Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant

I usually eat through Indian vegetarian food without knowing in specific how / what they are made of and this time too so this will be as layman as you can get.

This place was recommended by a vegetarian friend and so was a natural choice for a farewell dinner for a close friend who was vegetarian.

The place can be quite hard to find but if its useful, its located opposite Woodlands and in an white-ish sort of low shophouse with an outdoor alfresco area. It was surprisingly empty on a Sunday evening:

Bhatura Set ($5) - this, to quote my friend, looks like an UFO. Its basically deep fried carbs and the huge thing is quite a memorable. Comes with 3 dips.

Chicken Murtabak ($6) - Quite good I must say, although its not real chicken. Firmly packed pockets of dough and its stuffing and not oily too!

Plain Naan ($2) - Nice fluffy warm naan. Nice.

Mysore Masala Dosai ($5.50) - This was supposed to be a spicy thosai and it was when we last came but this time it seemed to be tamed down. The masala was not bad though.

Crispy Cereal Prawn ($7.50) - In my opinion the best of the lot! Super crispy cereal coating what tasted like fishcake to me. Very ncie!

Chicken Sizzler ($11) - Came on a banana leaf on a hotplate. Nice bite sized 'chicken' in some sweet-ish red sauce and with bell peppers.

Vegetable kurma ($7) - I have no idea what this is made of but suspect its some cream / yohurt / coconut sauce which became quite jia lat after a while. It comes as mixed vegetables but we requested for cauliflower only as we quite liked it last time.

Sambal Goreng ($6.50) - Basically bits of tofu, tempeh, and long beans mixed together in a sambal sauce. Too dry for me.

Teh Tarik ($2) - Not good at all.

Masala Tea ($3) - Didnt try but hopefully its better than the above!

Service was not too bad but it can be sporadic once the places starts to be busy. Prices are reasonable too. I would come back again of course but not in the near future.
