Tandoori Chicken @ Indian - Grace Point Food Court



For the uninitiated Tandoori Chicken is chicken that's been marinated in yoghurt and spices preferably overnight then skewered and cooked in a tandoor. There are many different recipes for tandoori chicken ranging from mild to hot depending on the spice mixture. For me the tandoor oven is integral to this dish, grilled chicken doesn't quite seal in the moisture of the meat or give the same charred smoky taste. This is probably due to the fact that skewered meat in a tandoor cooks from the inside as well as the outside because the metal skewer is placed within the burning coals also the oven cooks at a very high temperature, around 400℃.
The Indian Counter at Grace Point serves great tasting Tandoori Chicken. My pick tonight was the Tandoori Chicken Cheese Naan Set which comprises of Tandoori Chicken, Cheese Naan and a small bowl of Curry Sauce. The naan can be a bit hit and miss here and tonight it was just ok. The chicken always tastes great but it's luck of the draw which piece you get. Tonight mine was a bit stingy, not too much meat on it, but the Little Nibbler had a lovely plump, meaty piece, I tried to swap but got caught in the act!!! The curry sauce was nice and spicy, great for dipping your naan into.



Tandoori Chicken Rice Set for the Little Nibbler.
This came as the name suggests with a regular portion of nasi putih, a small side of potato curry and as above a small bowl of curry sauce. Check out the plump piece of chicken!


The Indian counter at Grace Point has two menu's, one 'Spice Delight Indian Cuisine' and the other 'Anjappar Indian Food' so I'm not really sure if there's two different vendors serving from this counter. A mystery that maybe somebody could solve for me?


View towards the Beverage counter and some of the other food vendors. Have to say I'm not very impressed with the drinks here, they don't taste so good and are more expensive than a well made drink in a coffee shop.
Grace Point Food Court is a bright, clean and popular place with lots of different food available and now with even more choice as the extension has started to fill up. As far as I'm aware some of the vendors are open during the day but all are open in the evening.
