El Sheikh at Pahang Street

I should have done this before the one on Amirah’s Grill after I went there with some very wonderful people: nadnut, jean, rinaz, dk, chillycraps, malique and his wifey and musxzart on 26th July. However, I also didn’t take any photos then to make a proper post.

I must first thank rinaz for introducing us to this wonderful place, situated in the Kampong Glam area, right next to Amirah’s Grill along Pahang Street. To reach the place you can either take a bus to Beach road and drop off opposite The Concourse, or take the MRT’s East-West line to either Lavender or Bugis MRT station and take a short walk over.

I quote from Rinaz blog: The cafe already looks charming from the outside with the rustic two story shophouse where it was housed. Inside, it looked very cosy and rather condusive with its homely arabic styled decor all around.

The above is true. But as to the service, I think it is a little lacking. I recalled that when I was there for the first time I had to call them to bring the cutlery for late-comers, and on the second occasion when I was there I wasn’t even attended to after a few minutes (but that might be because the staff were having their dinner.)

The food is great. Adding to the fact that I am damned hungry, I swallowed my own order pretty as quickly as possible. Even so, I could taste it’s nice and I really want to go and try out the food again. Since I am not very good at describing how good the food is, I’ll let the pictures do the talking. You can check out some of the pictures taken by Rinaz when she was there some time ago before our outing.

All in all, I think the food is value for money and the portion is generous. Do visit when you can, and I believe most people will enjoy the wonderful food they offer.

The first few photos were given to me by dk, and the rest I took on my own when I revisited the place again on 21st Aug with xinyun mei.
