Taste Buds - Indian Chapter 2.

Now, i'm looking forward to dinner, to every meal left here in India. I have to be honest, i got sick of eating nann everyday. We practically had nann and different kind of gravy, which by the way tastes amazingly the same, for every meal during the first 2 to 3 weeks of the trip because it's the cheapest food you could get. They have an array of gravies you can never finish ordering, but the interesting thing is that, it all tastes and looks almost the same. But i have to admit, it can be damn delicious and mouth watering. Or maybe it's mouth watering due to the fact that we're really mad starving by the time the food arrives. It normally takes what feels like 20 minutes before your food is served, which in Singapore's standard is considered snail slow.



So after that few weeks of nann meals, i surrendered and ordered western or oriental cuisines. A decision i still come to regret. I've concluded that Indians simply can't cook anything other than their own cuisine. It's like eating a whole jug of salt whenever i order anything else. Goodness, you have no idea how much H two O i need after each non-indian meal.


At the beginning of this entry, i mentioned that i'm looking forward to every meal left here. Why? It's because i'm really loving the food that the Mumtaz ( houseboat owner's wife) is whipping up. It's really oh-so-delicious homecooked food you won't get anywhere but here. I'll definitely miss this part of the India trip.


There was this day where K went off to play cricket leaving me with Sam's sisters, mother and his newly owned lamb. So i sat in the kitchen with his mother and attempted to master a few dishes. Their kitchen are amazingly hazardous i'd say, but it's a wonder how they keep things clean there. Well, when i'm back, we shall see if i did master anything from that small observation session. :D
