Went to Flying Monkey on Bussorah Street for dinner with V. I've never stepped into it since I keep getting waylaid by pita and mint tea at Beirut Grill a few doors down. I like this area mostly on week day nights. The weekends can get a bit crazy and I'm not keen on shoving shoulders with so many humans.
Tonight was nice. There were big groups having dinner indoors at the restaurant, we got a quiet corner table outside that had an overhead fan going and cooled the area. I very much prefer sitting outdoors nowadays. I'm quite used to heat and humidity. The evenings are never that bad. Hurhurhur.
We didn't dare to order too much food. Went with a rogan josh and a dal makhani. They came with a plain and a garlic naan. More than enough to share. We weren't starving. These really hit a spot, and there wasn't any wastage of food. Such an extensive list of gins. Nice. Chose a Sipsmith and asked for a regular G&T. Two glasses of gin totally complemented the meal.
In an unusual move, since neither V nor I are dessert-sugar people, we went for dessert. Birds of Paradise has opened on the next street. I like it because it offers flavors I like — white chrysanthemum and strawberry basil. I wanted a scoop of gelato for dessert. V obliged, and bought me gelato! Wheeeee!
