I don’t get this whole “foam” food thing. I’m not a fussy eater. Heck, I’ll try anything that doesn’t have a deceased animal in it. But when this dish showed up in front of me on our trip to San … Continue reading Pretentious food … or who gobbed on my meal?
Ah Indian food, I have missed you! This afternoon we took the doglets to visit some friends, so got takeaways from Little India in Merivale on the way home. I used my iPhone to check their online menu and phoned the … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Little India – Merivale
