Friday nite..... I had quite some number of party invites... my head was throbbing and i gave a miss to all and went straight to bed as early as 7 pm....
7 . 38 pm.... ting tingdi ting ... ting tingdi ting.....
One my colleagues is on the phone....
Hello BS... its my daughter's birthday and i am giving a little treat at Hotel Nafees.. Please Join us....
and i hear a distinct sound in the background, "Didi... wr is my gift... i want pink bangles"... Oksss i got the point.....
I dressed up and went scouting for pink bangles in vain... i didn't even know the kids wrist size... i compensated getting a really big pale yellow teddy and a bouquet of pink roses.... By the time i reached all had ordered soup and were waiting for me.... the Kid was showered with all the gifts and she stood to cut the cake... okss usual formalities no bling there....
But the seating arrangement was the highlight of the day.... all were seated either with their closest friends or "just Friends" and me being the only single ( Yet!!!) i was seated beside a really old friend whose main aim seemed to be eating every pabulum he could reach for.... Not bad.... i would be saved from the embarrassment of infinite time i take to decide on what to eat..
After having the so soft melt in mouth apple Pastry, i ordered for chicken clear soup, as i just cant digest any-other stew in the name of soup.... Ultra Flop- It should have been named turbid soup as it was far from being clear and i just couldn't bite into the chicken stocks... :( i tried the chicken consomme of my dear friend, which was much better....
Then we ordered a plethora of starters... Vegetable Manchurian and the Hara kebab was a real treat to the taste buds... fish fingers tasted like it was a week old.... chilli chicken was OK types.... my dear friend ordered Tangri Kebab for me..... No wonder the eat out specialized in mughalai cooking.... the rite stuffing of chicken mince meat into the rightly crisp Chicken thigh... mmmmmhh.... i stopped myself from licking the fingers.... i relished the white sauce, rather than the fish fry, that came along with it.... Chicken lollipop won the title of best Appetizer
For the main course we ordered Romali roti and Lamb bone stew(Goat’s Trotters Curry / Paya)..... i was feeling the seating arrangement was to my benefit, and it was confirmed now...... The combination was awesome.... hotness was right both in temperature and spices....
The Chicken biriyani stood up to the hype created by my friends... the onions were just crunchy as i like, rite spice, ritely boiled rice and juicy chicken... i was drooling over at even the boiled egg that came along...
Had a lemon soda.... wrong choice..these ppl just don't even have slightest hint what a sweet lemon soda mean...
Then rounded it all with the double scoop of Litchi Ice-cream and a double scoop of Choco-Almond Fudge...
Humpty - dumpty... sat on the table..
Humpty - dumpty... had a great meal..
All the King's Chef and all the King's Cook...
Couldn't put Humpty together again...... BURPppppp...
