Healthy Persian Executive Set Lunch @ Shabestan, Singapore
One of the finest restaurants in Singapore, Shabestan, has a healthy executive set lunch that should appeal to health and fitness aficionados.
Made with Persian ingredients such as Zaaferan (Saffron), Golpar (Angelica), Zardchoobeh (Turmeric), Limoo Amani (Dried Lime), Somaq (Sumac), Darchin (Cinnamon),Nana (Persian Mint), and Narenj (Orange), the executive set lunch delivers authenticity while ensuring you will still be energized after the meal.
Diners get to choose from a vegetarian mezza, a kebab or stew main and a dessert of the day.
Kash-E-Bademjan
Mixture of sauteed eggplant, onion, mint, and Shabestan’s secret dressing.
The bread, a naan, was delicious. My idea of vegetarian dishes is that they are not filling but this mezza, made from eggplant, was quite filling.
Beef Pasand Kebab (+$10)
Beef fillet marinated in golden saffron, Persian herbs & olive oil
The beef was so tender and it didn’t feel heavy at all. It felt light and healthy. The basmati rice was absolutely delicious. The simple salad was a great balance to the “light” beef.
Dessert of the day (Saffron Ice Cream)
Creamy, not too big a portion. Just the right amount of sweet something for that indefinable final satisfaction.
The best part of this executive set lunch is that you can pay an additional $40++ for a 2 hour free flow of house wines, prosecco, spirits and beers, and Shabestan indeed has a huge house pour menu including organic wine.
