Rang Mahal (Pan Pacific, 3rd Floor, 6333-1788) is the parent restaurant of Vansh, and apparently is considered one of the best Indian restaurants in Singapore. Tonight, I finally got to try it out.
The meal got started with a bang. Laung ki seekh, which despite its brown cylindrical resemblance to something not worth mentioning, is actually a "minced lamb kebab with fragrant clove smoke," and really got me going with a killer spicy kick (and I'm not referring to the Indian definition of "spicy" with lots of various spices mixed up, but rather the straight heat from chili peppers). Nice. Many other items followed, including rara gosht, saag paneer, and boondi raita, a cucumber-less version of raita with little crumbs of batter instead. I was also very happy to find that their dhal was spicy and rich, reminding me of Bukhara's when they were still in Singapore.
The meal ended with an Indian dessert called gulab jamun, or a fried milk ball sitting in a very sweet syrup (kinda tasting like pancakes). Cool. That was a good meal, even if all the chi-chi plates and swizzles were a bit unnecessary. My colleagues who had just flown in from India verified that the food here was indeed very authentic. I really need to get out to India myself one of these days.

hi, can you recommend a place to go to for the best and affordable pizza in singapore? Thanks
Unfortunately one of the best pizzas I'd had here was from a place that has become too undependable these days. I suppose Spizza is reasonably stable and decent though.
Hey, went to this restaurant called Mustard today. It's along racecourse road. Serves a mix of Punjab (indian/pakistan) and Bengal (bangladesh/west bengal) cuisine, with a strong emphasis on mustard seeds, oil and greens. Lots of kebab dishes here. Had this interesting dish of Mustard greens and maize bread... took a little effort to appreciate but at least it's something diff. The awesome dish i had was their butter chicken, which was the light, while packing a great punch with the spices. Thought u might be interested...
You should try Queen's Tandoor at 11 Unity Street. There is a large varity of Indian and Chinese food. The menu is very vast and unusal. Must try.
Whenever I travel I use www.trekkertime.com. It's awesome
