What we need is Military rule!!

There is this small little place called Military cafe in town. I used to eat there often back in my younger days and the food was astounding. Rikhav and I went back there when we really didnt want to mess with Brittania's food (Amazingly good thought it is). Military is also a parsi run joint with food that used to be up there. And to cut a long story short the food still is up there. We started off with a nice cold Beer (A amazingly severe lack of which cripples Brittania) and then worked our way through some Kheema Ghotala, Dal Gosht accompanied by slices of Pao. I don't know where Military gets it Pao from but I wants it all the time. The Dal Gosht was amazing and the Kheema was competetent. Unfortunately the Bheja was over (At 1.20 in the noon) but then it must have been good to get over so soon. Military also has specials through the working week and does consider Saturday to be the weekend. All this accompanied by a 300 ml bottle of Dukes Lemonade (That is also becoming a rarity- The 300 ml bottle that is) was bliss. And to finish it off there was one of the best Caramel Custards in town.

The Kitchen works

Being forced to watch my food consumption by the diet fanatics at Talwalkars has reduced my writing. I am too weak to write food reviews. Anyway whilst in the midst of a insane bout of travel had a nice quiet meal at The Kitchen in Khan Market. Thats in Delhi for those wondering. Yes that means you Anita. Part of the pleasure was meeting up with good friends as well as the inspired company of Pinky. Yes Trupti you were inspiring as well but you are married. My portion of the meal was a fairly decent Smoked Salmon Salad which had decent amounts of the Smoked Salmon and not just a token presence. Then with visions of being chased by the dieticians I also had the Grilled Snapper which was so so. The Ginger Ale was nice and the Veg Dimsums were quite good. Overall I quite liked the place and the ambience. Service was good by Delhi standards. Incidentally would you believe that we ended up in Big Chill post the meal and all I had was a Strawberry yoghurt. I think I need help

Drive a Stake through this house

To celebrate MG's birthday we ordered in food from a place called Steak House in Bandra. We should have been warned by the fact that the take away menu had precisely 3 or so steaks on it. There was a Lambsteak, Fish steak and the frigging Paneer steak. Granted this was take away but where is the massive side or even a plain decent steak. Anyway having ignored such blatant warning signs we ordered a melange of lamb chops, roast lamb, biryani, mutton masala and surmai tawa. The food was of a uniform standard if the standard aimed for was disappointing. As my friend Sandy put it people just put masala and mutton and call it Malwani. The only thing worthwhile from this entire misadventure was the Low Carb chicken salad (which incidentally came up on the bill Low Crab chicken and caused some confusion) and the Garlic Bread. And considering a average price of 200 bucks per dish it was by no means cheap. Incidentally a couple of reviews inform me that Steak is available in the restaurent but no clarity of why not on the menu.
