Al-Ameen, Woodlands

Helo! I'm bored at home and today, I shall do a small promoting for Al-Ameen at Woodlands.


The 2 creatures flanking me are Gelojoh and Perakus. Both can vcauum a big plate of food in less than 15 mins.

Al-Ameen should be one of my favourite hawker dining places.( Another is the new Mr. Teh Tarik at Jurong, but this will be on another day, another story. Hehe). For one, the service is efficient most of the time. But most importantly, I think the food is worth the money.

Oh there are many branches, by the way. But I always frequent the ones at Bukit Timah, and Woodlands, near Woodgrove Mall.

First up, my most favourite prata:
Banana Prata



The shiny-shiny liquid which looks like oil is not oil, but maple syrup.
YES! You must eat banana prata with maple syrup to feel the oopmh.
I'm a big fan of maple syrup and bananas so this, to me, is a sweet delight.
Eventhough I do have sweet tooth, I don't think this is the sweet-til-you get-headache kind coz the doughy taste of prata balances the sweetness well.

It's especially nice if the bananas are sweet and are cut into soft chunks. So when you eat them with the prata, it's just like banana pancakes: Chewy and sweeeet and simply sioso!


The Gelojoh was craving for Western, so she ordered
Sambal Chicken Set.



The plate is twice the size of your face, and on top of fries, beans, and salad, you get rice somemore. So the Gelojoh was very happy.

The gravy on the chicken is mixed with cheese, that's why you get that yellowish streaks on the meat. But it's tangy and really delicious, although the meat is a bit too tough.
The rice is something like briyani but lighter. I don't exactly know what it is, but it has an Indian taste to it. Still, it complements the meat really well.

So where is the sambal? It's actually given in a small separate cup (like the one for the chilli sauce). The sambal has all the right blend of sweet, sour and spicy.

Very good for very hungry people.

The Perakus' order is next:
Chicken Cutlet Set



Very generous serving. The cutlet is humongous. Only the Perakus can finish this and still ask to taste other people's food..
The gravy is almost similar to the gravy for the Sambal Chicken. Only this one is more thicker.
And I like the cheese in the gravy. Made this supposedly ordinary dish somewhat different from the usual.

Murtabak Pizza
is another one of the satisfying foods you can order.



In it, are exactly the ingredients you may find on a basic pizza: cheese, capsicums, mushrooms, little meatballs and tomatoes.
But because the 'crust' is prata, it makes this 'pizza' extra chewy and doughy. And I find it really goooooood.

The parents ordered those mix-n-match food.



And since they licked every plate clean without once complaining, I guess it must be delicious.


A hungry man is an angry man.
So a full man is a...? Happy man!...
Well done, kids!
