Honestly, after all the haute cuisine and sandwiches, we needed fiery Asian spices in our food.
We strolled down the lanes at Soho and picked The Delhi Brasserie for dinner.
We're in London! Of course we've gotta eat Indian food at least once. It would be so good here.
There was papadum and garlic naan. I only wanted the saag paneer and pilau rice. There was one requisite meat dish for the man and also dhaal. The man admitted that the dhaal was, anyday, better than his. Such arrogance! This dhaal was way authentic! Of course it'd be 5 times better!
However, dinner was £19 per pax inclusive of lassi, sparkling water and tax. It'd have been cheaper if we had printed out the discount coupon from its website. Still, the price was normal by London standards. If you make the mistake of converting pounds into Singapore dollars, then our meal would be kinda pricey. For the same quality, a meal per pax average at Raj is S$25 and Vintage India is S$90. So there we go- pricing is always relative to good food.

as long as it's not extortionately pricey, I'm one who don't really mind paying a little more for good food.
My favourite is dish to order in a restaurant like this one would be Palak Paneer!! Have you tried this dish before? Cottage cheese spinach thingy... oh so good!
jomel: palek paneer is my fav thing! at this place, they didn't have palek paneer. it's just saag paneer.
£19!!!! EEks!! May I point to you some of the fine dining establishments along Serangoon Road...
eveline: yah lah. i haven't told u chinese food is at least £26 for huge plates of char siew, roast duck and choi sum. but they are so good. so HK style coz owners r from there.
NICE!! I'm now hankering for naan with curry!
I didnt mind paying big bucks for good food as well. Heart the feeling when we discovered it's worth the bucks we spent.
Don't convert when you're abroad when it comes to food - it's better for your peace of mind.
celcilia: true!
dawn: so we've learnt. haha.
