Ashutosh Eating Tips

On Saturday evening, we attended Winter Feast at Harbour Front Center in Downtown Toronto, where the fire show was a highlight. However, the limited food stalls offered few vegetarian options, prompting us to try the Indian Roti/Dosa House across the road.
The establishment had a few tables and chairs, but we were required to order and pay at the counter. We ordered Plain Dosa, Mix Veg, and Nan, which were served in containers and food had to be picked up from the counter. Basically a takeout establishment with no service; even water had to be purchased.

The dosa was good so was the coconut chutney, but the sambar was disappointing, being watery, cold, and flavorless. The Mix Veg was primarily composed of chole and potato, with a few pieces of cauliflower and carrot, making it barely palatable. The Nan was not freshly cooked and seemed to be from a store and warmed up on a tawa.

Although prices were low, so was the food quality and service.

Fonthill is a small town about 20 min from Niagara Falls, Canadian side.

We (6 of us ) went for dinner at Young Thai Cuisine , Fonthill.
Most of thai restaurant offers Green , Red and Penang Curry , but this restaurant also had Yellow Curry , Pumpkin Curry , Pad Pong Karee ( Golden Curry Sauce) , Ginger Garlic Sauce all with Veg, Chicken, lamb, Beef, Shrimp or mixed Seafood - quite an option to choose from for Curry lovers.

A few of us had been to Young Thai earlier and they ordered their favorite Green Mango Salad, Crab Ragoons ( Egg rolls with crab meat ) , Steam chicken dumplings, Hot & Sour Chicken Soup for starters and for mains Chicken Green Curry, Veg Green Curry , Lamb Yellow Curry. I do not remember having Chicken Pad Pong Karee earlier so I decided to try this. It turned out to be very tasty , good flavour with yellow curry powder , soya sauce , stir fried Eggs and vegetables.

I found steam dumplings not so fresh, Hot & Sour soup neither Hot nor Sour and Lamb Yellow curry a bit oily, Otherwise all other items were very good in taste . Good Food

They took our last order by 0830 PM and we checked in around 0800PM so we could not get our desserts - Friday night !!

Enjoy Eating .

For my wife's Birthday Lunch we ( 6 of us) went to Sona's Grill , Indian Resturant at Robertson Quay Singapore.

The owner Mr Gautam took personal interest in our order and helped in deciding the Vegetarian dishes, as for kids we wanted very less spicy food.

For starters , we had Malai Paneer & Chilli Paneer and for main Bhindi Do Payaza, Dikush Kofta, Daal Makhani accompanied by Rotis ,Garlic Naans, Stuffed Aloo Kulcha, Laccha Paratha. All the dishes were freshly prepared and less spicy as we wanted . All the food taste really very good . Not only adults even Kids enjoyed the food - Very Happy.

Vargin Mohito's sweet & sour was very refreshing and we also had Beer.

Sitting accomodation was nice , nothing fancy but decent & quite. Service was good and Personal attention given by Mr Gautam was plus plus.

We had been to many Indian resturants in Singapore and at Sona's Grill , we had one of our best Indian food and experience.

For more than 6-7 Yrs we have been eating Doubles at Drupatis as I like their pepper sauce and Tarmarind sauce . I drive long distance just to eat Doubles here. I do not mind paying extra for containers & sauces , when asked for.

Today , for takeout, ordered 10 doubles , kids like premade doubles ,Plus 5 doubles ( seperate flat bread and chick peas filling and sauces) as I love to mix my own proportion of sauces.

I paid extra for the container for chick peas. I was told that seperate pepper sauce & Tarmarind sauce has been given for 5 doubles. I did not ask for extra.

On reaching home I find None of the sauce has been packed. Disappointing .

After confirming that sauces have been packed and not doing is called.......

By saving on sauces , few dollar worth, Drupadi profit margins may improve but customers like me will be lost definitely.

I asked for Chole Kulcha was informed this option is Not there , cancelled .
Opted for (1)Chole Paratha - 2 small Parathas - precooked - Cold , Not even heated again .

(2) Idli Sambhar - Sambhar was stale , Chutney was good .

The attitude of staff is Rude , as though they are doing Big favour on me by giving food and Air Asia do not pay them.
