Spicy Lamb Chops

I could never be a proper food blogger; I woke up this morning in a haze and couldn't remember what I'd eaten! I think this is why most food bloggers take a picture of the food. Not to add interest to their blog but as evidence. My method of recall is simple; however squiffy I feel at the end of the night I still manage to go through the bill with a fine toothcomb and then file it away neatly in my wallet. I now know what we ate last night!

Went to Ex-Pat street again and to Once Upon A Bar....again. That's cos it's GOOD. It was comforting, but equally worrying that they recognised me from last time. I suppose it's not too weird: a jobless, scruffy, size 11 footed, flip-flop wearing English bloke in the middle of the Central Business District. I did try to hide behind a twinkly tree but they still spotted me. Plus, I'm the bloke who has to drink 2 pints, looking like he's trying to work out the meaning of life whilst waiting 45 mins for his missus to turn up! This is why I need an iPhone, so I can blog away and Tweet while waiting for El Jacko to get outta work. I'll sort that next week.

Right, yeah, so we had the obligatory Chicken Tikka starter, obviously. To add to this we had the best tandoori lamb chops ever! Better than in Tayyabs in London's trendy east end! They were so tender. They were an off-menu request after I saw an Indian bloke raving about them on another table. It turned out that he was the owner of the Indian food kitchen at the back of the bar. He went on to give me his business card. His name was Surender Singh; like a call to arms for the karaoke generation. I will definitely surrender to his spicy lamb chops at one of his other branches around town. And that is not a euphemism.

To the main course: Butter Chicken - plump chicken breast in a rich, creamy, lightly spiced sauce and Nali Gosht - soft, deep-flavoured lamb in a thick, fragrant sauce; all mopped up with light, smoky nan breads and onion rice. Delicious stuff.

Of course we'll be back: love it.
