August 1, 2008 I happened to have a Schezuan fish head steam boat at North Bridge Rd. and right near the restaurant, to my surprise, I found out that the legendary Famous Islamic Restauant -established 1921, famous for it's nasi briyani, has been demolished. And yet again, what's da matter with these people -destroying historical restaurant with no mercy! (Iam sure they had reasons but as you could see from my photos, the decor was just too charming...) Last year, I was fortunate enough to go to this restaurant and I was truly dazzled by its decor and its heritage (inside is like a museum). I've always wanted to go to this restaurant, famous for nasi briyani and also it was a historical restaurant which spread this delightful nasi briyani (top photo) and North Indian cuisine. I have ordered mutton nasi briyani -came with aromatic briyani rice, dalcha (mutton & lentil curry), acar pickles and tomato-cucumber salad. Nasi Briyani is a one meal dish where the rice is infused with spices like cardamom, bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon, saffron, rose water, mint leaves, yogurt and mutton in one single pot. またしても、歴史的なレストランが崩壊だ。創業1921年、ナシブリヤニをシンガポールに広めた歴史的なジャラン・サルタン(Jalan Sultan)エリアにある、老舗レストラン(フェイマス・イスラミック・レストラン North Bridge Rd.）が今回の旅行で無くなっていた。昨年、初めて訪れた時、ナシブリヤニの味に感激したと同時に、歴史を感じさせるレトロな内装に鳥肌がたった。味のあるお店は10年ー20年では出来ないだろう。経営的な問題かは定かではないが、誠に残念で悲しいかぎりだ。そのユニークな店内を写真に撮っておいて正解だった。今後は、こういった歴史のあるレストランの内装やフードセンターの写真は絶対に残しておこう。
