What a sensory overload it has been for my tastebuds over the last few days. A well-travelled colleague of mine recommended that next time I eat Indian food, I try a Thali. This is apparantly a traditional Indian meal consisting of a number of small vegetarian courses… so I thought OK, and on Friday evening I ordered one (along with a Chicken Rogan Josh in case it was proper minging), but it turned out to be proper not minging and I’d definitly order it again. We had a mushroom curry, spicy chick peas, vegetable curry and lots of other bits and bobs.
Then on Saturday my parents came to visit and I took them to the Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Cardiff Bay.. plenty of vegetarian options but I had a chili burger.. mmmmm. It was too bloomin’ cold at the bay so we came home pretty quick afterwards.
Today I’m sitting here feeling very stuffed after a visit to a little pub called The Laleston Inn.. three courses.. starter was average, main was superb (massive fancy chicken kiev type thing) and the dessert was worthy of an award. It was a chocolate spong casing filled with dark chocolate truffle and a layer of white chocolate mousse on top all covered in some chocolate and caramel sauce. I can forgive them for putting fruit on the plate as the portion was a massive wedge measuring about 4 inches high.
Oh yes, and my mom brought a tin of home made tiffin with her. Only one piece left now. And the mother-in-law made her toffee and fudge… that’ll be tea tonight sorted then.
