fire in the belly.

in celebration of his birthday, jimmy treated family to lunch at this highly-acclaimed south indian resturant(just ask makansutra!).. what great timing since i have been meaning to do a south indian food aricle!

my obsession with trans-fat created futile resistence to these fluffy-fans of papadums

an unfamiliar fact to no one, south indian food is HOTSTUFF. haha.. be sure to watch your treshold for spice..

dad took to the hulking fish head with instant delight, nipping digging his way through the intricate network of fish bones. i myself too lazy to do so found comfort within the chicken masala. chicken-lovers listen up, the well-spiced chicken masala is a must-have and for the extra kick, use the masala as a dip for your papadum!

after all that spice, you eventually wash it alll down with a cold glass of lime juice. -pats tummy

ok if you are worried about the nutrition of indian food, apparently tumeric (a yellow spice which is used in just about every south indian dish) is can-cer-pre-ven-tive! floppingfingfingers, is that so!?! yar... -keeps a straight face.

ok, moving on before i can panned for being medically incorrect .. at banana leaf, the service was impeccable if i say so myself. the clad-in-pink-and-black waiters were personal and attentive.. while we were there, it felt like being a citizen of the world as apart from the locals, there were japanese, thais, caucasians and even africans customers- all bonded by our fondness and fascination with south indian food.

they say when you have fire in your belly, you are ready to fight with energy and determination for what you believe is right. well, in my case, the fire in my belly only caused a weak churning feeling in my tummy allllll day.

banana leaf apollo- visit only if your constitution does not fail you.
