I'm not sure if I already shared this before but when we were still in Manila, we frequented Assad, a small Indian mini mart that sells a variety of goods. They sell Indian rice, a whole lot of spices and they also sell fresh breads like roti and naan! We love their vegetarian samosas with chutney. And another thing that I liked there was their sweets. As you know, I'm a sucker for sweets. Too bad, they only sell it by weight and minimum is 500 grams. I thought we'd have a hard time finishing the half kilo sweets but it took us less than a week to eat them! :D
So when we were strolling the streets of Serangoon (again) last Saturday, we passed by Komala Vilas' Sweet and Savories shop. I was so happy, I was like jumping for joy! The husband told me to go in and pick what I want. While the shop keeper was answering my questions patiently, in my mind, I was really panicking what to choose. :D Sorry, I wasn't able to take photos of everything in the shop. I was only able to photograph them myself after I have calmed down at home. Hee hee
The first one I tried was the Badhusha. It was soft and flaky, almost like a donut but with more subtle sweetness. The husband and I shared it, finishing it quickly :D

I haven't tried Indian delicacies (I haven't seen any in Manila), but the way you describe it is mouth watering and worth trying. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ethelyn, thanks for dropping by. Madami sa Assad sa may UN :) pero per kilo sa kanila, not per piece. i think they have Gulab Jamun and these milky sweets, too.
DeleteI'm not much into Indian food but I like tandoori and birhani.:-)

DeleteI think I'd be delighted and happy to try this like you did. Anything new and sweet gives me the adventure to try it :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried that delicious burfi ! It's made of condensed milk so it's really delicious !
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about Indian sweets, but I'd love to try them soon.. ^^ I'm sure it'll be pretty interesting especially since my taste buds aren't used to distinct Indian flavors, but I hope I'll like them as well.. :)
