Friday night was a Red Lotus night - it's very rare when I can eat eggplant and like it. Am not a fan of that vegetable, the texture, the flavor... Red Lotus as a special had 'Sesame Eggplant' - what would that be? Well if you know what 'Sesame Chicken' is at a Chinese restaurant then substitute eggplant for chicken! How cow it was good - the texture was so melt in your mouth - there was a hint of eggplant taste coming through which was masked by the sweet sauce. Most times you would say ick - sweete goopy sauce covering and totally destroying the taste of the food you are eating why would you want that? Well for someone who doesn't like eggplant it was great! The eggplant was sitting on top of amongst a great tasting bed of spinach - blanched and seasoned with salt & pepper - very plain and very tasty.
I had a non-memorable chicken dish called 'Ginger Soy'.. blah. Re cooked it with blackbepper, lots of scallions, green pepper and paneer the next day for lunch.
Saturday night was Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill - yum! Sorry I didn't take any pictures - but all my concoctions were great! The secret lots of garlic oil, whatever flavour sauce, and a touch of sweet-sour sauce. For $10.95 you can have unlimited bowls of crazy concoctions of your own creation - it's like getting a huge indgredient bar and letting your imagination go nutz! If you don't know how to cook they have some recipe's on the wall - but I don't see how you can enjoy if you don't like to cook.
Sunday lunch was frozen barbecue chicken pizza and tonight was Subway - yuck! Never having the oven roasted chicken sub EVER again - it was like eating re-constituted sponge...
So overall a very blah weekend in regards to food. Did lookup recipe for Chicken Chittenad and Kolhapuri chicken - next weekend will definitely have to cook one of these dishes to make up for this weekend's food flavor famine (cept for crazy fire). Next weekend is already looking up - there's a planned baby shower for a friend with some good food in the works and hopefully the plan for Chicken Chittenad makes it.
