Devi's Corner x 2@TTDI

Demona: Dogma chose this location for his business/friend appointment cum last local Indian meal before heading back to Merlion Land. I left the food ordering selections to the hungry, sweaty, Indian food craver a.k.a Dogma.



Demona: He walked back from the food display area on our left, with this tiny bowl filled with I-have-no-idea-what.

Demona: Psst.. what's this?
Dogma : Don't know.
Demona: Don't know, and you took it? Didn't ask the waiter?
Dogma : *shook head* Took it because it looked interesting ma.


Thankfully, it did not taste strange or awful. It had a savoury touch, full of spiciness, with finely minced leafy greens giving it the autumn colour. It mostly ended up as a gravy for my thosai.



Demona: Sugar coated hungry man knew how to press Demona's right buttons. Easily conned by good food, and great desserts. He walked towards the food display and came back with a bowl of coarsely chopped brinjal sambal. This dish actually tasted quite nice, with powerful spicy flavours locked in it. This could be better if the oil content was reduced.

With a bit more improvement on the sambal flavour and the dish presentation, this can easily be fooled as one of the expensive brinjal dishes which you find in the upper market restaurants.



Demona: My usual (yawns) egg thosai. The QC consistency is weak in Devi's Corner. The thosai was lousy this time. It wasn't fluffy, with a bland taste. The gravies helped big time.



Demona: The tandoori chicken, was not too bad. You could smell the burnt grilled fragrance, and taste powerful spices and crunchy burnt edges on the meat. The portion was generous for 1 person. Needless to say, Dogma grabbed any bones left on my plate to be further chewed and cleaned, leaving sparkling shiny spotless, Oooopss.. I mean meatless bones.



Demona: The nescafe ice was average. Thankfully, not diabetically sweet.

Verdict: Foodwise.... I think it was slightly above average, but due to its location, I know every now and then I will still make trips back here, for lunch or a yamcha session. Will post on Devi's at TTDI again, once I try any food which I haven't blogged on TGVG yet.
