Imam Banana Leaf Restaurant (Geylang)

This is one of my secret hideouts. I love to hang at Imam for late night suppers, after drinks cooling down and living the good old days of sitting at the back alley.

Imam is actually walking distance from Kallang MRT... approximately 3mins away and is almost always open. Sometimes pretty crowded during weekends. The selection of food there is great as they do have different types of roti prata, or some called it roti canai, fried noodles, rice and briyani, nasi kandar (Mixed veg with rice). These are some of the stuffs we love to have there:

1) Teh Halia (Milk Tea with Ginger) - Its not as yummy as my favourite lau pa sat one, but these milk teas with a frothy top packs a punch. Make sure to drink it while its pipping hot less it becomes more and more spicy as it cools down. This is one of life's exciting food.

2) Bandung (Rose Cordial with milk) - It comes in a giant cup, I guess at least 700ml. Love the way they swirl the milk and the cordial to looks like a latte. It tasted balance, but with all the indian stores, be sure to always ask them to less sweetness.

3) Milo Dinosaur - Is actually a 700ml milo with ice topped with plenty of dried milk powder. I love it... its yummy, extremely chocolatey and nutritious.

4) Roti Prata - Kosong is nice and crispy and love the veg curry that comes with it. Tried the sardine mutabak which was a little spicy but fluffy and with loads of contents. The bomb prata was however quite a disappointment. I expected it to be sweet and fluffy yet it was coated in a thick layer of planta margarine.

5) Mutton Briyani - Is super yummy, good value and mutton curry is soft and well cooked.

Its a nice place to hang with friends however if you want to live the back street style, then watch the flying cockroaches... Its a back alley, so prepare to get acquainted with the residents there!!! Eeekss!!!!
