My Dear Void, yesterday was the celebration of my fathers birthday (and mine aswell) and after enjoying amazing musical theatre, Mary Poppins, with my sister all of my family went out for dinner.
Last year we all gathered into an italian pizzeria La Dolce Vita. I really recommend it if you want to have an authentic taste of Italy. Because the owners there are actually italian and they dont stroll around the place in their suits overlooking the action, they get their hands dirty, in this case floury. But enough about last year.
This year we looked towards The Orient. We went to the place called Asian Chef. They serve all kind of asian food, I think, because in their extensive menu, they had indian food, chinese food and even thai food. And they have chefs from India and Nepal, so they really know what they are doing. (I dont want to think about chicken biryani I once ate at a place called Taj Mahal. I guess thats the reason they went out of business).
I already knew what I wanted before we went there because I had checked their website and their menus. I wanted lamb spinach from the indian part of the menu. The rest of my family ended up ordering chinese food because my mom and sis and grandma, they are little afraid of the spices and like that sweet and sour thing. And my dad ordered something with 3 peppers behind it in the menu (here they indicate the spicyness of the dish by putting little chillipepper pictures behind the dishes name) and he wanted to have something really fiery. BUT my lamb ended up having more oomph than his chicken. And since I tried all of their dishes aswell (since they all came in little bowls that you can share with everybody) I realized how different the chinese and indian flavour profiles are in comparison. I definately like indian spice palette better. And my lamb spinach was loooooooooovely!!!!
It was truly a wonderful day. The real winter has arrived. And Im glad that I will have snow on my real birthday coming on next wednesday.
