You may wonder why start with "Burp"?
It's a compliment. "Better out than in". Shrek always say that.
At last its finally executed today. "Treat" given by a bunch of Newly* Wedded teammates.
Venue: Al Arab, Mylapore.
Al Arab is a kinda Indo-Arabian cuisine hotel. Once we step into Al Arab, one could feel an Arabian ambiance around. It's the waiters and attendants who make us feel that way. They are all seen dressed up in their traditional Arabian outfits(white pyjamas & red checked scarfs). There are four floors in the hotel. It seems that 3rd and 4th are meant for buffet. We were all accommodated in the 4th floor. The feast was set open once the mini charcoal grill sears were set in our tables. First we were served with a roll of Shawarma. It was really a good preparation. Then the waiters revolved around the table placing the pre grilled Chicken, paneer with few veggies over the charcoal sears. Taste of the grilled chicken was quite different with a carbonized aroma. Chicken was soft & tender but had a bland taste and could not be consumed without sauce or mayonnaise. After 2 to 3 rounds of grilled starters I was unable to lift myself from the seat to fetch the main course. With great difficulty I reached the buffet table with my friends. The main course had 2(V & NV) hot & spicy soups, around 10 different salads, 2 types of stews, a fish curry, 2 other gravies, briyani rice, naan, curd rice. Opposite to the main course table they have stationed my favorite items, "The Desserts". They were good in number. So I decided to cut short my main course and reserve space for desserts. So I just tried few salads and had a small quantity of curd rice. Once I was done with my short main course, I hopped towards the Desserts area and loaded my plate with a choco truffle, a small piece of brownie, a scoop of fresh cream, a Gulub Jamun piece, few pieces from fruit salad, 2 scoops of vanilla icecream. Regarding the desserts, brownie and Gulub Jamun could have been better, otherwise it was worth the taste. In short it was like a welcoming feast given at Hogwards(Konjam exaggerate panniten)
