Friday: Of Foodgasms

So, I know I said I'd not post barring anything exciting, but I just had THE BEST Biryani of MY LIFE.
I decided to treat myself (and avoid raiding the other two restos I've hit up twice each already) and went to this little hole-in-the-wall (well, alright, most store not on Union are holes-in-the-wall) Indian place.

First, I should mention that I'd not been planning on having Indian; I'd been looking for a different fish and chip shop, to see if there was anything else I wanted to try - everything but the butties at the other place are made with animal oil (beef, I think) so I couldn't eat them. But, having trolled Union from King (the end of Union on the north end), I meandered a good 15 blocks without seeing anything. Just when I was about to give up and go to the fish shop again, I decided (quite on a lark) to go to the Indian place beside it. I was drooling before I walked in the front door, it smelled that good. So, I ordered take-away (Samosas and Biryani - both veggie) that was more than I'd spent in any two other days (I usually spend under 5 pounds on food per day, whereas here it was 10 just for the one meal). But, OMG, the food was INSANE. The Saffron, the onions, mmmmmm. Foodgasm. Utter, food induced bliss. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of utensils (I know, I'm spoiled in Mtl where every resto sends take away home with plastic cutlery). The upside, the Biryani came in 2 containers: one the rice mix, the second the topping sauce.... they did throw in some salad though... but I'd have loved some naan... I'll have to think about ordering some next time I eat from there, I really will...

Other than that, nothing has happened today... vegged, repacked, read. An ordinary, boring day in the life of moi. At least I didn't burn anything down.... Yet...
