The Tiong Bahru Club Singapura has a strange name for an Indian restaurant but we’re not complaining with food this tasty. We found this place by chance one Friday evening, as Rodney tends to get his hair cut at the barber nearby, and despite Tiong Bahru having a huge selection of brunch and lunch places, there doesn’t seem to be that many dinner options.
Apparently this place was designed as a tribute to old Singapore heritage, so the design of the place is quite quirky. The menu is also a little confusing at first, as you have to choose between either Singaporean / Chinese Tapas or Old Raj / Indian, but you can’t eat from both menus. Because of this reason we’ve only ever chosen the Old Raj / Indian food menu which is based on Northern Indian Cuisine.
It is quite an extensive Indian selection from Tandoori, Curries, Biryani and starters, but we’ve tended to order the same dishes each time we’ve been there. This will include:
- Murgh Makhanwala – spiced chicken in a buttery tomato gravy (aka Butter Chicken)
- Palak Lamb – lamb cubes cooked with pure Indian spinach
- Dal Palak – a yellow lentil dish with spinach and mild spices
- Garlic and Plain Naan
We find that the Dal is a bit too watery for our liking so instead we ordered the new Aloo Gobi (cauliflower and potato dish) which was just delicious.
The drinks menu is also quite extensive with a good range of alcoholic (beer, cider & wine), and non-alcoholic drinks (lassi, chai lattes, single origin and organic tea, coffee and soft drinks) to choose from, and they even have a happy hour promotion until 7pm.
