Sunshine Diwali

this is a nod n a thank goin out to Kumu for dat invitation to the Deepavali lunch at his place...

On Thurs, Kumu invited the NWo gang n miself to his place along Sunshine Terrace in Yio Chu Kang for a Deepavali lunch (belated it was actualli)nice ploy ma bro gettin us to dress niceli cos supposed 'guests' were comin in addition to us..u see, to us testosterone-fuelled guys, we naturalli made e assumption dat this meant der Ladies were comin as well..

so of course we dressed up (more than dictated by e bounds of smart casual) like Ents waitin to meet the Ent-wives (in Lord of e Rings parlance)...n Kumu fooled us all..but i guess he was right..dat was the onli way to get a nice formal clothin picture of all o'us for once...cheat!

the food was great i tell ya...Kumu's mum serves the best sambal prawn n curried quail egg this side of the hemisphere i dare say!n e mutton n chix was fabulous... not too spicy but a full range of flavours on e palatte...n the gravy was pasty n not too watery, which for Indian food is ideal i feel...n was dat vegetable curry sauce ladeled on my banana leaf, on top o' ma rice? (ate au naturale we did) makes e rice go smooth down da throat man...a bit like chinese soup with rice..sigh..e onli thing lackin was a good dry n citrus white wine to complement and even bring out the flavours..but then again..we strive for perfection right?

we had a great time..thanks Kumu! friendship refreshed by a good meal is always welcome with mi..its been attributed to Benjamin Franklin, "Praise the Lord, and pass the ammo!" let it be attributed to mi, "Praise the Lord, and pass the curry!"
