Baked Cheese Naan.

Murg Tariwala

Chicken cooked in onions and tomatoes in a home style cooked gravy. I must admit that I am a fan of spicy food. . . needless to elaborate, I love it. mama mia!

Meen Pollichathu

The highlight of this promotion include the Banana leaf wrapped fish, cooked with indian spices. It gives you a very aromatic coconut milk flavor, very tangy and creamy.

Kairiwali bhindi

Young okra stirr fried with onion, chiffonade of raw mango in a robust onion tomato masala. Robust, oh did I just mention robust? Yes! You're able to dig lots and lots of vegetables all in one pot!

 

Kerala Beef Fry

Stirred fry beef in curry leaves and coconut gravy. Similar to our Malay cuisine - rendang, but slightly 'wetter' and without a thick layer of palm oil floating on top!

Murgh Makhani and Murgh Malai Kebab

Tandoori roasted chicken tikka cooked in tomato curry with kasoori methi masala. Masala, masala, masala, nothing will go wrong with masala...chicken, beef, fish, seafood, vegetables... you name it.

Kale Moti Ki Briyani.

Gosht Briyani

Casserole of finest basmati rice cooked with tender lamb and aromatic Indian spices. Not a carb lover, but the long-grained fragrant basmati rice worth the calories. . . The rice was so richly flavored with ghee and butter, in the chomping process you get to bite big chunk of meat as well...

A variety of condiments...

Dal Khandahari

24 hours cooked, whole black lentils, gently simmered with, tomatoes and kashmiri red chili, finish with butter and cream. Apparently, North Indian cuisine do not emphasize on the spiciness of the food, but the rich and creamy texture. Most of the dish cannot be prepared without coconut milk, and Dal Khandahari was not excluded.

Malabar Prawn Curry.

These king prawns are gently simmered in red chilli, tamarind and tomato gravy, and finished with coconut milk. If curry is not your preference, opt for the Tandoori Tulsi Jhinga where the king prawns are marinated in yoghurt, roast garlic and cooked in clay oven. A lil bit sourish and sweet, I kept coming back for more...;P

Tandoori Tulsi Jhinga/ baked skewers of pounded lamb( seekh kebab)

The grilled prawns is a must try! The king prawns are sooooo succulent and fresh. *highly recommended*

Two types of dhal

Khadai

Stir fried cottage cheese with onions, sweet pepper, tomatoes and coriander seed and garnished with fresh coriander.

 

Fans of Indian cuisine can enjoy Tandoori chicken, lamb, prawn with naan and other North Indian specialties. Sushi, sashimi and authentic Japanese dishes are also available, together with chinese dim sum baskets and fragrant stir-fries, while authentic barbecue seafood can be found at the Malay open kitchen.

 

 

 

Pounded lamb with beet root.

Sausages , chicken and lamb.

I love the 'char' flavors that it gives. It's super carcinogetic, but I would say it's fantastic.

Strawberry cream cheesecake

Mosaic features a vibrant mix of local and international cuisine, complemented with interactive live cooking station including grill, wok, noodle and tandoor, plus a LARGEEEEE dessert bar. *raised eyebrow*
After a protein packed dinner, I was looking forward to savor all the desserts! The traditional Indian desserts among which include the Mango Phirnee, a chilled basmati rice flour pudding flavored with mango and topped with pistachio flakes, and Gajrela, grated carrots slow cooked in recuded cream milk.

Chocolate desserts

The dessert bar offers an array of sweet delights to make me go weak in the knees over all the desserts.

Very divine chocolate desserts...

Blueberry muffins!

LOOK.AT.THE.RED BEANS...

oh, the desserts, I would love to sum up all to the word ' super gratifying and heavenly ' . No complaints at all. It was so so so good. I was contented to sample each and each serving of the petite desserts are just perfectly nice and sufficient to satisfy my sweet tooth. It's so inviting.... not just to the palate, but to the eye ... All desserts are equally delectable. Trust me... ;)

Look how greedy I was... to take each sample of the desserts and take a bite of it. I was literally on cloud nine!

 

 

Besides savoring the Indian Cuisine, Mosaic also boasts an elegant interior reflecting the Peranakan culrure with elaborate finishings. Vibrant customized flooring, intricate hanging pewter lights, bespoke mosaic walls and columns complete with cleverly located live cooking stations make up for a truely interactive dining experience.

This decadent restaurant is an exercise in opulence. You can easily judge by your naked eyes as you can see, hundreds of pewter lights hanging on the ceiling to create a luxurious atmosphere with an urban edge.

In a nutshell, don't miss out Chef Rahul's Indian Cuisine as this Indian delights only last for 10 days!
