Vegetarian restaurant Podi & Poriyal specialises in belly-warming South Indian cuisine.
Podi & Poriyal, a vegetarian restaurant in Serangoon Road specialising in South Indian cuisine, emanates a certain warmth. Not the oppressive swirl of heat that rises from the road outside, but the kind that makes you want to close your eyes and sink into its embrace.
I cannot get enough of the citrusy, orange-inflected seasoning that transforms the idli from a simple savoury delight into something infinitely more interesting.I save the last bit of space in my stomach for the recently introduced double-decker parotta , picturing a hulking mass of carbs, and am relieved when it turns out to be a flat slab wrapped in banana leaves.
To be fair, this is not quite the place to visit for your weekend morning grocery run. Gone are the cartons of fresh vegetables and there is only one stall here displaying raw fish – most of it still swimming happily in tanks, in fact – which probably explains how the floor stays so clean. I try some of the other offerings too: steamed scallops enrobed in black bean sauce, Australian lobster slathered in salted egg and spicy Nonya-style la la clams . Tasty, to be sure, though not as outstanding as the fish head steamboat.
