狮城著名马来饭60年不变
文:谢宋美

能够在新加坡经营马来餐接近六十年的历史,顾客来自各种族,午餐时间大排长龙,巴里阿曼这间不起眼的马来餐馆到底有何过人之处?

早上十一点,陈笃汉先生安排我们到新加坡的第一个午餐就是这间位于桥北路,靠近苏丹回教堂的小餐馆。说它是小餐馆并不带有贬低的意思,餐馆是一间角头战前建筑,店内空间相当狭窄,店前玻璃橱窗摆满食物,桌椅摆到走廊去。陈先生告诉我们:「这里十点开始营业,如果中午才来大排长龙最少须等15分钟,甚至没位子坐。」一点都不夸张,只见顾客从不间断。

十岁开始即随着父亲到这里用餐的陈先生是这里的常客,他向我们推荐:「这里最出名的是烤鸡。」巴里阿曼依然采用咸水木炭火烧烤鸡六十年不变。再淋上味道香醇可口的青咖哩或红咖哩,各有特色。鸡肉软硬适中,咖哩香无法盖掉烤鸡的独特炭香,这种古老香味使人回味无穷,我们给予高评价。

Quality Malay Food At PARIAMAN
By Catherine Chia

Pariaman is a simple eatery in Singapore known for a good taste of Nasi Padang as it has offered the same style of food for the past 60 years.

Mr. Tan Tok Han recommended us coming here for a taste of old-fashioned Malay food. It was around 11a.m when we saw the landmark- the Sultan Mosque. The eatery occupies the front portion of the shop. Glass cupboards here showcase many food products. Tables and chairs spilled into the corridor. They are open from 10a.m daily but lunch crowd can be extremely hard to handle. Mr. Tan told us, a waiting period of 15 minutes for a seat at that busy hour is quite usual.

He has been a strong supporter of this place as he used to tagged along with his father who loved this food. The taste has not changed and the roasted chicken is still cooked over a charcoal fire. A delicious gravy of both green and red curry are combined and drenched on top of the bird. One is whimsically won over by the unique taste. Of the meal itself, one can enjoy a satisfyingly dish in a certain old world charm.
