S'PORE HERITAGE: BEST OF BIRYANI WITH ZUHAIRI IDRIS

My Foodie Friend Chef SR Bala is no stranger to chapati as one of Singapore's most decorated Indian chefs and a Mentor-Chef on TV cooking competition King of Culinary. So it was with a small amount of trepidation that I took him to try my favourite stall in Geylang Serai. At Muhabbat Setia Hati, they do very simple menu – just chapati and accompanying curries - dal, mutton kima, mixed vegetables (sayur campur) & kari lembu (beef curry). But Chef Bala is all for comfort food – simple, yet tasty. And that’s how he described the food at – it’s like eating a home-cooked meal, with all the love and hard work poured into it, just like mum or dad would.
