14 Dec 2010: Kobe Sizzler's

I went out tonight with the parents to try out Kobe Sizzler's at Warisan Square where the old Raintree cafe used to be.

It's supposed to be a franchise from India and it branched out to the Middle East before stopping by here.

So we ordered the Mixed Kebab Sizzler with black pepper sauce, Chicken Sizzler with black pepper sauce, Batata Wara (fried potato balls; Jaslyn, this is for you and your mom's that we use to beg and steal off you in primary school), Chicken Pakora (minced [diced? It felt like small diced pieces] chicken pieces fried, the size of an American dollar coin), Puris (deep fried wheat bread), and Channa Masala (chickpea curry).

Chicken Sizzler slathered in soy and black pepper sauce with a piece of cabbage trying to escape...

Mixed Kebab Sizzler also slathered in sauce...and Dad temporarily distracted by a text message while his stomach demands to be filled...

By the way, the sizzler? Really do sizzle. Notice the white mats under the sizzler? It's paper because it's cheaper to throw away then wash numerous amounts of table mats; as my sauce spatter smudged elbows can attest to from contact with the table.

But seriously, the sizzlers aren't terribly fantastic. It's good, a hearty meal but not fantastic.

I do highly recommend the Small Bites menu, though. The Channa Masala curry? DAMN GOOD CURRY!

From top left going clockwise: Damn good Channa Masala curry, Batata Wara (sadly, only 3 pieces with it's cool parsley sauce) and Puris. Chicken Pakora not included since I was starving and so was Mom who had started gobbling up food before I could get a shot in. XD

Overall, we found the sizzler alright (the kebabs were delicious but the chicken...meh...) but it's the food we ordered off the Small Bites Indian menu that rocks! Wonderful tasting curries, lovely hot fried breads, wonderful fried potato balls (JASLYN! I MISS YOUR MOM'S COOKING!)

Conclusion? Skip the sizzlers, order off the Indian menu...the next time we stop by, it's going to be curry and breads all the way. And maybe that shiroo dessert.
