Like alot of people, i too once in a while get cravings for certain foods. Or rather, like everyone else. Bryani and indian food is one of them. I'm not the greatest expert (or any kind of expert) on food origins and terms so let the pictures do the talking. Unfortunately i only took the side dishes not the bryani ahahhaha....
Al-ameen serves up a helluva lot of stuff... from western, naan, pratas, roasted meats, seafood... you name it. That's on top of the bryani, indian tze char, drinks and desserts (a menu within itself) and more... a place blogged to death so to speak.
Would like to just share my menu.. ahem. For under $20, we had this
Green gooey looking stuff (I'm a bad photographer) which is actually spinach with indian cheese. It is heavenly. The sauce which is mostly blended spinach is fragrant and is 1/2 sauce 1/2 vegetable. There are still parts where the spinach isn't completely blended up, giving the dish more texture. Indian cheese, the other completing element of this dish was great! Not one of those overpowering cheeses, it had a slightly chewy texture and went really well with the spinach. If i felt this dish could be improved, it would be to not overly blend the spinach and have less cheese. There was ALOT of cheese. No complaints about measly portions here.
$7
Looking alot like it's cousin up there comes the butter chicken. I can't honestly say i've eaten alot to compare this with some other place but hey, the sauce is well, buttery and comforting, not too heavy to take on it's own (or w/ a lil bryani) and the chicken Relatively tender and plentiful, not much to complain and i deem value for money. Always order this when i go there.
$7
They have an assortment of bryanis as well, chicken, plain and mutton i forget what else if any. The mutton ($5) if i recall correctly serves a HUGE chunk of mutton hidden in the bowl of bryani. The bryani itself is... ...honestly flavourful enough but not the best i've had. Still it ranked good enough to be comforting. None of that look-like-bryani-but-taste-like-fried-rice stuff. The only thing is the mutton though plentiful doesn't really make the cut. Relatively dry and bland, it's better stick to the plain bryani ($3) and ordering side dishes.
Oh the bryanis are relatively large in portion and can be shared between one large male (me) and one small appetite lady (O).
Totalling $17, that leaves $3 for drinks. They have all the milo dinosaurs godzillas and what not drinks as well as teh tarik ($0.90) which i enjoy theirs very much and even sugar cane ($2.50) which is somewhat a ripoff i feel.
To sign things off, a stall from Amoy food centre. Decent queues but Piao Ji!?!?!
It means literally in chinese : To visit prostitutes.
Lol.
