Jaggi's Northern Indian Cuisine, Race Course Road, Singapore

Was originally going for Southern Indian, but got this tip from a labmate.

Superb down-to-earth Punjabi cooking.

Tandoori roasted chicken marinated in yogurt and spices was tender, moist and flavourful. Bitter melon curry was mildly bitter at most, and maximally delicious. The ordinary dish of aloo gobi had beautiful caramelized potato flavour. Honest lamb kebabs. Silky spinach in the saag paneer. Well rounded chilli chicken.

Excellently textured chappati. Warm aromatic garlic naan. Decent basmati rice, dotted with peas and silvers of caramelized shallots.

A carefully sweetened halwa (sp?), dotted with coarsely chopped cashews.

Pleasant finish of rich marsala tea.

Order the food at the counter and bring it to a table of choice. Dirt cheap - food for 3 for S$30.

Looking for some good restaurant suggestions one can access by public transportation from the cruise ship terminal in Singapore, maybe away from the downtown? Sorry, did not like the aggressive touting on the Boat Cay. This Indian sounds great and what food courts are worth seeking out? Thanks.

The cruise terminal at the World Trade Centre is right next door to Vivocity, a large mall with a good foodcourt, The Food Republic, on its top floor. You can find fried Hokkien noodles, Indian parathas/thosais, Punggol nasi lemak, Pu Tien Henghua food, etc.

Or you can take the underground train from Harbourfront MRT station (linked to Vivocity/World Trade Centre) to Chinatown (near to People's Park Food Centre), Dhoby Ghaut (where you can access Plaza Singapura, which has a nice food court on the 4th floor), or Little India (where you can walk 3 minutes to Jaggi's).

Thanks, missed Little India on last trip through and will put it top on the list this time.

What do you know about the ferry that goes to a nearby Indonesian island and what restaurants we might find there, and what might be available that one would not find in Singapore itself.

Thanks, again. We have two overnights in Singapore on the ship so it will be time to go a little further afield than just a day stop.

Sorry, I've not been to Batam Island myself, but folks usually go there for cheap seafoods (i.e. priced at half to a third of what you'd expect to pay in Singapore): steamed prawns, mussels & other shellfish. If you've been to Jakarta/Surabaya/Bali, I don't think there's anything on Batam which you'd look for.
