A Trip down Lil India

I don't quite remember how we bonded during FTB camp but boy! are Ade and Benny one of my best buds in Uni.  A few months back, we three headed down to Lil India to feast on some Indian fare. We were all bored of the normal restaurants/ eateries/ cafe/ fast food joint and decided to try something new.

Yes, we seemed spontaneous alright but both Benny and myself did a teeny weeny bit of googling on our way to Lil India, I came across ieatishootipost and he was saying the Naan at Al Musafir was pretty good so I gladly brought my friends there (or rather I googled, Adeline directed and Benny led us there).  

Al Musafir is a Indian stall in a shabby looking Indian Kopitiam. In fact, if it wasn't for our trusty google map, we would have easily missed it. I don't know about Benny and Ade but I was kinda skeptical at first; thank God were they ultra enthu that night. 

We were totally clueless and started ordering whatever which sounded good. Mixed veggies seemed like the best choice for a veggie dish, at that moment. I thought the veggies were pretty ok; just typical veggies with some indian spice added to them.

We also had some mutton curry which was rather passable, in my humble non-indian perspective.

What we came for was what we enjoyed: the Naan. I can't really recall whether the flavoured Naan was more expensive; nonetheless, the Naan were all less than $1.50 and the Garlic Naan is superb!

The chicken tikka was pretty awesome too; nicely flavoured and ultra tender.. yums!

So not everything was all lovely and dovey but we did have some kick ass items like the Naan and Chicken Tikka. Most importantly, I had tons of fun with Benny and Ade, can't wait for some more Indian food affair.
