We had to begin the year with a meal of spices. Spices and chillies form such a large part of our diet that it wouldn't feel right to not have it as a new year meal. We eat at the restaurant throughout the year, and we were happy to have a meal here on first weekend of 2023. Bundled the floofs into the car and went off to meet the friends at Butter & Spice at Katong.
Unsurprisingly, a ton of food was ordered because everyone was hungry. Hahaha. Biryani and garlic butter naan appeared; just one conservative portion for each. The table loves the chicken mirch masala because it's fiery. Also had egg curry, fish masala, prawn kadai, lamb kadai, bindi masala,
The restaurant has Asahi on tap, so everyone had a refreshing pint each, even the carb-watchers. We wouldn't be drinking more pints in this new year meal. Let's just keep our drinking easy and happy all year round; nothing excessive and overboard. At the end of the meal, the friends welcomed the complimentary desserts. As I stared (in horror) at the friends gulping down gulab jamun and butterscotch ice-cream, I sipped my hot and well-balanced masala chai.
To 2023, my lovelies.
Everything is made better because of your friendship and support. To an introvert who's perfectly capable of sorting out my own shit, that one long text message from you is worth its weight in gold. If I need tangible help, I will shamelessly ask.
Happy New Year!
