Visit to the fish Market

Have you Ever Visited a Fish market & bought that fish for the Evening Dinner of Maach Bhaat  mentioning especially for the Bengalis ... My Bengali Friends pride themselves on the Knowledge they have acquired over the years in buying that Perfect Fish for their Maach Bhaat or Fish Curry With Rice ... Men, Women alike take active interest in the buying of this Staple food ...... Maach Bhaat is no ordinary staple for Bengalis ....My Friends tell me that while feeding a Bengali Kid, mothers dont have to take the trouble of taking out the small thorns  are their in the Fish

Fresh Fish ... Rohu being the most Popular

I have recently acquired this habit of buying Fresh fish from the Fish Market at CR Park, which is like a Very famous Fish Market -- being in the hub of a Bengali Society ... Have been used to that strange smell, many people may feel its a stench, but once you get used to it ....... It just becomes part of the Fish Buying Process .... Rohu, which is the river Fish is the most Popular Curry Fish ......




Rohu Fish typically weighs from 2Kg-4Kgs & has lot of small thorns in it...Its best made as a Spicy Curry & to be had with Steamed Rice

Fresh King Prawns...... Fresh to Fry & savour



Star Prawns .. smaller



Crabs ....



A Spicy & Fiery Rohu Fish Curry.......




Have with Steamed Rice ........

Thai Shack@ Kailash Colony


 
Located in the Main Kailash Colony Market, & Opened Recently is a Nice & Small Thai Eatery Called Thai Shacks. This place is predominantly a Take away & Free Home Delivery Outlet . It also has some 2-3 Tables to accommodate some guests who may drop by for a snack





I start with the Highly recommended Kothe Momos. The Service is Prompt and within 5 minutes i receive my order of Hot & Fresh Momos.... The First bite was enough to tell me that I am in for a great taste ride.. The Momos, were Crispy Fried on One side & soft steamy on the Other Side, The Momos are sauted with a light Oil on the Pan & then served, quite a different treatment from the Normal Momos that we are served. Nicely Crisp, Soft on ones side, each bite filled with Juices....One of the best & Light Momos I have eaten...


The Juicy, succulent  crsipy Kothe Momos


Then i Ordered a Great sounding dish called the Nasigorang... This is an Indonesian Spiced rice & this is how it looks
The Fiery & Spicy, Indonesian NaziGoran Rice


Served with a Fried Egg on top of the Rice, The NasiGorang, strange sounding in name, but packed quite a Punch with the Spices ... The Chicken & shrimps are nicely tossed & Mixed with the rice ...  The Flavor of Fresh Basils ad greatly to the spicy &hot taste of the NasiGorang

Do Visit Or Order from Thai Shack, when in mood for a Nice Spicy Thai meal

Thai Food@Culiniare, GK-2

This Place serves probably one of the best Thai Food in the most beautiful settings. The Perfect Place for a Nice & quite dinner with Family, Friends , Spouse or your Girlfriend . Located just a stones throw from the Happening GK-2 market, In the Corner is this beautiful Open Space restaurant




Open Air seating just adds the extra Charm
The first thing you notice here is how the owner of the restaurant, a smart Looking elderly gentleman, greets his customers & remains in the thick of the action during the entire evening. The seating at the restaurant is a nice, comfortable, no frills kind of a seating & the perfect ambience for a Good Chit Chat, with no Music to disturb that nice conversation

For starters, The Chicken Satay is a very healthy bite. Tender Pieces of chicken are grilled and served with an amazing dip of Peanut sauce. The Chicken is nicely grilled & is reasonably juicy & mildly spiced, Just to get the appetite ready


Crisp Chicken LollyPops

The Chicken Larb Salad is another winner. Lightly steamed & mildly Flavoured chicken is Tossed with some sprouts, fresh basil, Lime Juice , Vegetables to make this tasty salad. The taste is slightly pungent, Little sour & really fresh thanks to the basil leaves
Chicken Dimsums, are again very nicely flavoured, with no flavour being too strong. You feel the flavour of light steamed chicken, with mild spices, and the dips do the trick. My recommendation is the Sweet Schwezwan Dip, which they serve. Sweet & hot, its really worth a try


The Dimsums are yummy...The Sweet Schezwan is too die for

The Thai Yellow Curry is the Hot favourite in the restaurant. Served with a bowl of Steamed rice, the Yellow Curry is the perfect meal after a really tiring day. Coconut milk lends the richness & the viscosity to the amazing curry. The strong flavour of Fresh lemongrass adds to the mesmerising aroma, Basil leaves just add the zing to the curry ..and Vow what a meal you get ....Highly recommended especially after a hard days work, It will be refreshing



The Refreshing Yellow Curry
The Chicken Donor Kababs are also quite popular on the Menu. Culiniare doesn’t use any MsG ... Ageeno Motto which is a very key ingredient in the Chinese & Thai food
The Caramel Custard also is quite a Hit here

Must Try – Yellow Chicken Curry with Rice, Chicken Satay, Donor Kabab
