Food Review – Ruz Aladdin

Who is a fan of biryani? Hands up!! I am not really a big fan of biryani I admit that. In fact, before knowing myBoo I never had biryani in my life. Simply bcoz I do not like it. Knowing him, I change my perspective and slowly I took the Indian cuisine to my food regime. Did biryani really is Indian cuisine? As I can see that, many Malays claimed biryani is rooted from Malay legacy. Anyhow, we are One Malaysia. As people say, sharing is caring. From my research, biryani originally came from Middle East to India then to Malay Archipelago. Cooked from basmathi rice, this fragrant and flavourful rice is a main dish in most ceremony besides nasi minyak.

Recently we (myBoo and me) decide to try on one of the famous biryani restaurant located in Ampang, Ruz Aladdin. The restaurant is besides Flamingo Hotel and accessible through MRR2 and Jalan Ampang. They also have one more branch in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), where indeed we prefer to go lately due to the less traffic jam, no hassle to find parking and the ambient (for me ya..) more comfortable.

We ordered Beriani Ayam Merah, Beriani Ayam Goreng and Soto. The biryani rice was flavourful, u can taste the herbs cooked with the rice. The biryani set comes with dalca gravy, acar (cucumber pickles), curry and papadom. Portion here is big, please come with empty stomach, u will never regret. As for the Soto, there is nothing to shout about. For me, it could be much better. Somehow, I can taste turmeric in my Soto. What did turmeric do in Soto soup? I have no ideas.

  Do try their Lychee Kang and Sirap Bandung Johor. Both were refreshing in hot day. The Lychee Kang is generous with the condiments while the Sirap Bandung has mixtures of ice cream soda. Its remind me of Soda Gembira we often had in Warong Ayam Penyet.

Overall, we are happy with the services, food quality and price of this restaurant. Nevertheless, Ruz Aladdin now is in our regular restaurant to visit. Thumbs up from us!
