Taste good, but…

Oddly enough this is not a reference to my Saturday night.

Saturday night was very good, and I am definitely going back to C’est Bon at some point in the near future. I will also get back to it in a future instalment.

The reason for this, and the reason I am not mentioning the ridiculously generous amount of butter everything at C’est Bon was cooked in, is a place called Indian Brothers. It stands on the sight of the restaurants Sing Sing and New Sing Sing. It is very well designed, in a plain but very well laid out way. C’est Bon was more of a come have a meal, eat and be social environment, more intimate then Indian Brothers. Possibly the same amount of butter, but better. The menu is larger at Indian Brothers, the portions are bigger and the food…

At C’est Bon, before we had ordered the degustation, we started with a pea mousse with a mint foam. It was delightful.  This was followed by a piece of baguette with butter, very good butter.

Then came the a salad of prosciutto, mustard leaves or rocket, scallops, mushrooms, and rum soaked raisins (is that how you spell raisins? Weird.).  The whole combination was great. The flavours all mingled together like some sort of bizarre song that caught you by surprise, but you couldn’t help grooving along.

A soup came next, cream and tomato, with a small piece of barramundi in the middle. This was really good, simple yet tasty. I loved this the most of all I think (None of this beat GOMAs scallops, but I wasn’t expecting it to).

A palette cleanser came next. A sorbet with little bits of meringue. Nice.

This was followed by vegetables and half a quail. If you want to know how to make this a meal, boil everything in butter, then add extra melted butter and reduce until everything tastes like it has a butter coating, finally sprinkle with butter. I am only guessing by the way. It was brilliantly buttery though.

This was followed by dessert. A mango salsa on a piece of pineapple, with ice cream, toffee and fresh cream. Again, very well done.

I would go back to C’est Bon in a heart beat.

Indian Brothers, though. I want to go back to make sure.

I ordered a mixed tandoori  plate and a mixed entree. All of this, the lamb, chicken and vegetarian sausages, tasted good at the time. The tandoori lamb cutlets were great. The samosa’s and pakora’s tasted really good. The lamb and cheese naan I had tasted pretty good too, as did the tikki chaat.

Tikki Chaat tastes really good. I had no expectations when I ordered it. They said to us it was street food. It tastes like a mild curry and a yoghurt took a dive onto some chick peas and a naan. In a really good way.

My problem is that I felt a little off my food for the rest of the afternoon after that. I need to go back to see if it was their food or something else. I am hoping it wasn’t their food, because I really liked the flavours.

Oh well, if it is it just means I don’t eat there that often.

Eat well.
