Although new trends are popping up everywhere, sometimes it’s good to return to the roots and go back to the traditional styles of cooking. South Indian restaurant Paradise Biryani offers authentic Indian cuisine, including briyani cooked in bamboo, which isn’t commonly found here in Singapore.

Bamboo cooking is one of the most common old-school methods of cooking used in Southeast Asia, and bamboo briyani has been said to originate from traditional Indian tribal cuisine. The unique dish contains long-grained rice cooked with spices and herbs, as well as a protein, for a fragrant and flavourful end product.

There are four bamboo briyani options to choose from at Paradise Biryani. Get their Bamboo Mutton Biryani ($15.90) or Bamboo Beef Biryani ($15.90) if you’re a big fan of lamb or beef. Otherwise, there’s also Bamboo Chicken Biryani ($13.90) for a milder taste. For those who love seafood, you can try their Bamboo Prawn Biryani ($15.90).
