    Village Briyani CaféPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    Served in a true Indian style, the briyani dish comes with a standard set of dalca curry, raita, whole boiled egg and acar. The spice-infused rice packed a robust punch. Opt for their succulent mutton curry as the main dish, which has a nice falling-off-the-bone tenderness and goes well with the briyani rice.

    Come to think about it, South East Asia is essentially one big rice bowl filled with various different kinds of cuisines with each different serving is a country's very own special twist. India's Nasi Briyani is indeed an odd-looking one because of each grain looking longer than the rest, but still holds the standard of being the staple food even in India, and also being one of the most fragrant rices. The Ketinggi's take on this great rice dish is one that everyone might be familiar with, but also one of the most delicious takes on a revered Indian rice dish with accurate taste, methods, and authenticity.
