Singapore Zam Zam vs Islamic Restaurant for Nasi Briyani

After I published my review on Islamic Restaurant on Facebook, a Facebook user commented that Islamic Restaurant is overrated. He suggested that I try out Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant and Bismillah Biryani Restaurant. 

So here I am at Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant, to see if their briyani is indeed better than Islamic Restaurant’s. 

Singapore Zam Zam - Interior

Established in 1908, Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant is one of the many halal restaurants along North Bridge Road. Judging from how packed the restaurant was, Singapore Zam Zam is definitely one of the most popular restaurant in the area. 

If you can’t find a seat in the ground shop of Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant, there are more seats on the second level. There is air-conditioning  upstairs, keeping you cool as you tuck into the delicacies.

Singapore Zam Zam - Mutton Briyani

I am here specifically for their briyani. The Mutton Briyani [S$6] reminds me of Allaudin’s Briyani. The basmati rice is well-cooked but not as fluffy as Islamic Restaurant’s. The mutton is tender and aromatic.

Comparing Islamic Restaurant and Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant when it comes to briyani, Islamic Restaurant wins hands-down. The mutton is about the same in both restaurants. It all boils down to the basmati rice. I never knew basmati rice can be so soft and fluffy and I had the best basmati rice at Islamic Restaurant.

Which restaurant do you think serves better briyani, Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant or Islamic Restaurant? Let me what you think in the comments below!

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
