SZICHUAN -PRAWN IN GARLIC SAUCE

well , I enjoyed it. Maybe you folks are too highbrow for me.

I went to Indian Flavour and had the non-vegetarian combo.

Steamed rice, lamb curry, beef curry, cauliflower in yogurt sauce, eggplant bhartha, and naan. Sweet tamarind sauce and raita on the side.

sounds like an old jazz song. I forget the title.

curries are good, I like the ones that were almost hocolated beef cubes that were just covered with orange and hot hot hot. Karala Province stuff
Are you hosting gautam?

listening with interest (we have only one indian restaurant her in northnorth, and I'll never return to it.) There are, or were, some really good ones in LA).

I still save the menu The Prince posted from the place he arranged for a2kers to meet in London....
will be back when I find a link.

Chinese food is not so wonderful here either. Sigh.

I love Indian also. I like the curries that have heavy cardamon and less cumin , I like em hot but a little on the sweet and "dessert spice" side. So yu can load up the coriander and cardamon and even cinnamon , but HOLD THE CUMIN

Here's the menu from the Bombay Palace, took me a while to find it...

I met Gautam tonight.

We ended up at Zizi Trattoria, a really great place in its own right. It was meant to be a drinks stop before we went back to the Mt. Everest (Nepalese resto), but the waiters at Zizi were too cute to leave behind

Great food at Zizi. I've celebrated a birthday or two there.

Glad you met the Prince...

so, what did you order at Zizi...

I had some fabulous bruschetta to which hot pepper flakes had been added as a result of Gautam asking for hot pepper flakes on the bruschetta topped pizza he'd been considering.

I ordered a small platter (ha! it was huge and I finished a third of it) of antipasto - roasted eggplant, bocconcini (amazing - fresh), sundried tomatoes and marinated mushrooms.

What did The Princely one order? A veggie thin crust pizza that seemed to make him very very happy. It was beautiful pizza. With hot chilis baked in.

mmmmmmmmm.

ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhh

what is bocconcini and does one grow it or milk it?

god I miss cav in stuff like this

----------------------------
sorry

That restaurant needs a "downhome" name like
ZiZi Taupe
or
Chez What (there is one of that name in Chicago)

Cav and recipes were definitely on the discussion menu last night.

Bocconcini are miniature (about the size of one of my thumb pads - not as big as Setanta's thumb pads), very fresh, mozzarellas. Kicky's addicted to them.
