Gokul

it has been awhile since i last wrote a food review... last time i wrote like tonnes on openrice due to the rewards but kind of died down for quite awhile due to my busy schedule.... but went down to this pretty nice restaurant last week so i guess should let more people know about this wonderful place.... 

GOKUL, there are two outlets and i went to the one at 19 Upper Dickson.... is actually intro by my friend cause he went down with his girlfriend before & suggested we go down to try together.... although i have stayed in SG for almost 15yrs, i have never stepped into little india before.... not being racist here but just that i dont venture into other communities cause most of the time i go to a place is to shop, at least window shop & i cant find what i like in that area.... so random talk aside... my nice friend drove me & bf there... the roads there are kind of messy & lots of vehicles around so just be careful when walking around
the restaurant

the restaurant is pretty cozy... look like those family business style... clean place.... toilet is clean too which is something i really appreciate... the food actually look like any other indian restaurant that you can find BUT is vegetarian... those mock meat looks damn real!!! can take a look at some of the pic i took of the menu



so after looking at the menu, we just let our friend recommend us some of the nice dishes that he tried.... & another nice thing about this restaurant is that they serve free flow of parpadum... i dont know how to spell... but is the cracker thing.... pic reference below
parpadum or whatever way to spell it
really LOVE it... i always love this cracker!!! & free flow of this is like HEAVEN!!!! YEAH!!! so ya... other than that we ordered several dishes to share....
indian rojak
 is my first time trying indian rojak... my bf quite like to it but then i always get turn off by the super heavily coloured food so i never gotten to tried it...but this is the vegetarian version so i guess isnt the same as what you find at normal coffee shop.. i like the beancurd slices but other stuff are just average for me... my bf love the sauce, he say very nice... but personally i prefer chinese rojak
sherlak paneer or something
 this thing is very nice but sinful... is like nacho cheese sauce with feta.... can imagine the amount of fat content inside.... the sauce is very creamy, cheesy so i LOVE it.... but of cause just eating the sauce isnt that nice... is best when eat with naan....
plain naan
they served quite a variety of naan but my favourite is still the plain naan.... it goes so well with the cheesy thing we ordered... super nice.... last time i quite like prata... but when i know about the existence of naan about 2yrs ago... bye bye prata... naan has taken over your place.... it is also healthier than prata since it is baked... really nice.... we also ordered two curry puff but i forgotten to take pic of them.... the potato 1 is really nice... the crust tasted so buttery.... sardine 1 was ok but remember... is mock sardine but it tasted & looked like real sardine... amazing.... so we ordered all these stuff to share for 3 pax & is actually quite filling
masala coffee
to end off the meal, we tried the masala coffee... i was really curious about it since masala is like for food, never knew that it can be for drink.... verdict: is actually quite nice... it doesnt have a very strong coffee taste & the masala spice smelt like cinnamon... it actually reminded me of the himalayan tea that mcdonald had couple of months ago... i guess is good for a non-coffee drinker like myself
1 more amazing thing about the restaurant is this while husk like stuff... it was at the cashier... i actually saw it at other indian restaurants before but never knew its usage... so we asked the cashier & she said is something like a mouth fresher.... WOAH!!! we learn something new!!!
