Tamarind tree
|
|
Until couple of weeks back I didn't know that there is something called
Vietnamese cuisine
. But now I am in love with it. It all started when one of my friends decided to treat us at a different place. After rejecting Indian, Thai and Chinese, one guy came up with a Vietnamese restaurant -
Tamarind Tree
. I like trying different cuisines ,so I was very much eager to try out. The restaurant was in the congested downtown corner. No matter how good your interpretation skills are, the first time you see a menu, it's all greek and latin. Left the menu choice to the person who already been here. Wow…he did order some scrumptious food. The first one to come was a coconut drink and tofu rolls. Tofu and green leaves were rolled in a transparent white paper kind of thing. I wasn't sure what that is, to eat with it or without it. It was nothing but
rice paper
. {Rice can be made like paper ?! Man, I call that innovation ;-)}. No worry as long as it tastes good. Main course is also rice paper with fried tofu. Though the quantity looked small but it filled the stomach. Dessert was (mouth watering) roasted coconut ice cream. After we felt everything is done, one guy came up with the idea of trying Vietnamese coffee. Coffee after an ice cream might be odd one to have but no one wanted to reject it. The coffee was very thick but provided great refreshment. With that the luscious lunch came to an end.
After getting bowled over by the cuisine I took few other friends last week. When I asked them how the food was, I placed them in a kind of bother. Seeing my love for the cuisine they didn't want to disappoint me with their answer. They had a fear that, if they say it was good, I'll ask them for frequent visits to the same restaurant :- ( Still waiting for the answer :- (
Movies over the week : தாவணிக் கனவுகள்: There is one particular scene which shows the class of
Bhagiyaraj
. The hero takes his sisters to a movie. During few smooching scenes, the hero drops a coin under the seat and asks them to look for the coin. He gets lured in one such scene,forgets to drop a coin and his younger sister reminds him to drop a coin again. That is a masterpiece. Also saw ராசுக்குட்டி ;-). பட்டியல் was good.

Reverse order....
|
|
I was having a chat with one of my American colleague this morning. After finishing the normal what's up thing, the brief chat headed towards personal life.
Col: So you have been around this place for quite some time, do you like it?Me: Ya, I like it very much.Col: Planning to settle here?Me: No, I want to go back. What about you?Col: I got a kid recently and got confirmed in job and I want to stay here. Also planning to get married…
No need to say that I got bowled over though it is common thing here. He noticed that I got a bit staggered with his answer; he just said "My life is in a kind of reverse order, you know”. We smiled and departed. So, for those people who think you'll get kids only after marriage, please change that thought ;-)
