To the 7/11 Butter Chicken R&D person/team: Thank You.

To whoever did the R&D for the microwavable butter chicken meal at 7/11, I want to thank you for my bottom of my heart because it is the only thing that brings me comfort on some my hardest days. Like legit this meal has never let me down before. The only time I’m slightly disappointed with the experience is when the plastic peel off is impossible to peel off without using scissors. But that’s a packaging design issue and not your fault. You’re my hero and I want you to know that.

Where can I find Good Biryani (not doused in Curry)?

One with actually flavourful rice. I know Bismillah gets a lot of flak, especially with their association with the Michelin Guide, but their rice is actually nice. Their proteins are rubbish though and the prices are high. Most friends I know recommend Biryani places with the rice not tasty and also drenched in curry. I feel this defeats the purpose of eating a biryani.

"Deluxe" fried rice

$10 from Bao Er @ Balestier Plaza. The "deluxe" versions come with a big piece of fish/chicken. The "normal" versions come at $6.50 with a few pieces of protein.
