with mango ice cream, it is a definite order every time. This fried banana is almost unreal.
The interior is nice and clean, a little dark but comfortable. Good food and a little pricey, but the lunch menu is definitely a good deal! I would definitely recommend a lunch here when in the area.
