The outside of the restaurant.
Last night I revisited one of my favorite spots in Singapore, Arab Street. This area of Singapore has become one of my ultimate places to visit on a Friday, Saturday or even a weekend night! I think a lot of expats in Singapore can agree that though 'perfect', Singapore gives this manufactured type of unrealistic, disney- like environment. However, on Arab Streett here is a certain authentic vibe that you get from the lovely Hookah smoked filled streets and people clamoring about for late night treats. I also think the reason I am drawn to it is that, it is the closest reminiscent of the East Village in New York City.
The food on Arab Street has a mix of Mediterranean, Malay, Arab and of course Turkish cuisine. I had a taste of AlaTurka, which is fast becoming my favorite Turkish spot in Singpoare. Which if you think about it is actually not that hard considering the lack of Turkish food in Singapore. But nonetheless the place here is great.
My friends and I managed to have almost everything on the menu. (Sadly I couldn't post everything up as everyone said I was bothering them with my food porn photos.) One of my favourites was the beef stew on top of a bed of mashed potatoes. Living in Singapore you'd be surprise how difficult it is to find a good plate of mashed potatoes and beef stew! Creamy and flavorful.
Something I have never tried in Turkish cuisine is the pizza. Which surprisingly was quite delicious. The dough tasted pretty much like naan bread you have in Indian food.
