Just wanted something special on a special day.
Yogurt seems a must drink to go with curry. I found this yogurt base Mango Lassi in the menu matches my choice.
The light orange colour gave a cheerful start for the meal. The fresh mango drink mingled with yogurt aroused appetite. I found the ice were in a slightly long dough shape--so interesting.
I tried my favourite Samosa first. There were 3 in a dish. The crust was very very crispy and hot. The cone-shape was kept well lining on the white plate. That showed they were made to order. They were fully filled with potatos and peas. Crispy outside, soft and hot inside. Yummy Yummy Yummy!!!
They went with a green dipping and sided with carrot strings. Nice colour combination and eye catching presentation. The dipping was only slightly spicy.
Here came the soup, the Mushroom Soup -- an oridinary name with distint taste. It was sweet at the first sip - so unexpected!! Bravely, I tried the second sip. Wow! I did not feel it so sweet this time. The strong mushroom flavour emerged. I liked it so much that I cleaned the bowl and....I forgot to take a photo of it, Ha...Ha!
The Fish Tikka, I liked it to be boneless, Ha, Ha!
It was sizzling hot on a hot plate when served. They were not alone. Large fish chunks sat on the onion and cabbage pieces, topped with carrot slices.
The onion slices, though raw, yet succulent, sweet and crispy -- so refreshing!
The fish chunks were barbecued, marinated in spices. They were tender but not dried.
The Prawn Masala was cooked in masala sauce. It was more spicy than the other dishes. Again not plain in colour with dashes of parsley.
The prawns were large and chewy (爽口彈牙). They were shelled already but with the shell tails on which made them looked pretty. I did not expect such a Chinese way of presentation in an Indian dish. Nice!
The sauce was also good to go with more plain naan or rice.
Oh, how could I forget the Black Truffle Naan. I have never come across naan with truffle.
The truffle sauce elevated the naan to the next level. The truffle sauce was aromatic. The dark dots of truffle made the Naan extraordinary. The texture of the naan itself was fluffy and fulfilling.
Every story should have a sweet ending. (drum row ) Actually very curious about the taste of an Indian ice cream -- Kulfi.
The menu says it was flavoured with almond and saffron. Saffron? Such precious ingredient in an ice cream of $40? The texture was a bit harder than the ordinary ice cream when served, yet not thick as compared with Turkish ice cream Dondurma. An appearance of an icicle in white and red ( I chose to believe it to be saffron ). I did not taste the almond flavour but rather coconut flavour instead with grainy ingredients. I asked the waitress whether the grains were coconut but she said no.
题外话/补充资料:
The food in the restaurant were not highly priced. The presentation and colour combinations were thoughtful.
I can feel that they have reduced the spicy and hot flavour of all food to suit the locals.
The restaurant is small yet gives a cosy feeling. The waiter and waitress are very polite but not in a far-fetched manner.
The menu is bilingual in both English and Chinse. I hope they can improve the translation so that both languages tally each other better and in a more attractive tone.

Fish Curry ($78) + Black Truffle Naan ($28) 咖哩配上Naan是必點之選,到印度餐廳,咖哩便可以顯得出其功夫。這個咖哩除了不太辣之外,而用料都十分充足。當中不像快餐廳吃的咖哩,有薯草在內,十分正宗。而魚肉十分鮮滑,咬在口中便溶掉,亦將咖哩的精華吸收,配上不太油膩的Naan,十分相襯。
