Spices at Gokul


The friends wanted to have dinner at Gokul, which is wonderful, except that it's a lot of carbs. I needed to restrict the urge to eat the whole plate of the vegetarian restaurant's special Hokkien mee. They put in two types of excellent chilli. Have I already mentioned that I love this vegetarian Hokkien mee more than other versions? Heh.

Plates of carbs slammed onto the table. There were Chettinad biryani, special Hokkien mee, and I didn't know why prata came in too. The vegetarian curries at the side with the prata were definitely better than those weak chicken and fish curries provided at the usual prata stalls. Then there were sambal goreng, paneer makhni, and Mysore mutton. We were four at this table. Still. We definitely over-ordered!

Had a nightcap nearby at Olibier Rooftop Bar on Dickson Road. J and P was just here last month, but the man and I didn't have any recollection of it. We remembered another of those little corner bars that hosted gigs and we got beers there. When I walked up the stairs to Olibier on the second and third floor of a shophouse, I was like, wow! I came here years ago when it was a bar of another name. I don't remember that name now. But this held the same old cool casual vibes.
